I plan on getting Pappy to powder coat the hubs, frame and subframe turqouise, the swinger glossy black. got new houser slicast +1 a-arms for christmas, gonna pick up some white plastics, haven't decided on what graphics kit yet. Always looking for suggestions! And that's all i got right now. I want to maybe also get the shocks revalved, haven[t decided yet. It's been a lot of work so far but i think we may get the engine out by wednesday. Thanks for asking!

black and blue with white plastics should look real good.

Definitely revalve the shocks, you'll wonder how you rode the stockers for so long...:o

i think a pink frame, or pink plastics would look sick. maybe a pink/white combo. most guys would be jealous!

ATV Chic
01-18-2010, 01:30 PM
haha u know i think i'm gonna get these graphics actually lol they will look good on the white. What's funny is i seriously thought about getting the frame and sub frame sea foam green and going with the bottom graphics

lol it hurts my eyes. i don't know wether to hate it, or love it! the color of the exhaust shield is crazy.

ATV Chic

The color of the exhaust shield is what i thought about doing the frame and sub in, but i decided to go with turquoise instead. i like that quad alot staakej!

Love the color combo, its really coming together

I say lose those wheels entirely, I've always thought they looked hideous

DWT > HiPer.


The carbon fiber fad is over, function > looks.

I busted 4 HiPer rears last year before I went back aluminum. Bought DWT this year and never looking back.


Quad looks sharp, definitely fork out and get the shocks revalved. A Clear oversized tank would look great as well.

def i'll keep you in mind. Do you own an eclipse? if so what year? I have a set of brand new kyb shocks and struts for a 95-99 that i was going to sell on ebay. They are in the orginal boxes. The boxes are a lil smashed from being on a shelf with other stuff in my shed but the shocks are fine. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Eclipsemike
04-28-2010, 06:52 PM
yes i own an eclipse. i actually own two (both of them are 95's) i have one as a daily driver and one as a show car. send me some pics of the struts and gfive me a price for them. i may be interested in them if the price is right. right now i am not really workin on my cars it is riding time. i save the cars for the winter time when riding is almost out of the picture but i am in the need for a new set of struts. are they struts with the coilovers built in or are they just regular struts that use the stock springs?

ATV Chic
05-05-2010, 04:44 PM
Sorry I haven't replied before now. Been super busy. These are the KYB G2's and they're for use with the stock springs. I could do 80 shipped for the struts if you're still interested. Pics Pm'd
