Seether13's Journal

Seether13 · 09-30-2010, 06:56 AM

OK, so I decided to also start a journal although my mods will be done over time as I have money to spend.

Here is the before pics:

My first mod that is taking place as I post this is the window tinting. I went with the 35% tint.

The next will be this coming weekend when I will cover the bumper fangs with CF vinyl. Wanted to get semi-gloss black, but struggled and decided to do the CF so long and can just change it if I don't like the look.

Nice color CF will go good with it.

I did the bumper today, (not a great job, mind you) but this is what it looks like:

I will be redoing it (someone that actually can do it without any bubbles).

My mags are in for a color change. Will get it back tomorrow. The next thing would be to do the calipers.

OK, here is the results of the mags:

Next is the calipers. And I need to search for new center caps for the mags that will fit better with the new color

I have been on holiday for the past two weeks and took my calipers with me. So we had a holiday "project" and the calipers are now red. Will post pics soon

Nice. Do you know what color that was used? Any close up shots of the wheels?

It is some colour they just mixed for me. As soon as I get my car back I will take close-ups. Busy putting in a new gear set.

Here is some work in progress pics on the calipers:

Very nice, the wheels give it a aggressive yet classy appearance, I am sure the calipers will look awesome with the mods you have done so far, as for the bubbles I a, assuming you are talking about runs in the paint, this happens when you spray too close or spray to much or don't give it ample time between coats, easy fix, just sand and respray from a distance and take a little more time between coats, the fangs look good I can't see any bubbles but I am sure you can
