If you could make a little door in the mesh and plasti-dip/paint the tooth red so it peaks out just a little behind the mesh, I think that would be SICK! I love subtlies like that! :)

I don't think the mesh will be in front of the "tooth"
It sticks out too much.:shakes head:
However, i may be able to put the real red/black carbon on the face of it;)

Love that! It might be fun to find a way to form the mesh so it clears the tooth though. :stirthepot:

Luciano13 04-01-2014 02:13 PM

I'll take a look at that idea.
The problem i see making that look good is that its almost a 6" difference:icon14:

Next up.... Carbon fiber side skirts:tup:

Luciano13 04-06-2014 04:02 PM

finally got the CF sides skirts installed today after having them over 4 month:rofl2:

Im not going with the diamond black mesh....its too weak looking for what I did. im going to get an OEM front grille from another make and custom fit it inside. That should be in Tuesday or Wednesday.

Once I get that installed, I'll clean her up good and take some pics.:tup:

She's so filthy:shakes head:

Luciano13 04-10-2014 06:38 PM

Man OH maN:icon14:
Broke my left foot today at work:eek::shakes head:
I know, it doesn't seem like much....however, I do not own an automatic:barf:
What does this mean????
I will not be able to drive my car for at least 3-4 weeks due to the clutch:facepalm::wtf:
Just as I was about to make its first reveal this weekend......

jofro6 04-10-2014 06:42 PM

that sux that you broke your foot man. Luckily they heal pretty fast.

and btw, did you go and buy the same lip again that you sold me previously haha

:icon18: yes brother:rofl2: I ended up going back to my original taste lol.
I felt with the carbon mods that I was actually capable of doing to the inside of the "mouth" the SR lip was truly the best complimenting lip to be along side of the inner real carbon fiber wrap around I made.
Pics hide very much. but I did make a real carbon fiber mold to go all around the inside of the mouth. In person its simply wicked A$$ looking:tup:

Like with most things in life, first gut instinct is usually the right one lol Sounds like thats some wild work you did with this one though. Ill have to be on the look out when you get some more pics up of it.

I know your pain with the 4 month wait though, im just installing your lip this weekend with a new spoiler lol Didnt want to put it on right before winter just to sit outside for months straight.

GaleForce 04-10-2014 07:42 PM

Wow! I hope you heal up quickly.

LMBmikeZ 04-10-2014 08:27 PM

Ouch! sorry to hear

To honest.... I believe it was from jumping over a trench at work...... The first day my legs were soar, the next day my toe felt like it needed to be "cracked" the third day, which is today...... I couldn't walk on it. Came home to take off my boot to find my left foot twice the siZe of my right:shakes head:
Doctor sayZ she'Z broken:roflpuke2:

DatsunFTW 04-10-2014 08:51 PM

hate broken legs... I broke mine before I bought the Z though but it takes you away from doing a lot of things... You're lucky it's only 5-6 weeks... When I broke my ankle it was 10-12 weeks.

Good luck mate. hope you heal sooner and better!

:eek: damn one of those lingering injuries where it just doesn't get better…..

I was thinking you dropped a pipe or something on the bridge of your foot. You said you were a fitter right?

That's correct. Fire systems pipe fitter. Not sure 100% how it happened. On sites you hit your feet, hands, elbow, head(hard hat) on so many things you forget what could happen down the road:shakes head:

For sure!!! That's about 4 weeks away. If worse comes to worse, I'll at least make it to the local meet up point for a coffee before the club starts the journey:tup:

Luciano13 04-18-2014 07:42 PM

On my 3rd front grille..... I am not having any luck with these concepts that i like.:shakes head:
U would think something so simple as a grille, would be so easy:roflpuke2:
Gonna have to start from the beginning and pull the bumper off, again:icon14:

haha Sorry man. Ive been waiting forever to get it painted like this, especially since no one has it. We will end up with twin cars though cause ill be getting those same sideskirts as you, painted like the lip. All red with just the bottom carbon left all the way around.
