Here are a few updated pics of my TII.

Paint is Gunmetal Pearl
Wheels are Volk group AVs 17x8 front and 17x9 rear
Tires are BF Goodrich G-Force 225 front and Yokohama AVS ES100 255 rear...








Oh yeah, pics were taken with a Nikon D40X...

I'm still learning how to use it.

 

And a hi res pic of a kitty for good measure!

 

nice 7, those rims look really good on it, which ones are they? Also, nice cat

 

Did you paint the car yourself? Or did you take it to a body shop?

 

That color looks solid on a seven..not sure how I would feel about it on anything else....gunmetal was made for tanks, planes and fast Mazdas.....job well done..lol

 

I actually had Maaco do the paint.

The wheels are Volk group AVs

And the cats name is Socks...she's effing humongous...

 

DYNOmite!

 

how much was it to get a pearl paint job from maaco?

 

Haha...actually it Dyno'd at about 250 rwhp

1200 including door jambs and hatch jambs...

 

wow, that's actually pretty reasonable, looks like they did a nice job too, i always just assumed a pearl paint job was out of my price range, guess not

 

lol..whats cool here..is that I just recently saw someone post a thread and misspell convertible...they spelled it "covertible"...which then lead me to think this whole gunmetal coloring...as well as maybe an illadvised camo type color scheme...when actually put on one's convertible...would make it a covert-ible....lol..yes...its sad I came up with that..lol

 

how much of a difference is there between tornado silver and gunmetal pearl?

 

Hey, I don't know if you know this or not, but your car is really nice.

 

thanks for the compliments! it still needs a lot of work. the new coilovers are goin in this weekend and im currently shopping for a new front bumper, skirts and a rear diffuser. im also waiting on a pair of bride fixed buckets....

many more fotos will be taken as the mods progress.

 

Really? Dang, that looks beautiful! I want to get my FC painted roughly the same color (Steel grey pearl), so this definitely gives me an idea on what it'll look like.

Did you have any dings/dents that they fixed for you? Or did you prep it all and send it to them ready to get shot? Great looking car man!

 

Nah...They did all the prep work and I opted to not fix the dents...

it's a street car...it's gonna get dinged...

I love the color. I almost went black but decided that it would be too much of a pain in the *** to take care of.

 

Bitchin shots Nader
Maybe I'll roll up there and help you with the coilovers

 

Macco painted that!?!?! Wow, it looks really good.
The previous owner sometime before me had my car maccoed and it looks like *** right now, all the paint is chipping off. So, lucky you got a good paint job. It looks badass.

 

the question is not how it looks now, which it does look great, but what about months or years from now?

 

Oh it's gonna look like hell in a few years...I expect it. But the car will eventually be taken off of the street and used for track only so I'm not too concerned with the paint in a few years. I'll just reshoot.

It was painted back in early september and I have yet to have a problem that wasn't my fault. Plus, the paint is warrantied for 2 years against flaking and cracking...

 

damn now that's a nice, clean 7

 

the FC's lookin good Funk.

 

Nice paint 4 real. Good to see tire size's like yours too, I got the same except + 20 offset.

 

^^^ I meant to say same rim sizes...oops.

 

i'm really diggin the color.

reminds me of this...
