Inspired by 992mmx3's post about his old pics, I though what we should do is post a pic of your car when you 1st got it (if you have 1), and what it looks like now. Also include how long it took you (basically how long you've owned your car) Also lets not make the pics HUGE, if the picture is big, link to it, dont post it. <p>I'll start it off...<p>This is in late 1998 when Ive had my RS afew months.
;)

Here is my car few months after I got it. I tinted the windows almost right away. Look at that ugly black striping all over the side

Ok these might be kinda big so I'll just put the links.<p>Before in spring of 2001:<p>http://www.msu.edu/~leonar40/car/car1.jpg<p>After in spring of 2003:<p>http://www.msu.edu/~leonar40/car/side.jpg<p>I started around Feb. of 2003, so it took me about 5 months and about $1700. I did nearly all the work myself, so that saved a lot of money.

Thats one nice paint-job, Mx-3 Quebec :)
I really, really like it and the engine compartment also look a lot better now.
In fact I took a look at your homepage an decided that I liked the hole of your car (nice seats, man!), with one exception: Either you need bigger wheels or you need to lower it or both :)
The gab between the whells and the body takes some of the sporty look away from the car.
