Hmmm might do the rear one evil *walks off to find side cutters* front may look abit weird as the grill still has the whole emblem behind the badge

BG1.8sp · 15-05-2012, 05:03 PM

You don't need to cut. Just mask an paint sections black

swift jimmy · 15-05-2012, 05:06 PM

dude :-D !!!!!! awesome idea

Ben · 15-05-2012, 05:12 PM

Mmmm red... What are you getting on your plates?

BG1.8sp · 15-05-2012, 05:31 PM

Should have done the red and black sections in plasti dip.
Plasti dip = no prep work, and can peel it straight back off if you don't like it and get sick I it.(back to chrome)

swift jimmy · 16-05-2012, 08:33 PM

swift jimmy · 18-05-2012, 09:25 AM

Excuse the car.. its dirty as a virgin wife on her wedding night.. putting subs and plastics back in over the weekend thinking the coilovers may have to go up in the front 1-2cms

z100 · 18-05-2012, 09:49 AM

Car looks great, did you have any scrubbing issues with those wheels before the guard rolling?

swift jimmy · 18-05-2012, 01:12 PM

z100 - Yeah i did :-( that was at stock height aswell i was having the issues.. Only when fully loaded with people thought

Ben - im just getting my current plates remade in the black and red nothing new or exciting just colour change

BG1.8SP - The badges i painted are just 2nd hand ones i got of a member here last year still have my originals at home so not scared to destroy / repaint them when ever i want :-D

Map lights

Car looks good!, shame about the scrubbing

Ben · 18-05-2012, 05:40 PM

I have a red interior light... Doesn't work out too well.. Looks cool, but hell impractical. I've left my map lights the same, so i can still see when needed.

Clean_Cookie · 18-05-2012, 05:43 PM

I just upgraded mine to a multi-led white one and its the best mod I've done for the money in terms of practicality. its stupid bright compared to the stock one. I recommend WHITE! One day you will really need to look for that dropped cheeseburger or fries and whats the use of red lights...sutherland shire could be one of those...districts though

Ben · 18-05-2012, 05:48 PM

Yeah, white all the way. I thought it would be decent since its LED, but alas no. Will be changing mine to white when i get around to it haha

swift jimmy · 21-05-2012, 11:49 AM

ive found out what u guys are talking about with the red.. tried them when it was dark was like hmmm best waste of $5 ever !!! i'll change to white ones next time i drive past a jaycar :-)

Played with the coilovers yesterday gone up 1cm each side just a touch low and was scrapping on full lock.. Best thing is putting the subs back in and the plastic boot lining the rear has dropped another 1-2cm so its sitting nicely atm.

Going for a quick natio run 2night to see how it all feels and may even wash it :-D

swift jimmy · 08-06-2012, 04:22 PM

so had a little drama with the car the other night decided to not idle and weird exhaust note and wouldnt go anyway limped it up to the mechanice only to find out a couple of hours later its all cause he was to lazy to replace the gaskets near the cat when he replaced it 8 months ago... NOT HAPPY JAN !!!!!

Update 08/06/12

- Still waiting on number plates.. Should hopefully be next week been delayed due to huge demand "apparently"
- Still waiting on stickers/yellow film from shinzowerks.com sent 4 emails and no reply grrrrrr

Ben · 08-06-2012, 09:59 PM
