Color from a C4 Corvette? Black Rose Metallic?

**edit** damn, someone beat me to it...

BTW, nice car!

 

Craziness. I just checked the folder full of samples to just be sure I got it right, and since the shop still has the one I signed off on (they keep it for their files), and I still have the Black Rose Metallic in the folder, and you're right, it's a Chevy color... that means I totally misrepresented my own paint job! :doh:

The color that's not in the folder full of samples is Dark Rose Red. The cat is out of the bag. Probably like 10 seconds before Google's cache blows up and people start :rofl: at me. Thanks for the compliments and making comparisons to Benz's and Vette's, though!

Flatterting! :bowdown:

 

looks nice but i like honda's better

 

nice, i remember following your buildup since you joined

 

lol, it has a half tilted muffler...i liek the paint though. reminds me of my old color (magenta)

 

Out of all the DSM's I've seen...they ALL have angled mufflers.

 

The N1 exhausts are all angled like that as long as they're actually made by Apex'i. Even for their Civic applications. But what's really cool about that particular exhaust is that it's 3" all the way to the turbo, and so straight, you can see through the mid-pipe when you hold it up telescope-style. I wasn't even slightly concerned with looks or sound when I bought it, but I'm not disappointed with either.

Edit: Here's what second-gen DSM exhausts look like stock. The turbo car is on the left. The NA wheel donor is on the right.

 

One more to kill your bandwidth. I finally found a pic of the donor car. I can't keep a secret at all. LOL!

 

those two cars look exactly the same except the muffler

 

95-96 turbo cars all have a factory silver stripe around the bottom. 97-99's do not.

The exhaust is the tell-tale sign of what the car is. On all turbo DSMs... One pipe for NA, Two for Turbocharged. Now you can pick and choose your battles.

The only exception to the rule is the non-turbo Spyder models. The convertibles have 2 pipes regardless because their NA version is a 2.4L SOHC, and they need a little more pipe than the NA because of their added displacement... but the turbo '96 spyders still have that silver stripe.

...oh yeah... and 95-96 turbo cars all had the heaviest-gayest 16" wheels ever on any sports car. "turbo swirlies" as most call them when not using expletives.
