RE: PLEASE DO NOT POST IN HERE YET!
No freaking clue what its called. I KNOW its not the Laser RED. I think its only 99-00 GT's. Heres a PIC of my car. Its REALLY cloudy out and looks alot darker than it really is. I do not have in pics of it in the right light, but I know exactly what you are talking about. MAN I MISS THAT CAR!
PS. look closely at the rear bumper. Its not the same color. alittle off. Hard to tell when cloudy, but it looks ****ty on a nice bright day.

Is that a new alternator??? Did yours crap out on you, or did you just upgrade? How many miles on the ride?
Nice rims.

Nice rims.
The alternator took a dump like a week after the blower went on. I think it was probably on the way out, and the tension with the blower belt sideloading it sent it over the edge. It was the stock replacement one from autozone or wherever (maybe orielys).
Freaked me OUT. I let my friend drive the car, and as soon as he goes to start we hear this HORRID sound, metal grinding on metal. I thought it was the blower at first, but after we got a flashlight we found metal shavings underneath the alternator
Completely fried the bearing. But I sure was glad the vortech didn't run out of oil

I know how it is. I didn't get my garage cleaned out in time before the first snow hit. My car is sitting outside with a good 3 inches of snow on it.
The roads have like 348058934 inches of salt on them, it's incredible how much they are using here. Next week it should be in the high 40's so I'll get the car washed and get it into my garage. I bought a PC buffer and I'll be getting rid of all my ugly swirl marks, taking the the front bumper/mirrors off for paint and re-applying the 3m paint protection film on my GFX. I also might buy a S281 wing.
I never liked your black stripes on the hood, but with your black chin spoiler & rear spoiler now, I actually like the hood strips a LOT now. Really ties in with the rest of the car & your wheels.
It's too bad you can't put a true deep dish on the fronts either.
