Hard to tell under the plastic but ITS SO CLOSE!

hellova teaser right there

Yeah, sorry for the teaser, my wife snapped that one.

And yes, you're right on the trim idea. Pretty much let them design the paint scheme. Just wanted all sheer black at first but they said it would look unfinished so I turned it over to them. Wish I would of had a CF hatch but no $$ left

RCZ · 01-13-2010, 11:36 PM

OOh thats right he has a Nismo, I forgot for a minute.

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:00 AM

OK, picked up the car tonight, added the carbon fiber sills and engine bay parts. Still a little touch up to do and still needs to go to Amplified tomorrow so they can add the Brembo brakes and coil overs.

These pics are in the dark from my iPHONE, I'll take some nice pics tomorrow. I'm really debating on the gold pinstripe, goes with the wheels but not sure which way to go with it. There's a little bit of a ridge from the gloss to the sheer so it hides it well but I suppose I could go to a black pinstripe instead.

Better pics coming tomorrow once its lowered and brakes are done!!! I'll send all the shout outs to those that helped get her done once its a wrap tomorrow.

Loving it thus far! Can't wait to drive the sh$% out of it now

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:02 AM

These pics look terrible, I'll take some nice ones tomorrow....really looks crazy in person

mick · 01-16-2010, 02:05 AM

wow. your car looks like a batmobile with that paint job !

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:07 AM

Cool, that's what I was looking for. I'm thinking the pinstripe needs to go. Wish I would of known about the Demon Eyes before hand, that would of been cool too. Way too much fender gap, fixing that tomorrow!!!

Trips · 01-16-2010, 02:25 AM

adam! it looks sick......

can't wait to see it in person and as well as yourself,

at the next meet....

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:31 AM

Heck yeah...I'll be there bro, no more travels for awhile. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Couple little blems I need to touch up but at least I have her home. Tell you this, sure drives different with these wheels, feels almost like I dont have power steering. No complaints, I like more front end feel.

Trips · 01-16-2010, 02:37 AM

interesting about your steering,
Did you go with a more aggressive setup? front and rear?

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:42 AM

I think its just that they are a bit wider then stock. Figure I'll see how it feels once the coilovers are installed tomorrow.

What are you thinking about the pinstripe? Looks much more aggressive with it off but does look a little more finished with it on. Really not into the whole bling thing (I don't want to hear any sh$% about the Rovers, wife likes them and they do great in the mountains

)

schrute · 01-16-2010, 02:45 AM

1. Wow!
2. Pinstripe - I wouldn't have voted for Gold in advance (not that you asked LOL) but I don't think it looks half bad with the rims. It sounds like you're not sold on it though, and that's the opinion that matters most.
3. Wow!
4. Those rims are sick. Perfect choice.
5. The hood looks fantastic, really diggin the new look vs. the solid CF
6. Are the JDM tails painted on the inside? Can't wait to see better pics, they look great.
7. Iron Man looks cool, would look cooler with the Demon eye (and you thought you were done haha)
8. Under the hood upgrades look great, red hoses tie in great with the engine cover. Pop that hood at meets for sure!
9. Wow!

Need better pics!

It looks good, the pics don't it justice.

I now it looks cleaner in person..

Don't sweat the background whips.. their cool as well.

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:49 AM

You know what... Couldn't really mod the JDM's internally so I just had him smoke them last minute. Damn things looked WAY too bright with car all blacked out.

Yeah, pinstripe, I'll take nice pics with it off...sorry RAW, waste of time I know but too flashy for me, I want stealth!!!!

I just need to install the carbon pillars and tow hook. Thanks for the props man, as you can tell I'm pretty damn excited. Oh, need to put the black caps on it too but the paint wasn't ready. no biggie...
