Have you ever tried photoshopping the bottom orange? Not sure what the inside looks like, maybe two tone the seats...Find some white lettered Nascar tires if thats even possible since theya re discontinued. It is nice now so what can I say..

I don't think doing the bottom orange would look good at all. Too much. Keep the outside to the rally stripes. I would consider either some performance upgrades or interior.

I dont know if Painting the underside is what I was thinking, However..white would look good...But It would be a nightmare to keep clean.

I agree orange underneath would be to much orange...I was more thinking along the lines of Pipes,control arms, Hangers, Drive shaft etc...Basically Hardware...Like plateing or powder coating different hardware..

I was thinking of white leather seats with orange trim. But like Dave said, it would be too hard to keep clean. And I seem to remember someone else doing that exact thing.

Oh yeah... What ever you do, DON'T paint your dash orange.

Mel, I saw your post in the other thread about lowering; good call. Lowering will improve your torque steer, as well as lessen body roll, brake dive, and launch squats. The car will grab and handle the road much better. I love how mine feels. Front tires seem to have more traction on hard accelerations due to less weight transfer. Definitely a performance upgrade in my book. Plus, it gives the car a great stance.
