planned mods? i don't like to talk about them until they actually happen *wink* fwiw, i *am* trying to work on updating my gallery/blog and mods in between work, classes, and that pesky thesis thing...
Just bought an Oct. 2006-build MC with Pure Silver body, roof & mirrors.
At first I wanted a darker color, but two cars ago I had a 2002 VW GTi 1.8T in Reflex Silver (VW's Pure Silver equivalent). I'd also had it chipped, intaked, cat-backed, gauged, [insert fake verb here], etc. ... and I ate Boxsters, RSXs, early WRXs and others for lunch AND dinner. AND I got 25 mpg doing it.
Besides, German auto paint is second to none, especially VW/Audi and BMW paint. Especially silver. Silver's got great resale value, too ... and it doesn't look dirty when it's dirty! Heh!
