Wow, love the headlight and grill mod. Looks great man!

Man, that looks nice bro! Good job.

dlmartin81 · 08-31-2009, 08:05 PM

I think the side mirrors would look great in that color too. Any plans of that??

I especially like how you left the ends of the projectors the stock silver but hit the other parts giving it a Lambo projector looks which is the best looking style.

What are you shooting your pics with?

Maybe something on the mirrors some black in the middle

Thanks! We ran out of time before the Z meet here or else I would have done the badges too, going to keep it the same way, a low gloss smoked black look.

The ends and what I call the Nike Swoosh where actually painted the same color as my car. They were silver but matched the silverstone paint from the 370's more than the platinum graphite so i wanted it to match 100%

The process was > Heat Gun > Pull apart gently, and take it too the booth and spray it.

We based it off the DYI on this forum and did our own thing. For anyone in the tri-state (NY/NJ/CONN) that wants this done can have it for 300$ - My friend has his own shop and enjoyed doing it that he wanted me to throw that out their! You can contact me via PMs.

Camera is a Canon XSi with various lenses.

You know we talked about that, and for some reason I was like "nahh, I'll wait on that". But ya, it has the potential of looking kinda cool.

looks perfect - much better than flat black. what kind of paint did you use/ where did you get it?

After awhile a 'flat' black would get chalkboard like and really dry looking. So we removing the bumper and sprayed the entire mouth (fangs, fins, license plate holder area) in a matte/satin black which has a low gloss to it. That picture has some reflections to it which really give it a big gloss finish but its not...take a look below.

Whats cool about a satin black is that it tricks you because its almost like in certain lights a silver ( or PG

) wants to pop from underneath it. Which happens to come off looking badass on my car.

Depends alot on your offset, and how much camber you adjust.

DannyGT · 09-14-2009, 12:26 AM

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

My next mods (and most likely final ones)

-Black out the emblems so they match the whole theme of the car
-Bomex front lip with center section in CF
-Mines rear wing lip addon
-GTM Supercharger kit. If this comes prepped with a good fuel setup it should take care of any issues comapred to what Travis is experiencing.

Hoping to have everything except the SC within the next month, maybe two. I'm sure i'll be ordering the GTM kit the moment its available.
