Hard to beat a first gen RS for curb appeal...

I like the blue better.

I like the blue better.

I'll second that!

I don't have any before and after pics of my car because I've only had it 3 weeks. The parts I ordered have yet to get here (wink wink)

Here is my Sonoma though.....

Week before I sold it

sweet little truck.
I had to change the Gold to that I stood out, the Gold was the original color called Granada Gold. Alot of people liked the Gold I just didn't like having a car that looked like someone elses.

Thanks man! It wasn't the nicest but I did 100% of the work myself.

I understand where you are coming from with wanting something that stands out. I'm the same way but there are so many 3rd and 4th gens out there you need to think outside the box at this point. There is a fine line between having something different and having something hidious

Ill be honest I liked how it looked better before, but i still like how it looks now. hard to do a first gen wrong.

BTW -- I REALLY hate cardomain!!! They freaking do invasive popups and malware practices now. Wow, totally turned off to ever going to CarDomain again...

Sorry, Dino, but the RS functional lamps make or break the car.

And the gold is cool...when was the last time you saw another gold one?

But, again, it's tough to screw up a first gen...

There's a gold one here in GR and when I would go to Superfest there was always 2 or 3 and one in Grandhaven or Zeeland. Plus I will have the only RS with a solid front grill.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, I liked the Gold a lot better Dino, I only saw it once that way too other than the pics. However, it doesn't look bad, and hey, it's your car so have it how you want it!!!

[WMCC Gary]

Funny you guys should say that. I have been telling him that since it was painted. Not to say the blue doesn't look good, cause it does. But I like the gold and the grill with the headlight doors installed better.
