holy crap

 

looks nice, see if you can get a pic inside the engine

 

I will get one tomorrow of it in the engine bay.

 

Can anyone say *bling bling* they look really dam nice. Good Work.

 

 

Im blinded by those!

 

Those are nice brother, but damn, try keeping those ***** clean!

 

I'll ask the stupid question.....What did you use to do that.( personally it is too much for me) but I'm impressed that you can get the stock shrouds and fans to look like that.

Nice work!!

 

thoes fans will look sick when there turned on

 

I did the same thing...went with all black though. Looks good

 

Building a show car?

 

through a process called "vacuum metallizing"
,and some Krylon plastic " Fusion " paint on the blades.

Now that's what I call DETAILING! Nice work. Excuse me while I put my sun glasses on to avoid the glare...

You should wire up a few mini leds in the frame to bounce some light off the blades. Really.

 

??? they're just fans... i dont see the point... i alwaays found chromed plastic to be kinda tacky. i think the color that you used on the blades would be good for the whole thing... i dont like shiny/plished things that much, but thats just me.

 

BLing!!

i like it alot.. good job!!

 

You mean like one of these?

 

My fans are one of the first things you see when you open the hood now that I have a FMIC. Because of this I wanted them to look nice. Trust me, if they were still located in the stock location I wouldnt have touched them.

 

Fan shroud in. Engine almost complete. Just waiting for some parts to come back from being polished/chromed

 

dude, i love it. so awesome. i gotta ask ya one thing, and this is for everybody, when you put on a kit, how do you decide whether to mold it in or not. jsut wondering. i think they look killer molded on, just wondering why some don't. hopefully i don't sound like a dick, i don't mean to, jsut wondering...

 

This may not be the case for Donny but this is why I in the past didn't mold my kits.


If you compete in shows, it depends a lot. Molded kits and lots of bodywork qualify a car to be in the "wild" classes. Non-molded kits and almost stock bodies get put into the "mild" classes. There are advantages to both as well as negatives.


This is why the show crowd doesn't always mold kits.

 

cool, thanx, that's where i want to be some day, in shows, so that's good info man!! probably have3 to run with really big guys in the wild class? sorry to borrow the thread...

 

im beggin you! pick me up from school!!!!

 

Very good question, actually.
Molded does look very good, if done properly of course. I seriously thought about molding my side skirts into the body and front fenders, however, think about this. If the FENDERS ever had to be removed you will now have to cut loose the molded in ground effects/side skirts just to remove the fender. That alone would turn a relatively simple job into hell. Major work and paint. This would be fine for cars never seeing the road, but a car that is seeing street time on a regular basis, in my mind, would be a bad idea. Alot of flexing, I believe, could cause the seams to crack. IMO. I would leave that molded look to strictly show cars.

 

Also, if you buy quality skirts, etc.. the fitment is very good and if installed properly will give you a very clean look. My side skirts are Apexi, which were a very good fitment. I had to do very little trimming. Also, always fit the body kits onto the car, BEFORE PAINT, actually get them mounted/installed, where you want them. This way if any sanding or cutting does have to be done, you wont ruin any fresh paint.
