I agree it looks to be lacking a little something, and I think they would be the perfect finishing touch. But you have to shave the "G" and "T" letters off and replace them with "SS" biggrin.gif

^ thats an awesome idea. Yeah, the gt-four splitters just look that more agressive.

I definitely will shave GT-four letters. Hope Wolf (if reading this post) is proud of me now wink.gif.

What I have been thinking is just move that SS-III sticker I have on spoiler (cuz I have SS-III emblem on hatch as well)...



...or create mixture of stickers below wink.gif





What you think?

you'd definitely be the first guy who can pull it off. but whether or not you do the ss-four badge, some spoiler blocks will really complete the look. or maybe even a trd spoiler?
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

hey martin, i still have both sets of SS-III spoiler block lettering you sold me over a year ago that haven't been used and i have no use for them anymore.. let me know if you want them.

but anyway, i think mixing the SS and the Four lettering together would look great with your setup.

Finally are raisers shaved (yes gt-four letters are gone) and painted so I will be able to put them on this weekend smile.gif. Hope everything will go fine and I will be able to post pics in two days smile.gif

NIce car, I like the look so much...I have decided to do it! I know i need the entire GT4 hood (easy). I need the gt4 Bumper cover and what other parts? If you could tell me that would be oh so helpful. I want to get the parts ordered. Thanks and great build. Your car is the definite direction im going with my converitible. Ive just about got it to SS-III look, so getting the hood and bumper would be a nice finish. I showed your car to the body shop today and they gave me a good price for the work. Let me know.

Just few quick shots (by cell phone and car is dirty) to show how it looks with raiser blocks smile.gif. I have not moved SS-III sticker so far (had not much time this weekend to make it perfect kindasad.gif). Next time will be better I promise smile.gif

To azian_advanced: Thank you Gerald. I believe this is really 100% design I have planned. Just small details like SS-III sticker move (btw. let's see how hard is reuse that one I have and let you know about that you have offered smile.gif) and maybe side visors I would like to have... but it's really small almost invisible change smile.gif
To an02: I have dropped it as low as I can wink.gif see this topic for more details.
To j0e_p3t: Thanks and you are right about those 100% smile.gif

Not true at all. Only some 98 models (sold for about 6-8months) had TOM'S lip. Common SS-III had only splitters in front... see those SS-III for sale:

http://www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=1005299
http://www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=979357

and those last two ones in that list above are even in "blue mica metallic" color (I have "dark blue mica metallic" btw. wink.gif ). And exactly and this look was my aim (till 2007)...





...this year I have decided for change and this is all about in this topic wink.gif

Just to make things clear that SS-III badge belongs to front grille but I have used it on rear hatch wink.gif

lol no chance mate... If I changed that it would be something like this:

...so I would offer only GT-III biggrin.gif (or GT-II if you remove one I wink.gif) emblem

btw.: I have removed that one I had so now I'm "emplem-less on spoiler" smile.gif. It's easy to remove and reuse again! Only double side tape needed to renew that adhesive side of emblem...
