but there are no reverse lights now. . . how will people know you are in reverse. . .

 

they will see a car going back lol
its kinda the same thing as tinting your lights really dark you can still see the tail lights
i just gata be really carefull

 

So you're not incorporating rev. lights?

Also whats up with the little raised part in the center on the bottom where the doggy door used to be, did you do that on purpose?

Looks freakin sick though, I have to say great work on that one dude.

 

i just removed the tail lights i dont like them much

yea i left the small gap in the bottom to have grip to open the trunk
i still have to finish it up tomorrow and im going to paint the inside of the trunk black so you cant see the grey thru that small gap on the bottom that i left
ima see if i can find a small wing to mold on tomorrow wile im at it
took about 3 hours to cover it all up

 

Looks like you did a good job what did you use to fill it, steel and then bondo on top?

you really don't need a grab point at all. i wouldn't have incorporated it, but good thinking, and it really doesn't look bad. So you're going to keep it primer black?

This will look aweful if you tint the tailights dude, but in body colour as it sits right now it'd be beautiful and unique

 

i finished it up today
i put some metallic flat black looks much more darker
add a wing off a bmw
painted the small lip on the inside of the trunk so u cant see the silver on the bottom of the trunk

 

fiber glass, bondo, primer, paint
yea i was thinking if i tint the lights it would look weird with the gloss lights and the flat trunk
if i do tint the lights i will add a clear coat to the trunk so its a gloss

 

should have got the lip to 1168mm (i think thats the size) so it would sit flush. whats your bodyshop called? i may be needed some repaint and would like to see your guys work.

 

im going to mold the wing on later and ill make the sides vanish down
we rent a spot were we do all the work
we paint cars from a dealer mostly that they bought from an auction for resale
mostly do new cars
right we are doing a 2011 fiat a 2011 jetta and like 3 other cars

 

sine you do body work, i always wanted to mod in an is250/350 wing in. im sure it could mold in nicely if done right.

 

got pictures of the wing?

 

here is a picture and a link to an ebay one.

its a wierd looking wing but yea it can be done

 

i need some help deciding on some stuff
since my car is grey and flat black mostly, will the chromes and the rims look better in flat black or with a clear coat
i was kinda looking, and the rims and moldings would look weird with a flat black trunk, grill, and lip

 

Agree.

I'd just stay away from tinting. It always looks like crap especially on a silver car.

The moulding is a good idea, I like that idea. But that lip is played out. IMHO it looks 100x better without the lip. I went from loving what you did, to positively hating it, this was all done with that lip.

trunk, lips, etc that aren't body colour look like you're too cheap to get them painted. Clearly this isn't the case, but that's exactly what everyone will think.

Paint them body colour, that's the classy route to go. Otherwise it looks either
a) cheap
or
b) like you're trying to mimic carbon fiber, and failing

To the rims, I'm VERY strongly against black rims in ANY finish. IMO, they always look like crap, but even more so on a silver car.

Again, it looks cheap. That's my opinion. A nice Gunmetal is highly recommended, nothing beats gunmetal on a silver car, it will look amazing.
