I've gotta pick myself up a can to match my EB Ghia soon, need to finish my sideskirt repair & start on the front bar. I've found i need to rub back, fix up cracks, and re prime, paint & clear my front bar (GT) roughly every 2 years to keep it from looking too shabby. The paint joint in hoppers crossing can color match your paint & then put it into a spray can for you, makes touch up work like my front bar a lot easier, and you get a good result if your prep work is good enough.

I am wanting to do something with my interior but and cannot for the life of me decide what i want to do, i was thinking painting the center console and lid black, or spraying the green dash, orange ! Or better yet doing both !

In my Xr8, a EB series 1, the headlining is stuffed, so i'm removing it & swapping in a good series 2 item, which is a much lighter shade of grey. I'm not sure what it will turn out like, but if it's ok i might just leave it in there.
Have you thought about mixing & matching some of the s1 & s2 interia bits to create an effect? The carpet in the Xr8 is also pretty crappy, i was thinking about replacing it with s2 carpet, so light grey carpet & headlining, dark seats, door trims & dash. It might work. I'm thinking it will give a more roomy feel to the interia with some of it lighter. Cheers ToranaGuy

Well all of my interior is a light shade of grey, and if i do anything with the headliner it would be to replace it or restick it because i sags now like no bodies business ! The only thing that stops it from dropping on my head is the sun visor !

Ok got a quote on some Lowered Shocks today, Autobarn gave me a price tag of abit under $450 and Sprint Autoparts gave me a quote of about $285 so it looks like the EB is getting slammed on its a** soon. I decided if i go ahead with slamming it, it will receive my Superlows, i am now longer thinking about downgrading to low springs. Hopefully this will end my awful 4wd Drive with stock shocks.
Also still waiting on my Pipe should get it Monday.......well i hope because i am flying out to Sydney Tuesday morning and would like to have it on before i go ! I will also order my shocks before i leave so when i get back i get a nice surprise !

Remember, you don't want to drop your car below the state legal minimum ground clearance for your state. Hell, my EB with SL's is hard enough to get over some speed humps and it still can go another 20mm lower and be legal..... I have "short stroke" shocks in my EB, designed to be run with lower than stock springs, so the shocks don't bottom out, which is very bad for them & very unsafe. Cheers ToranaGuy

SAD Update
Just found a V6 Magna that has full leather interior which looks mint, 5 speed manual, great paintwork, and both heater and aircon work so should be seeing that in my carport on Tuesday !

Only thing sad about that is that it is front wheel drive, unless you got an AWD model, but i doubt that..... So what happens with the ford? Cheers ToranaGuy
