2014 GTA Meets

Ire · 02-20-2014, 05:12 PM

for a PW car I'd just repaint everything. if its even a tiny bit off it will be very obvious. if you're going to spend, might as well make everything perfect else it will drive you insane.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
btw anyone down for a headlight modding day when it warms up. i need to black mine out

I haven't decided actually. What would look good with our colour?

Luciano13 · 02-20-2014, 06:45 PM

I need body pARTS in 40th quartz, but if we're doing headlights.... I would be in on doing mine over. 1/4 of my L.E.D.s are burnt out

and change the silver since my rims are now satin black

True, I suppose I'll buy a heat gun to take the wrap off first, because it doesn't peel off easily at all.

If its over $2K for everything, I'm going to seriously consider wrapping it as much as I like my PW.

Quality is always my main priority, but I'm not getting ripped off. I think $2600 is crazy, but I will have to ask around to see if I am right about that. I don't know if it makes a difference that your car is black, but I'm sure it is nowhere close to that figure to get your car painted.

Oh and I am so down to do the headlights, I'm just too scared to tear apart the thing.

EDIT: I'm going to get getting rid of my spare EVO-R red foglight and maybe the OEM one in the summer. I paid $130+ for the EVO-Rs from Jay himself on Ebay a year ago. Give me a reasonable offer

O no man! stay PW!

PW + amuse is sexy! that is the one setup I would go with over my 40th with amuse

stay Pearl White
i told you many times i often wish my car was white.
white is the best colour for the amuse kit because objectively it shows off the curves the best. Its also the easiest to compliment with either black or real CF.
black is just good for that mean look at night. in the day its pug fugly
the only downside to PW is fallout, but its manageable if you dont live downtown.
couple things:
WRAP
a heat gun wont help you take off wrap. there are easier ways to do it. a heat gun might make it even harder if you don't know what you're doing. im currently wrapping a friends car (and unwrapping another one), so i can help you (and it wont cost $2600 lmao)
FOG LIGHT
i already bought the rear fog light. i installed it but im not sure why its not working. i just said fuckit and stored the car. i havent gotten around to checking the wiring. will do so asap.
HEADLIGHTS
2 G35/37 guys are doing thier headlights this summer as soon as we can have a BBQ. They bought osrams and TSX clear lenses (which im kicking myself for not going in with that group buy)... I'll be blacking out my headlights at the same time (either that or making it bronze and smoking the lenses... I've yet to decide)

does anyone know a good way to mount my front plate?
i got another ******* ticket moving the car down the street... ITS LIKE THERE ARE COPS WAITING OUTSIDE MY HOUSE 24/7 FFFFFUUUUUU

white would be my choice too!

as for the front plate you could do something like simota1 did with his, he made a longer bar for the stillen bracket I know the stillen bracket needs to be modified for amuse fronts

Don't get me wrong, I love pearl white, I will never forget the moment when I first saw my car shining in the sun at the dealer all washed up waiting for me. But I wouldn't mind a more extreme colour.

Black looks very nice when it is clean and shiny, my old car was black and my brother's current Genesis is also black.

The main problem is moving the parts, you don't even know how much trouble it was for me to get the bumpers back to my place.

My foglight offer is to any one out there, brand new red EVO-R foglight. I'm looking add a little cash to trade for Evo-R CF B-pillars as well

Luciano13 · 02-21-2014, 05:23 AM

My understanding is the pearl white and 40th quartz are twice the price because of its high quality.
