Goodbye DD, Hello Old Friend
WELP,
I had been driving a '13 Hyudai Veloster Turbo for the past few years as my commute started to suck (bumper to bumper for ~1.5 hrs), but now that I moved closer to work, its 15 minutes (70% highway, 30% surface streets)
So I thought, why not save the ~$400 payment and start driving the WS6 again?
it had been in storage since '12 the last time the opti took a dump on me and I didnt have time to fix it, so I got it going, and had the AC fixed and its running pretty good, it shutters off idle and still throws the CES light after a while, but overall pretty good.

that picture is like 2 years old, but basically how the car looks now, just the clear has peeled off the roof, and the upper parts of the doors

Others will probably disagree but those white letters look awesome.
Breaks up the black a little

funny story about those, so when I first moved back to Texas, I left the car at my parents house while my wife and I were in an apartment waiting for our house to sell.
So my dad had the plasti dip and the tire paint, because he did the wheels/tires on his old chevy pickup.
I was at work and I get the pictures, I was so mad, I didnt know he plasti dipped the wheels, so I thought he just spray painted them. And at first I hated the white letters, I thought it looked really ricer
But when we went to visit one long weekend, I checked it out and drove it, it really grew on me, in real life it just looks mean, straight out of Madmax or something.
Anyways. haha97 Trans Am WS6, LT1 factory 4bolt freak, M6,

I agree, I actually like the white letters. Thought about doing it on my car.
