Man that burger looks good

I like the red theme you have going. Red roll bar would look mean, in my humble opinion

Yessir, I plan on powdercoating the roll bar next. As soon as I get off my lazy ass and take it off the car. Its kind of a bitch to do

Me and some homies cruised up Angeles Crest. It was my first time up there, very fun.

[Vincent123]

Took a pic of my shift knob



And got some free dress up bolts, so I figured I might as well install them

[rsingh3g]

Looks good man. Are there any plans for the engine bay?

Not much really. Might get a 3 point strut bar in the future and refinish the valve cover. But I think thats about it. Not really looking to boost it anytime soon

[rsingh3g]

Ah ok. I like the plan you got for this car

Gah... I know the wing is for function, but the rest of the car is just so clean! I like what you've done with it man, especially that rear diffuser. Have you considered a front lip? I think that would tie everything in nicely. Just my $0.02.

They dont make front lips for this bumper, only the OEM bumper. But I do plan on making a front splitter with canards once I get some $$$$

The wing has been dropped off to get some custom stands / mounts made so it sits wider and taller. Can't wait til I get it back!

Called my homie up to help with my taillights. Good to have a friend thats a detailer. He helped me sand down the raised letters and polish up the tails with menzerna polish.




Polishing




All done.





Then I decided to take it a step further and give it a frost / matte clear finish using plastidip. I was originally going to get it wrapped but since I already have red vinyl over the amber portion, I didnt want 2 layers of vinyl on my taillights. Was afraid it would bubble. Plus, it was going to cost like $100 when the plastidip cost me $10! WIN

So matte clear plastidip over the tails. Red vinyl over the amber center. Brake light mod so only the center circle lights up, and the sides are now the turn signals.

Roughly 3 layers of matte clear plastidip later, I get this outcome. Very satisfied with the results. Did the third brake light and rear side markers as well. Ill try and get daytime photos, looks much better in the day

Light output is almost the same as well, obviously not AS bright but to the naked eye I cant really tell a difference


No filter.




And with a hipster instagram filter

[rsingh3g]

Interesting. I usually see people make the lights all shiny and stuff, first time I have ever seen it this way

[Nagah]

Hm. That matte makes it look old.

[Vincent123]

Yeah its not everyone's cup of tea. Back when I was in the Lexus scene, alot of the IS / ISF guys used to do it to their tails alot. So thats where I got the idea from.

[rsingh3g]

Well I think after some day time pics it would look better
