I wanted to see how my car would look in black before I painted it. I think I like it











Go for it!!

The black looks really nice and sleek. And, I love those deep dish rear wheels. What offset are those?

And, thanks for the info on how to change the color. I was always wondering how to do that. That last picture, is that really your car that you added a few touches to? If so, how'd you do the wing, louvers, and scoop?

Oh my god. That black looks wonderful on the widebody. Everytime I see a really great looking black FB it makes me want to go black on one of my FB's as well, but then I see all the ones that are faded and what have you and think about how bad it looks. I say do it. That black looks amazing.

1.The last picture is a race car from sweeden I think.



2.The rear wheels are 17x12 4-1/2" backspace

I think the black would look great with the black and silver Interior.The only thing holding me back is that I'm going to have to pull the angine to paint the bay

I used to have a video of that racecar on my myspace a while back. It was racing a bunch of other hardcore racecars.

Ah, yes, I remember that car now. Boy, a widebody kit really makes the choice of colors a lot easier to choose from. I was wanting my FB to be painted '07 Porsche 997 silver ( http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/.../photo_05.html ) but after messing with PhotoShop, I'm thinking that the stock body without a widebody kit wouldn't look so good with that paint job. I can't think of any other color that would look right on it, tho.


And, I'd say the interior matches perfectly with that black, along with the rims.

Wow, the black looks like something i've never seen before! *scratches head, and looks into the garage....*

But seriously I love the look of black, only problem with it, EVERYTHING SHOWS! Any minor scratch or anything, but beyond that its awesome!

Now just photoshop the centers of the CCW's black, and thats the look im going for with my car!

Hey Alex, I'm Going to try and make the next meet when I get back to Miami in 2 weeks. I'm getting the bullet cam and mount it next to the fog light "Getaway in Stockholm style"

Did you setup your new cameras in your car?

Dan, I might do the black on the CCW's but only when I get bored of the polished look. Not bored yet.

Your's would make the 3rd black widebody. Since mine is a matte black urethane paint, I don't worry much about scratches, dirt, etc.. If it was a gloss black, it would drive me nuts trying to keep it clean.

One of these days it will go with a different color, but I may stay with the matte look and add a metalflake.

I love the black on your rex...I take it you got all that sunroof tunnel rust all fixed as well?

Most of it, but It still needs some work. I've been in NYC for 3 months, so I've had no time to work on the car. I'll be back in 2 weeks though

Thanks for all the advice on the rust removal.

Lee Lyons

no prob have fun in NYC...I had some good times when I was there!!
