I imagine the styling is relatively controversial, but I think she looks alright.
Just finished getting bigger wheels to make her look more balanced. Now I'm probably going to think towards upgrading the interior a little bit. I don't want to go *too* overboard haha.

Nah, we've had worse.
Are you starting a thread or is this just a show picture?

I still have a soft spot for the Lambo doors...
You may see a little hate, but screw those guys...
If that was mine, I would go a Tan leather interior for seats, dash doors and all plastic parts there off. And a light tan suede roof and carpet..
But that is just me...

Was going to do it to Bobby ... But the Evo/GSR is already the project car.. + the bike, and the Swift ... Just not practical to have another FTO ... But maybe one day ... Will see how it goes... I do miss the FTO, and since Long (FRE55H) sold his, I haven't been in one in ages...

Not the practicality of the car... The practicality of having so many cars, and no where to store them .. Plus all the rego's add up ... With what I pay for Rego's at the moment, I am already buying an FTO every year..

Yeah Rego prices in Australia are fucked. In the states it's like what $50 bucks rego and $700/yr for liability with green slip included. Such a rip off, insurance companies xD

$75 for three months rego here, and that's dropping by around $15-$20 in July
No insurance required here though, which is kind of scary, and comprehensive is around $1100 for a year.
So not quite as bad as Aus...

$300 or so for a year of rego, $700 greenslip, and I pay $700 for 3rd party fire and theft insurance a year. Comprehensive would leave me limping lol.

How much is the vinyl wrap costing you?
Re: Strkszone's '96 GPX

Vinyl by:
3M - $2840 (mine)
Oracle - $2010
Arlon - $2215
Avery Dennison - $2250
Wasn't quoted on Hexis, but they do it
If not wanting the inside door jambs to be done, just exterior -$300 from price (I have scissor doors so
that's why I"m getting them done too)
Ceramic Pro Coating - $400 (if not with wrap, it's $530) / (mine)
Window trims getting repainted - $100 (mine)
All in all $3340. It's also worth noting that I'm getting a few extra features thrown in for free because
they want to enter my car into an Auto Show in Sydney for advertising, so they're doing my wheels ($320 value),
added the Ceramic Pro Coating to the Glass as well. They've taken real good care of me, so quite happy with them.
