My whip - PDX style...

[Cadeez]

Here's a few pics of my ride. Pics are sort of a progression I suppose, figured I'd start a thread for all to see, if not just for myself to refer to from time to time.

Pics sent to me by the PO presale, I purchased it out of town about 3 hours north in Tacoma, WA.








After it's first wash upon arriving at home, yes I washed it in the rain...



Adding a few mods, improving the cosmetics, etc...

Jeff, you should integrate these photos into your projects thread. Would be a good thing.

By the way, car looks great.

[Cadeez]

You think? I guess I assumed it was more of a vehicle progression "photo gallery" than a project thread, but you're the boss!

Car looks delicious. Vote #2 for project thread. I think moar is coming...

Droid! Srs Legitness!

[Cadeez]

Fine! Haha, so how do I move it there? Or can one of you two fine gents do that for me? Thanks Dane, and you're right, there will be more to come in the very near future.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Jeff, let me clarify. Feel free to leave them here. But make sure these photos also make it to the project thread. Definitely a good place for them.

[Cadeez]

Oh okay gotcha, copy that boss. I had actually planned to do a real project thread outlining each mod I did with pics and a little bit about each one. Might be a boring read because they're all pretty simple, but it might just help someone out. When I get some more time and all the pics taken/downloaded I'll write it up in the Projects thread for sure.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Cool. And, yeah, I imagine these project threads do help people out. I see guests (coming from Google) hitting these threads. So, they're getting something out of them. Plus, the projects forum is one of my favorite parts of the site. (New members forum is probably my favorite.)
