adam! it looks sick......

can't wait to see it in person and as well as yourself,

at the next meet....

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 01:31 AM

Heck yeah...I'll be there bro, no more travels for awhile. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Couple little blems I need to touch up but at least I have her home. Tell you this, sure drives different with these wheels, feels almost like I dont have power steering. No complaints, I like more front end feel.

schrute · 01-16-2010, 01:45 AM

1. Wow!
2. Pinstripe - I wouldn't have voted for Gold in advance (not that you asked LOL) but I don't think it looks half bad with the rims. It sounds like you're not sold on it though, and that's the opinion that matters most.
3. Wow!
4. Those rims are sick. Perfect choice.
5. The hood looks fantastic, really diggin the new look vs. the solid CF
6. Are the JDM tails painted on the inside? Can't wait to see better pics, they look great.
7. Iron Man looks cool, would look cooler with the Demon eye (and you thought you were done haha)
8. Under the hood upgrades look great, red hoses tie in great with the engine cover. Pop that hood at meets for sure!
9. Wow!

Need better pics!

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 01:49 AM

You know what... Couldn't really mod the JDM's internally so I just had him smoke them last minute. Damn things looked WAY too bright with car all blacked out.

Yeah, pinstripe, I'll take nice pics with it off...sorry RAW, waste of time I know but too flashy for me, I want stealth!!!!

I just need to install the carbon pillars and tow hook. Thanks for the props man, as you can tell I'm pretty damn excited. Oh, need to put the black caps on it too but the paint wasn't ready. no biggie...

After spending all that dough, you'd better be....

How were the recesses for the emblem filled? Looks great.

Trips · 01-16-2010, 01:37 AM

interesting about your steering,
Did you go with a more aggressive setup? front and rear?

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 01:42 AM

I think its just that they are a bit wider then stock. Figure I'll see how it feels once the coilovers are installed tomorrow.

What are you thinking about the pinstripe? Looks much more aggressive with it off but does look a little more finished with it on. Really not into the whole bling thing (I don't want to hear any sh$% about the Rovers, wife likes them and they do great in the mountains

)

It looks good, the pics don't it justice.

I now it looks cleaner in person..

Don't sweat the background whips.. their cool as well.

looks sick - the pinstripe but wow do i love that paint!

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 01:59 AM

I believe the rear was plastic welded but the front was filled and to be honest it bubbled a little so we're going to have to take another stab at that one. Apparently its a bit of a pain in the a$$ to get rid of the badges but worth it for me anyway

the de-badged front end looks awesome. if i ever get to the point where i respray my front i'll be nixing that burger.

phelan · 01-16-2010, 02:03 AM

holy. freaking. crap.

NICE adam, puts my car to shame easy. see ya at the next meet! (i swear i'll be there this time lol)

ctzn · 01-16-2010, 02:08 AM

Damn looks great man! Look forward to more pics

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:20 AM

Yeah right Phelan...you have so much carbon you have to tie your car down when its windy!

I'm at Amplified from 2PM to 6PM tomorrow if anyone feels like grabbing a burger, I'll buy! They need the car for about 4 hours to wrap up their stuff. I was going to do the shifter, knob etc myself but since they have it apart anyway may as well just knock it out..
