I thought your car was still in gel coat. It looks painted to me. I can't tell with the MKIVs anymore! Which is it?

Either way it looks great. You should submit it as a POM. It's a great shot!

Thanks for the pics,

WEK.

Fantastic photos! A well deserved selection - tough competition for any POM on any car site. Really nice.

Very nice pics!
What seats are they? Any good for a tall guy?!

skullandbones, that IS my gel-coat! :cool: It actually polishes up very nice and the photographer photoshopped out the parting lines. He did a GREAT job. (Tom Johnson of Slow-n-Low Studios).
It's actually heading off to paint next week, it will be weird to not see it red anymore.


chopthebass, the seats were actually something I bought used from a local guy, they were comfortable, but were starting to wear and fade, also not good for a tall guy. I just picked up a pair of UltraShield Rally Sport seats, that I can't wait to install! I will increase the padding on them a little, but the fit is better and they really hold you in well.

Thanks to all of the others! can't wait for the driving season, this snow is starting to suck!

You don't like the snow? You should live in Calgary!! I've never seen so much!

You would get my vote. Great pic of a beautiful car in a wonderful setting on a nice day. What is the color. I'm looking at a red but have not decided yet. That is beautiful. Nick C.

Thanks for all of the compliments. Couldn't be prouder.
