Also figured out why I had some fender rub on the left rear. Major toe in. I guess I should fix that before I do a roll so I do it in the right spot.

Probably going to paint on Saturday although I still haven't decided on a color yet. I change my mind every day.

 

Yea just the roof itself does weigh a ton.

 

yes seriously. get everything fitted awesome, and THEN worry about paint/prep. you prepping the car right now just means you will have to re-prep the car again fully once you're ready to spray

 

My toe was corrected with 1/4 turn of a ratchet and fenders taken care of via jack handle. Probably took 30 min at the most. Went to get paint yada yada yada I got it cheap with free pearl added. More on that later too tired.

 

my shaved bay. although i dont drift i love the culture!

 

goddamn thats pink lol. awesome ****.

 

You're my hero !

 

your upper intake manifold looks like someone jizzed on-top of it. ran out of paint or is it meant to be like that?

looks like it should be fast though when its done. props for shaving it all.

 

What do you guys think, white enough? Or could it be brighter? You guys tell me. I also got a pint of pearl topcoat with hella flake in it. My shitty phone camera and no sun won't cathc the flake so I'll wait for a sunny day to take the pic of it.

 

lol it kinda is. its powder coated and its a PITA to take off. i began stripping it and was like welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll fck that. im porting it and shaving all the emissions off that and welding the holes instead of block off plates. its now completely stripped an will be pc hot pink once again!

 

Wanted to do something like these 2, but different...

I'm a huge RWB fan


I just wanted to do a beige and add a hint of yellow... it came out light yellow lol. I think the guy at the paint store mixed up his math a little because the sample he showed me wasn't as yellow but he hooked me up with free pearl (which you can hardly see on the car? maybe because its single stage?) and a discount. After the first coat went on I was about to take a DA to the whole car but my friends assured me it would look much better once we took all the newspaper & tape off. All in all I can't complain I think it looks much better than before. It still needs wet sanded and buffed. My buddy did a good job spraying the car it went on smooth. Color has been growing on me the past few days.



I think it will look better when the rear glass is re-tinted 5% like the side windows and the wing and mirrors are going to be gloss black.

 

mine are welded too. so much smoother looking.

 

More pictures...









btw my sunroof didn't leak at all when I washed it down with a hose and soap before I removed it to paint.

 

cant really see the glitter/pearl to it but it is what it is

i gotta get clear for it but **** looks hot in the sun.

 

Needs more black IMO. Like the headlight surrounds. Maybe do the moulding/trim in black.

 

Tiny dimples...

None the less its stronger. Can u post sum pics of the tubing in the back? The ones going to the strut tower

 

Ballin'

 

I was thinking the same thing... I forgot to put the headlights down... at least I remembered to tape the lights off I'll probably pull the surrounds off and paint them black again. Black trim would probably look good too. Was thinking about doing the hood black again? Not sure yet, I'm wet sanding and buffing tomorrow. At this point I just want to drive.

 

iani those wheels are looking good. Was thinking about painting my gold wheels purple, pink, powder blue... just something to contrast more.

 

i used the metalcast **** with the clear effects. turned out pretty nice. one side will be that purple/fuchsia color and the other metalcast green or red. i have a set of gold lugnuts as well just for the hell of it. all this **** should look douchey on a black car

 

So I picked up a set of S5 mouldings. They're black an in pretty good shape. So instead of painting them white I was thinking of painting the bumper trim black so it would kinda be an S5.4.

Car is white with black wheels so I think the black trim might work. Thoughts/Suggestions?

 

dont do it.

 

You're the only one to say that. Why?

 

do it. just cause i wanna see it

 

This is a custom color made for this chick that I painted her Grids
