Default My Purdy TA - 56k Friendly? Nope.

Took some new ones today (decided to celebrate since finals week is over!). My TA doesn't even come close to many of the rides shown on this site but there aren't many BGC paint colors around here. No really new appearance mods: clear corners & muffinbuster's steel side vents basically sums it up. Only photoshopping was cropping out a white truck from two photos. I also got a nice wind effect on the trees since it seems to be very windy today. Here are the pictures, hot off the steam press:

(Yes, I see the sign - easy photoshop to remove, thought it was pretty funny as well)












Next mod will be lowering as the 4x4 look is really starting to annoy me. Any comments/suggestions are welcome, especially picture taking advice (I know, no things popping out of the car).

Thanks for the complements, everyone.

Good idea with polishing the calipers but it would be a pain to clean every week since it's a DD and will get dirty very fast. I will probably give them a fresh coat of silver paint and call it a day. I currently have dumps but I do plan on some Corsa tips some day in the far future.


For my first major mod, I have no idea. It will be quite some time before I decide to do any large performance mods as I just do not have the money to spend on my car atm.

I actually decided not to do the rears as I think they would stand out too much. The ambers did not match anything so that is the only reason I did the fronts (plus I got them for a great deal).


Black C5 Z06: Not from me.

Ahh yes, I remember those pictures. Amazing looking car and it's a hardtop! If you ever shoot more pictures with your Formy as the focal point, shoot me a PM. Do you like the WS6 hood more than the sleek beak (stock) hood?

BlkBird2000: Think that is the first complement I've gotten on my stock wheels on this site.
