Tian's Build Thread
 

Alright, this is what's being done. Open for opinions and suggestions

2005 Coupe 6mt.
• Nismo front - Klumz
• Nismo skirts - Strafe
• Chargespeed rear - Strafe

Not a popular setup. Only know one other with this set up and the car is gone so might be the current only. Hopefully it stays that way.

• Custom Ferrari Grilgio Silverstone paint - Only G35 with this color
• Nismo ducts will be satin black
• Roof will be gloss black
• Rear diffuser will be satin black
• Grill will be satin black
• Mirror bases will be gloss black
• 06/07 Headlights custom painted with satin black and Ferrari GS paint. LEDs on the clearance strip is a possibility
• Rear stabilizer bar will be sanded and painted metallic red to go with the Silver/red theme.
• Removing the pin stripes off the sides finally. Even though I kinda liked it :)
• Tow hook delete
• Driver key hole delete

• 19'' BBS LMs with TA stripe. Just like my old RH C4s
• HKS Ti will be repolished
• Tail lights have vinyl previously and I'll keep them pending on how it flows. If I don't like it then a simple peel. *** Peeled and looks amazing now!***
• Headlights sanded and buffed


I think thats sums up everything that is being done exterior wise. I got other goodies but I think I have it summed up on the visual stuff. Any inputs on the satin? That's what I've been bouncing back and forth on. Gloss or satin? Anything thing else I should paint differently. BTW... I'm keeping the surfboard spoiler. I like it

I'll post pics of my car for the first time ever on driver. It's been in the shop for two weeks. I get it back next Friday hopefully. :BOUNCE:
This time I'll take pics of the progress

Little past and a little tease:

nice list, look forward to the pics. And hell yes on satin, except on the roof you should do the roof gloss black because of all the glossy glass surrounding it...
rear valence or diffuser definitely satin though, look at how silky smooth my rear valence looks in satin black, almost edible like some kind of candy or somethin, lol

and here's the roof issue, gloss black would be much better to match the rest of the glass..I'm actually respraying a coat of glossy clear on my roof soon

Yeah yeah, I know. :postpics:

How's the consistency on the clear coat? I know you can wax it but I'm worried on the appearance and luster it gives

Best G I have ever seen in my life!! :thewave:

^wait till you see his new setup!

I'm sure it will be. I'll post in his thread when he does ;)

Ok. So Adon has a good point as far as the glass clashing with the satin on the roof. So I think I'll go with gloss roof and mirror bases and satin grill, front air ducts, rear valencs and HL housing. Yay or nay?

thanks Jay, my car be far from hottest, but with my new setup coming soon that Biggz pointed out but I'm definitely gonna make a strong case for one of the cleanest around. Jay I been keepin tabs on your build for a while now and there's not much I can say anyone else already hasn't said bro, disgustingly sickening, keep postin'em updates !


Tian yea don't WAX IT! i learned the hard way... and here's some close ups of what it would basically look like, nothing to worry about it looks sick! stole these pics from the B2designs diffuser sale thread

Wow Tian thas a crazy list... Can't wait to see the finished product. And that paint jobs gonna be nice..
Im also goin with a gloss black roof... Gonna order the k2 revised bumper to open up the airway for my new intercooler :)
I really like that diffuser.. How's it sit with G's that are slammed? White G doesnt seem to be that low to me.

Thanks man! I can't wait either. I hope I'm not too low. Im currently on DF210s on sport suspension.

Congrats on the PL turbo man! Gonna be sick. Wish I could cross over to the dark side

Thanks :)
Im on tein flex coils slammed with the rear spring mount mod also. maxxed out in the rear and gonna be almost maxxed in the front.. My main issue is getting a good front bumper that doesnt sit low... Like oem height..
Good luck with ur project bro!

Thanks man. Thats next on my list. Spring mount mod. Danny.. cough cough

Can't wait to see the finished product Tian
