I'm in college and aint that rich. But i do go to New England Tech for Automotive technology and have the hook up with some paint guys as well. My question is what should i do to her? She's a 94 talon awd. The boy is ok but of course the hood is faded. The interior is already mint. I need some type of project to do to her but will need the car at least every other day so downtime is limited unless of course she is getting painted. I've never been into interior or exterior before my last talon was strickly race. so i am wondering for pictures, photoshops anything really for good idea's. heres what i got so far.....

Drift body kit molded correctly. I've seen it all done half ass, but i can take advantage of my college and make it look nice.
My friend today said lambo doors ( anyone got a pic or photoshop to show him how stupid it would look )
Indiglo guages, egt, autometer tach and speedo, boost, a/f, volt, and temp.

any help is appreciated.
 
I'll shoot you some ideas:
-Shaved Door Handles
-Custom hood, along with a perfect body kit
-Headlight Conversion, to what i don't know
-Some cool back seat config. to make it a 2 seater factory style.
-Custom Tailights
-shaved attenna, rear wiper
-Learn how to fiberglass

There's some ideas
For paint, please no bright colors, i like high gloss black, white, silver, and i love candy red. Since its a talon, leave it with the two-tone black on top style, but maybe change it a bit, incorperate some of the color of the body, with the roof, i dunno, i wish i could photoshop, but i can't.
 
The WRX blue is about at bright as i would want to go. Make sure you have some nice rims, probably black, hyperblack...... to really show them off. Like i said, that blue is pretty bright, and 1g's really don't go well with brighter colors. If you like blue so much, i'll try to find some pics of blue 1gs that i like, and try to find a color to match.
 
Intensa Blue Pearl is a beautiful color on a 1g. I think I know someone that painted there 1g that color.....oh yeah ME :) !
 
Beautiful car man, that is the color blue i was talking about. wow, there ya go man, shoot for something like that.
 
If you want the best colors PERIOD look at a house of kolor chip book, their product is universal with any product they have, there are infinit color combos that would blow your mind...

i did a custom 1g with some air brush work, that was done in a silver base coat, then candy cobalt blue over the silver------bar none the best blue *I* have ever seen
 
teams2n, your car is absolutely georgus. it could be considered ricey, but its beautifull. would u mind telling us how much something like that would cost? (total project)
 
Thanks, I've got about $40,000 invested in this car. I paid $8,000 for the car a few years back, spent about $3,000 in maintanence/fixing stuff, and I've got about $30,000 in customizing it.
 
How could that be considered ricey??? He got a turbo, not a non-turbo, so hes got nothing to be worried about. I don't wanna start a rice fight(LOL), but i don't want this car to be tainted with that term.
 
no i didnt mean ricey i just meant that normally i dont like cars with bodykits or vinyl, if any offense was taken, i didnt mean it. i wasnt using the right term when i said "rice"
