I would do "Mike" style taillights with 05/06's if I wasn't so freaking cheap

Got some vinyl samples in and wrapped the side markers. My plan is to wrap the front lip, side skirts and rear splash guards in WHITE CF Vinyl.

Left: 3M 1080 Right: Metro CF 3D


3M:


Metro:


I'm definitely set on the Metro vinyl as it has a yellow hue to it which will match the pearl paint much better than the pure white of the 3M.

It's on the list, Chris! But definitely not on the top! I need to fix all the things I don't like about the car first

Tim, I think I saw some LMGT4s in the marketplace for you

Brakes look great man, I'm waiting on new wheels before I go BBK I can only clear like 13.8 with 18" step lips wheels.

Grant, I like the idea of the sidemarkers and lip but the skirts may be a bit much?

I can't leave the skirts unpainted black and have the lip done though. I have my IP skirts but the paint is all messed up/scratched on them. Maybe i'll see if I can clean them up and polish some scratches out and throw those back on. We'll see how it ends up. But the lip is definitely getting wrapped.

Thanks man but I'll pass on the Nismos. I'm in love with my Gravis 1s.

I didn't even realize that I bought the same brakes Marcus has until someone mentioned it on here, but they were way too good a deal to pass on. I have almost an inch clearance between the wheels and calipers. just another reason to love the design of my wheels.

The Wilwoods are super low profile, offer great clearance so you can squeeze maximum lip size out of your wheels. Hopefully one day I can take advantage of this...hehe.

The sidemarkers were just my test subject. The samples are only 4"x8" so nothing else is small enough to wrap and be able to see the contrast with IP.

Also gotta give Wilwood USA big props. They were very helpful today in helping me order a new bleeder to replace the one we broke. They even directed me to Summit Racing to order it even though they had what I needed in stock because they Summit was cheaper on overnight shipping. I talked to Justin and Dustin at Wilwood, both were great!!
