Graboid....that is one sexy looking vert! Gotta love black! Probably the best, if not one of the best.... looking cars ive seen one this board!

Sounds like there are a few jaded members posting in this thread to me.

 

thanks. I don't care if someone doesn't like my car or what i do with it. Although comments like: "nice photoshop" and then changing to "yes, it's a halo" can be annoying....

 

Dude... that car is beautiful. Let no one tell you different.

 

You can install a hidden override switch that you can add power to when the battery dies. Also you can crawl through the trunk in a pinch.

I liked the way Graboid left the handles on while taking the locks and cap off. It makes it unique and it's still practical.
Even if I could see a halo I wouldn't care. I noticed that all C4 Vettes have a defect on their hood from the factory. I see it all the time now. The paint is on and it's done- good enough.
I would try to move the filler behind the plate for convenience though.

 

Ive had to get in thru the hatch on a couple occasions.Not the most dignified way to access your car in a parking lot.Now i just keep a spare door key in my wallet.Flush mount handles is my preferred method if i ever do a door mod...But Id never shave them off.

 

I can see the halo too...maybe it was just the picture though. I inverted the pic and adjusted brightness/contrast so maybe you can see the halo now?

 

huh? Oh and BTW I dunno were I saw this but I remember someone using a fiero gas door and having a silinoid to open it instead of the cable I believe.

 

What kit did you use?

 

again, i said that i see that too, but i don't give a damn if it only appears when i use the flashlight of my camera. The car will be repainted next year anyway (the reason is not the halo, but the black, which sucks ***) and i will take care of the problem and make all you guys happy.

 

lol, as long as you make us happy. I was just showing it so others who said they couldn't see it might be able to.

 

Wow that shaved gas cap really looks fine to me, but won't you get in trouble when you've got tot get the car inspected??

 

You're doing a color change? What color? I think the black looks awesome on your car, but it can be a pain in the ***.

 

rené, i passed the inspection last august. they didn't look for the gas cap, even when he searched in the trunk for rust. But i don't think it is legal, at least in switzerland.
MetallicamaroRS, I will go for an industrial type of grey ( RAL 7040 or 7015). The kind of color you might on the chassis of trucks or heavy costruction machinery. Nothing metallic or fancy.
I mean, duringh the two hours after sunset, nothing beats black. But in sunlight, people who own a black car know what i am talking about.

 

Go in thru the truck! Hatch backs rule!

I for one have only had to go in the back due to a dead battery once in 3 years. The other times was to to pure stupidity in leaving the keys in the car!

Gas attendants look at me funny when i pop the trunk to fill up. I'm waiting for onr to get on to me, thinking I'm filling up a gas tank in the car. There is a big not allowed sign on the pumps about filling gas cans in the car! I did get fussed at once when I emptied out the gas in the pump line before I put the handle in the car. I just let the handle drip out the remnants before I select my grade. The guy was ticked, said I was not allowed to do that. I said, well its safer on the ground than in my truck on my amp or speakers! He shut up pretty quick when he saw me putting the handle in the filler in the trunk!

Graboid: your car looks awesome BTW!
