The color is Maple Red. It was for me the only color I wanted.

Dude that car looks straight nasty with that front bumper on it. I love it. X10 on the nostrils being black and different wheels. That color looks good on it!

Yup I am a kwel lady who has a red hot ride.

Also, I agree with everyone I will be looking at making the vents black. As for wheels well I guess my Dad must be getting vibes from all of you guys. He wants me to put on 18s too. For me now it is just nice to have a nice looking car again. When I needed to drive it to keep the fluid moving and the battery charged it meant driving around with the primed black hood.

My next project for next summer is to put the hood to work with a CAI.

I can only imagine your face when you hit your first parking curb.


That looks beautiful.

Yeah, maybe a big sticker on the dash that says CAUTION: CURBS! as a reminder...food for thought.
I always wanted to add that lower part to my ride...

Might still do it one day but not molded.

I will be very careful. I have been driving it for 12 years with that big airdam. I approach a curb with care. I try to always back in when I park it.

I think the front lip looks pretty sick. Makes the car that much more mean looking! And that color....that color is fantastic!

I think it really finishes up the front end, levels out the front with the side ground effects more evenly, imo

Agreed. The red makes it look cheap, eg "hey should we paint these seperate?" "nah just leave em in and spray over them"

The rest looks awesome though

Love the hood, love the color, and DEFINITELY agree it needs new wheels! It's not that your stockers are bad looking, they're just too small! IMO T/A's never should have come with less than a 17" wheel.

The lip is too low for my taste, but I appreciate the work it took to mold it...I like that aspect of it.

And once you paint the hood inserts black, how about getting more of that insert material, or similar, and make a set for the vents on the lip? Those two openings look a bit unfinished to me, being open like that.

That body shop did an excellent job with molding that lip on! I'm guessing lowering your car is TOTALLY out of the question at this point.

Definitely came out looking great! But like others have pointed out...look out for those random high parking blocks and curbs.
