hey guys... i just got my car out of the shop today and im soo excited i just wanted to share and wanted some of your opinions. i had the shop spray the roof, grille and rear bumper lower (diffuser) area gloss black, i also made my self a set of eyelids for free using a nose for a streetbike.. the shaping could be a little better i guess but its good for now! simple but nice.. (be gentle lol )

 

i like it.

the whole red and black combo really contrasts well. nice job!

did you paint the diffuser? or aftermarket part?

 

thank you.. i had the shop paint the rear bumper and the roof.. i was thinking about the vinyle but the shop truly hooked me up and i coudln't resist..

 

Tenzo Type M wheels?

 

i like all the painted work. great color scheme goin on. not diggin the headlights though. i feel it ruins the unique eyedrop look our stocks have and kind of cheapens it. but the color scheme is sick!

 

lol yea man.. i love em.. they do the job for me.. plus i don't have over 3k to spend on the real wheels that i want (volks te30s) lol.. these will have to do for now lol

 

when i put the eyelids on im still 50/50.. i mean i like them cause i did them myself so theres a small sense of accomplishemnt lol.. the good thing is that its just doublesided taped on and if iwanted to i can take them off anytime.. maybe they'll gro on me .. thanks man ... im tryin to catch up to some of the big dogs on this site hahah

 

Word on the wheels. I wasn't knocking your taste or anything man, so I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. I just couldn't tell the design of the wheels in the angles of the pictures at all.

If you do intend on removing the eyelids in the future, I would suggest taking a razor blade or something and cutting the adhesive first... then take a heat gun to the headlight lens and use that to melt away the tape's adhesive. Polish it up and then your headlights will be unharmed!

 

NO NO..i didin't take it in a wrong way lol.. its all good.. maybe ond day i can afford an upgrade but in all honesty its not that serious to me.. im not a racer i barely drive the car.. i know alot of pple here take their wheels really serious .. but sh*t i got bills to pay hahah..
hopefully i can get my hands on some 06 projectors.. thats my ultimate goal with the headlights..

 

looks good where in jersey do you live??

 

thanks bro.. i see your from hawthorne.. im up in the lodi area...

 

It all looks very nice. I'm on the fence regarding the the eyelids, but they do look well done.

 

thanks man... im still on the fence too to be honest with you lol.... its up in the air..

 

Very nice bro.... Props!!! Ive been debating on painting my roof black.... I have an ip i dont want to ruin the ip color and make it look like a scion tc

 

thanks.. yea man i know i read alot about that with people using the tc for reference.. i just think it gives a nice clean look with the sunroof.. and plus benzes are doing it too! i just think it looks nice with 2 doors.. and with the IP it will look sick especially if your all tinted out.. besides the LR.. the IP is my second fav color .. i say go for it
