Default Update Pics: RS 1.0 from Miami

I haven't posted in like a year or something: Here is a little update, I have more mods, need newer pics. What do you guys think, I am anti-flame, so any comments are welcomed.

The mirror will stay. Im in the process of sourcing matching side mirrors. Part of the retro them I am going for. As for the wheels, Im deciding between the red, or silver while I save for some new wheels.

madd clean. i'd say go for silver wheels all around, as i think it'll better match your retro styling.

I was thinking the same. I want to eventually add more chrome, handles, bumper applique, window trim, etc... Not too much though.

yeah, then deff go with the silver, or you could do black as well, it would look good with the hot lava, and the polished lip would look good with the other shinny stuff you want to add.

My camera skills do not do the color justice, sorry.

I love it, I bought it brand new in 2004, and to this day, people still stop me and compliment the color. I couldnt be happier.

X2...
I just don't see the point of fender mirrors, especially when the stock ones are still on the doors!

I would do another matching fender mirror and get blank panels for the doors. And get used to looking over your shoulder alot A panoramic rearview inside would help.

Also, I think colormatching all the 002's to hot lava would be dope as hell.

Thanks for the opinions guys! Dancar420 I see ya!!!!!

The fender mirror, yeah, I get mixed opinions on that. I personally Like it. And I've explained the purpose is to have there for a blind spot I got cause of the way I sit. Im not changing the way I sit, lol. I will be getting matching bullet style mirrors to replace the OEM ones. They are discontinued in Japan, but are still able to be found used.

I havent decided with the wheels yet. It looks like I might color match them hot lava.

I must say that the RS1 is my favorite of the release series' as well.
Looks like you've kept yours nice & purty!

Everyone is going to have their opinion on your ride. Do your thing.
Like on mine, not everyone likes all my LED's & cathodes everywhere. But oh well, I like em!
