^^omg..its like jesus has spoken! haha jk! moto good luck man. cant wait for pics

yeah id say you paint the car, the matte would look awesome. I would recommend Angry Panda Fabrications, they painted the "ruined z", amazing color!. Pictures of the car are all over my350z and zilvia.

lemansz20 · 12-17-2009, 02:02 PM

man you are brave, I would hug you and tell you everything will be alright, but this wait is going to KILL you.

motoextreme · 12-18-2009, 09:53 AM

Doesnt help I have A.D.D. Im already itching but luckily I'm swamped at work (havent even had time for the board lately). I'm going to try and stop by today and get a peak of how its doing.

End result, Flat Black, gloss black rims, red pinstripe on the wheels, red halo type LED's in the lights and a little custom deals here and there. Quite a bit of carbon parts but not sure what's in all these boxes as I ordered them a while back. Need those pillars too in carbon.

Can't wait, I'll take tons of pics!!

That will be sick - In for end result showing.

Side note, Adam - thanks again for the gesture on the shipment of 'experimental' goods. Hope to return a favor to you some day.

cant wait for your car to be done adam.. im excited for a little photo session!

Marco_xyz · 12-19-2009, 03:14 AM

PS: the red angel eye leds are gonna go great with the red pinstripe

great idea!!

And when you go big brake it.. get some nice red calipers and ill be sooo jealous !!! lol

BLUESLATE · 12-19-2009, 03:33 AM

It's a cool idea, and a lot of people seems to be doing this lately, but I think you might get bored with the color very quickly.

Also, water spots on flat black colored cars are a BIYACH to clean.

CrownR426 · 12-19-2009, 09:52 AM

Just don't do it camo...
lol!

motoextreme · 12-19-2009, 10:59 AM

Were going to do a semi sheen matte so its easier to clean, basically a low gloss clear coat.

I hear you on it looking old after a while but I'm not really worried about what's in and whats not, worse case I'll add some vinyl later when I get tired of it.

Red Calipers.. Really want to do that but brakes are so DAMN pricey!! Need to get some more scratch together first.

gladeslvrcoq · 12-19-2009, 10:03 PM

^ In for some update pics from the shop!

motoextreme · 12-20-2009, 12:19 AM

ive been stalking your thread waiting for pics, id call you cruel for making us wait so long but......

i would be ready to slit my wrist if it was my car and i had to wait. i got a new transmission installed in a 1999 miata i owned. those were the longest days of my life waiting on the shop to get to it and complete the work,

soo ill let you off with a

but seriously after xmas pics for sure right?

theDreamer · 12-23-2009, 10:19 AM

I hate you, not a fan of bronze, but have always liked those wheels.

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 10:24 AM

I'm with you but they are IN STOCK and I dont have to wait.

I'm putting them on and if it gets old I'll paint them later. I like the fact they aren't powdercoated, my wifes Foose Rims on her Rover came powdercoated and they get chipped to hell!

It should be cool. This is the bike I'm talking about, its a little too gold but you catch my drift:
