Custom front strut bar thread

Japanjay · 10-13-2012, 02:09 PM

Searched and didnt see one so since I just got mine done along with my wheels to match figured I would start a running thread for those who have painted, powdercoated, purchased, or had a one off made for under the hood. My wheels still have to go monday to get some custom free hand painting done on them over the powder. Everything was stripped, then chrome dipped to give the translucent look in the sun, then powdercoated with Stryker Orange with a touch of pearl added. Future plans are to get G3's and have the tubing powdercoated to match with some possible one off stripping done also. All said and done for strut bar, wheels, ink work, plus being bumped to first on the list ahead of 24 orders, $690. The pics dont really do justice for the depth of the orange plus being in the garage due to the rain and no sun hitting it to bring it out real well.

With the wheels in the picture:

Don't like the wording screams douche

Other than that looks good!

Fvckin classy indeed

It was meant more for a laugh. In reference to how you can get a 370z for much less than it looks and also the orange on blue. Kinda of an inside joke I guess. Had a trooped pull me over and commented on how it must have cost around $70k.

Take more pics this is a pretty sick color combo.

Japanjay · 10-13-2012, 07:39 PM

I will post some up when the sun decides to come back out so as to try and show the true color. By that time the wheels will have the finishing touches done too.

Mine is currently being painted along with alot of other parts so cost im not sure what it breaks down to. I will post pics when I get it back.

Knicks fan?

Japanjay · 10-14-2012, 04:47 PM

Lol, nope. Dont really watch or keep up with sports. Only color I could think off outside of the 3 go to colors for the people with Montery Blue. Gold/Bronze, Black/Gunmetal, White. I wanted something that would go with the Blue but look different in a crowd of cars. Was tossing the idea of hi-def green, but didnt think it would go as well as orange.

Mr&Mrs · 10-14-2012, 07:28 PM

Not as fancy as yours just color matching it to the car.
