wont touch the headlights since they cost me an arm and a leg....they will be going in for new updates here soon so I may see if he can re-paint them to gloss black.

 

looks good

 

Your car looks awesome man. I'm always happy to see another Texan doing it the right way. Very clean car.

The wingless trunk looks so much better. I always wondered why I never switched to a wingless trunk sooner.

 

I just need to pick up your rims next!! I love the look of them in the rolling shot!

 

glad to see your modding the car again?
you gonna get those LED mirrors again? lemme know if you are i want a pair too! lol

 

Hah, thanks man! Your car is clean man. How much did you pick up that hood for and how is the fitment? And where did you get it from? I was considering a hood like that as well, painted exactly like that too.

I was just considering of selling these and switching out to some SSR's MS1's or some Gnosis... but I keep changing my mind since I don't want to wait another 4 months for some facking wheels.

 

DDDDDDDDDDD DAMMNNNN!!!!!

Its the best your car has ever looked!

 

must say guy .. very clean car...

 

Very good looking G. What are your offsets?

 

offsets are actually very bad on these wheels....+30 all around..I have on a 15mm front and rear

 

thanks! yes I am glad I am too!! I was looking at them again....I know scootch told me that they have some more..they are not making them anymore but he has some more.


hood was 300 picked up...fitment is actually really good! I got it from a member in Houston.

if you end up wanting to sell them...I may be interested depening on price...if you were intersted in the gnosis..

I have been eyeballing these because they are local if they are still for sale.

thanks bud!

thanks dave!! need some bad *** photos from you! rolling shots would be good!

 

looks great def a badass job by stephen

 

Wow, picked up in Houston, huh? I wonder who it was... probably haven't seen them around the city.

I think those Gnosis wheels sold awhile back. The guy had a thread in the MarketPlace for awhile and I think that's where he sold them though.

Heh, lets not get hasty here. I just got my T1S and I've only thought about selling them because after I ordered them, I realized how many people on this forum had them... but I still love my wheels... don't get me wrong. There is a reason why people have them, they look fkn good.

But I have been looking at the Gnosis GS1's and the GS4's in step-lip, offsets probably at 0 or -5 all around. Same with the SSR MS1's, same set up with the step-lip and offset.

If I do decide to finally sell the T1S, I will definitely let you know.

 

Overall, you know I love the build.. Love the Desert Platinum/ Gloss black theme you're rockin w/.. You're doing it well and in logical spots..

I think something needs to be revisited w/ the strategy of the painting of the vents of the hood.. The logic is sound of why you did just the first 2 vents (line wouldn't be straight on the top most vent), but maybe a gradient could be done for the top vent? Because when you look at it from either side, you can see the line going up on one side, but not the other, so that makes it look like a pair of closing quotation marks to me.. (call me a grammar nerd if you want, just my opinion)..


Honestly, I was a fan of the spoiler look for your car.. W/ the large vents in the front from the Karuma Z, and now on the hood, and staggered looking wheels (I know they're the same width), I think a spoiler adds a level of balance to your build (having something interesting to look at in the front as well as the rear (along w/ the diffuser and Ti tips). I think maybe if you had your smooth finished OEM hood, the spoilerless look would have worked, because it was smooth and undisturbed in the rear as well.. But now, it looks like it needs "something". OOOOO.. maybe some tint in the tails.. THAT'd be dope..

Once again.. just my honest opinion.. (I also like the lights how you have them.. Black housings would be too much black in the front, would look like a panda bear)

*****Amazing job on the paint and fitment as usual R1.. Work is top notch.. I don't think people realize how fast you turned a WHOLE car around basically.. From start to photoshoot ready in a week.. That's CRAZY!!! I'll be coming your way when you finish that HUGE group buy w/ my hood.. Decided to not do the trunk.
