I added a flattening agent to the clear coat on the dash , I didnt want to be blinded by the reflection on the window.

Looks good.

I have a custom white interior as well. It is all done in pleather though. When I bought the car there was a lot of white on the dash area. I had to get rid of that. it was blinding on the eyes.

Maybe it is just me, but wont the white dash really reflect in your windshield when you drive compared to a dark one? I remember putting a piece of paper on my dash once on a sunny day and its reflection in the windshield was VERY annoying. Maybe it was because it was a white piece of paper on a dark dash, but let me know what you think when you drive your 7 again.

Thanks

reminds me of the import scene of 98-2000, so i can understand the styling.

Not feeling the molded in kit though, i think a good show car build would be awesome with all perfectly fitting body panals. molded in stuff is just a cheap cure for crap fitting parts.

Molded on kit is something the beginners cant comprehend. Takes lots of skill and knowledge to create body lines that didnt exist, and flow with the stock body lines like it was from the factory...

My kit is actually a legit GP SPORTZ KIT , heres how it looked wen it wasnt molded....

heres what i started with,

I have been working on this car for lil bit over 8 months now, dont have much free time. I will drive this car on weekends and only when its nice out and no rain.

Dont even try to say .. oh ur kit gonna crack from vibrations , blah blah blah.. Like i said not for the beginners. Kit was molded on using resin and a catalyst hardner and couple of fiberglass layers of mating.

i think it looks stupid with the black carpet. now if you replaced it will some white carpet, painted the rest of it white, including seats, that would be badass

My car is on jack stands in the front and the rear is jacked up so i could get access to the wheel well. The rims are as good as gone, I orderd a set of AME SHALLEN CX from auto rnd, takes 3 months to get ,

the rims are hot!

but im not sure those rims are enough to save this car with the molded kit and interior.
at least you coulda sold your real GP sports kit and bought a fakie to mold in and still had left over money. Looks like your kit fit perfect too no flaws.

dude this was alreadysick,, imagine just dropped on your new AMEs woulda been sexy


was the car flat white? was it spray caned? im somewhat interested how it was done
