Ya, I'm hummed & hawed about it for a while. I had some paint left over from the gold calipers on my silver '2, so that made the decision a little easier.

I think the blue '2 once belonged to PizzaMR2, and then was sold to whomever owned it in that pic. I don't think I've seen it since.

Trying to quiet things down for autox since I'm right on the limit for noise. Looks hilarious too;

That whole noise thing makes me crazy. Seriously. People choose to live near an airport and also complain that people are street racing, but they can't deal with a few days with some cars that you can barely hear over the drones of airplanes landing and taking off. People need a goddamn place to go and race, but there are always these ignorant fools making it difficult and nobody wants it in "their backyard". Endlessly frustrating.
