G35papas is sexy haha, Im thinking Ill do them up black as well, might try to do emblemless grill too since my OEM one is essentially a spare

 

I vote for black

 

^Good!

When I saw the first post and spotted the Nismo decals on the stock 17's, I was all cocked and ready to flame-on




As for your headlight question, do them black.

I'm in the process of doing the same right now.
Also, when you do your emblem, make sure you mask it off properly. It will look terrible if you do the entire thing in IP.

 

Yeah haha, its kind of an embarassing pic...I havent gotten a chance to snap new pics, and your grill looks amazing, I still havent decided if I am going to try for emblemless or what you have done, if I go down the emblem route I hope it comes out as nice as yours did, what paints did you use?

 

why no halos?

 

Im not sure why nobody is feeling halos, theyd be nice as DRLs (I live in Canada) I saw a DIY on making them DRLs and itd be easy since Im already popping the headlights open

 

Halos - Rice
Nismo stickers on stock wheels - Rice
Billet Grill - Ugly
Paiting little stock brakes red - Rice
Riding higer than my SUV- Gay
Unmatched sideskirts - Ugly

Really your headlights are the last think I would be worried about.

 

-They are not nearly bright enough for DRLs, unless you buy LED halos (most people just buy the crappy regular CCFL ones).

-They looks cheap and crappy 90% when retro fitted on a car they dont belong.

-They frequently overheat or just break. Then you see cars with one halo because the owner is too lazy to reopen a headlight and fix it.

 

All these things are changing, it takes time and money, I am a first year engineer student so I dont have either. Thanks though

 

Thanks for the compliment

I used Valspar paint. (actually, do a an advanced search for valspar and my username, you'll get all my posts on the grill)

The paint you use is less important than the prep and care in painting.

 

black for sure

 

An engineer um; you can have it both ways white and build them pods retractable to black. LOL

 

already have the designs just gotta outsource it to China

 

yeh, but don't you think they will come back "rice" for sure! Dont forget, specify black on one side. lol

 

But at least I didnt waste money on non functional fender vents, and an obnoxious bumper right?
