Wanting to do something unique..

RoshDawg · 10-05-2012, 01:34 AM

Edit: I won't be doing something this radical anymore. But what about rally armor mud flaps for the winter to save the paint? (they heavily salt the roads here)

So I have a Platinum Graphite Z with a stillen lip and cf seibon nismo spoiler (as well as most of the stillen bolt on parts), and want to do something more to it cosmetically (but still reversible).
My girlfriend and I are picking up a veloster turbo for her (why we chose that instead of the focus st is a story for another thread) and started looking at some modded pics of them and came across this:
2012 Hyundai ARK Performance Veloster Front Three Quarters.JPG Photo 5 (photo insert won't work for me)
What do you guys think about adding those green outlines to certain areas on the Z (perhaps the side window outline) or plasti dip the fangs, rear valance and mirrors bright green with gloss coat? Any other suggestions?
I'm a little bored out here (just moved) and figured constantly messing with cosmetics of the Z will pass the time by until my 3 years are up. I'll probably have a whole series of different designs on my Z by the time I leave this place. hah.
Thanks in advance for replying to this '

I think it only looks good because it's pretty much a race car; such a thing would have be photoshopped onto the Z to get an idea of how it looks.

I don't think it would look that great, but since plastidip is reversible, why not give it a go?

Don't

axmea? · 10-05-2012, 02:42 AM

no please.

Things like that will only work under special circumstances/events. The lines on the Z are more "elegant" compare to the veloster so it wont feel the same.

simply put: just cause an idea works on other cars, doesnt mean it will work on a Z.

try working with a body shop and design a new kit for the Z, if you wanna be unique

I see your point on this. And I'm not about to cover my car in manufacture decals. I'll probably mess around with it on forza to see how it will look.

Good point. I do want to keep things elegant. Maybe I'll just plasti dip the fangs black, and those 'grill' slits a bright color?

Again guys, I'm just looking to do something to pass the time over here, especially with winter around the corner. Some people like to paint on canvas as a hobbie I like to 'paint' on my car. Hah.

I've had rally armor mud flaps on my evo and sti and loved them, what about having them on the z just for the winter to save the paint (they salt the roads here)? Can't imagine they would look too ugly..
