Phelan, why not do black brakes with red accent? I think full red would be overkill and the black will allow the red stripe on the new wheels to pop more.

that was my plan but in Cf thou.

Carbon fiber or black would work, guess it just depends on if you want to be rice or not.

Jamaica · 01-02-2011, 08:11 PM

rice taste good. But I rather do the fenders in CF instead.

All you're missing is a TT Kit!

I didn't even notice your door handles are body color matched, I would apply some type of matte/satin/vinyl accent to the side skirt somewhere similar to the black accents in the front and rear bumpers. I am not sure how I would go about the design, but that would break up the middle of the car a bit.

docaam · 01-03-2011, 12:20 PM

I think red calipers will look good, thats just my opinion, its true in pics car looks too much red same in my case but in real I feel its ok proportion.

I am getting brakes powder coated once my rotors are here in Dubai, you can have a feeling then by looking at the pictures. Another colour in my mind was light golden

RCZ · 01-03-2011, 01:13 PM

I think gloss black on the beveled sections of the sideskirt might do the trick!

Black Calipers / red letters MAYBE...its a gamble, might look tacky.
Maybe full black door handles?
Ever considered CF blades under the sideskirts?

phelan · 01-03-2011, 01:28 PM

yeah RCZ i'm agreeing about putting black accents on the beveled section of the sideskirt, that will help it out a lot. now i just need to photoshop the door handle and see if it looks right or not.

never really thought about adding more below the sideskirts. scrapes enough as it is

not to mention, again, i've pretty much left the CF accents for the engine bay only. not really sure i want to reintroduce it to the exterior yet...although eventually i might have something that'll work.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Hey Phelan, since the Amuse front bumper has a connected underbody portion, how do you do your oil changes? Do you have to remove the whole bumper each time?

nope there is a section for it. So there is no need to take off the bumper for an oil change.

phelan · 01-24-2011, 11:09 PM

^ this! although if you're not careful, you might get some oil trapped under there. it's a pretty small cutout they put in. i'm thinking of opening it up a bit and making a door, but won't do it for a litle bit i think.

also, for the record...this is a temporary setup, but i thought it would be nice to catalog a video. GReddy TiC with HFCs.

Mini-review: raspy as hell. can't hear myself think in the cabin. had my head out the window screaming "OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!!!"

...yeah. don't think i'm really one for a really loud straight pipe exhaust
