Nice PICS!! But this is why i hate rock chips. =/
awesome setup in the exterior.

yea man i do mainly highway driving in nj and my poor bumper takes a beating

nice car mang
but DO YOU HAVE POSITIVE CAMBER?!
!! so did I! haha

ouch! That would drive me crazy. Nice ride.

Hey if you dont mind me asking what kind of rims are those?

looks great, but I'm not feeling the hood for some reason

great lookin' pics, definitely a sexy car.
The hood is a 'bit' too agressive for that kit, but overall the car looks GREAT!

Have you thought about a respray on that bumper and maybe a clear bra? (I know it wouldn't be cheap though. :( )
What size / offset are those wheels?

Yeah the pics are really good, sometimes it's hard to get the curves on the BB's to stand out but you did a good job with it.

nice car mang
but DO YOU HAVE POSITIVE CAMBER?!
!! so did I! haha
it always look like i do from the pics but i dont. the passenger back looks the worst but it if you look at it up close and from above you see the negative camber

ouch! That would drive me crazy. Nice ride.
what would drive you crazy the rock chips? when it gets a little warmer out i will probably get it repainted

Hey if you dont mind me asking what kind of rims are those?
wheels are from MB Wheels and the model is Drifter

looks great, but I'm not feeling the hood for some reason
people either love it or hate it. it is on the aggressive side but i wanted something that was different

thanks jedi! i definitely will be getting a respray soon now that the winter is slowly going away. i had considered a clear bra but i heard they can pull the paint off because it was sprayed second hand and not from the factory :dunno: and the wheels are 18x8.5 with a +38 offset on all four corners

Yeah the pics are really good, sometimes it's hard to get the curves on the BB's to stand out but you did a good job with it.
yea black is not easy at all. luckily the lot i went into wasnt crowded so i was able to constantly move the car around the face the sun. and it helps that my father was there to help(photography is his hobby)

Nice pics. You've got a nice look to your car. Gotta love the all black...

yea i agree with jedi about the repaint and bra, but man your car is lookin hot!

Looks good, I like it.

and for some reason i think the hood would look 100% better if painted black... it would fill out the vertex more...

Love the hood bro, alot. What I love even more are your seats. You got those put in correct? I doubt they would look good in my Phantom Blue...they look sick in your BB though. We should meet up one day ;) Just got my aero kit, need to paint/install them, then we should be good lol.

yea snipes i love ur interior too.

thx again everyone for the comments! i agree that the hood does look a little "off" against the black paint. it only looks like that when under direct sunlight so i can live with it for now.

ross, its the vertex lang front not tsunami.

alano we should definitely meet up especially now its getting warmer. o yea and the seats are stock :) shinka package gets those seats

Oh wow i just noticed something. You need some tints!!

first i need to get my rear on and then tints :)

^And then....






































TURBO!!!

Tints in NY and NJ are a pain in the ass. What is it now, 80$ a ticket? Most cops around my area are pricks, Im dying to get some tints put on mine too. As for the Shinka seats, I didnt even know you had a Shinka, I thought it was a BB, am I not seeing the color or was it painted or am I missing something? Lol.

^What's the legal limit up there? Down here it's 35% but they will let you slide with 32%. I have 25% on mine and I havn't had any problems.

the hood and the car looks perfect

Legal limit is NONE in the front, as dark as you want in the back. Pretty lame huh?

awesome car, what kind of fender vents do you have? looks awesome

thanks!

fiberglass evo-r vents

yo snipaz i love it bro...looks good mang. you coming out on the 15th or 30th for the meet?

the palisades mall one on the 30th? yea i'll be there and i should be at the meet tomorrow night

Did you take these pics over by Father Capodanno Blvd.? I used to go down there when i was still playing high school hockey. Judging by the background it looks like it, but I could be wrong.

Also, nice pics. I love the color!

i may be there tomorrow...

i took them at gateway park off hylan blvd. were you driving on hylan today going towards tottenville today, i passed a vr 8 going the opposite way from me?

clean, although...

get a clear bra for sure. lol i had it on my front back a while ago, but had a little mishap, so i tore it off. no paint came off. the idea is to wait around 30 days after painting to put a clear bra on, so the paint can fully cure.

i plan to get mine clear bra'd again soon. it's worth it if you don't repaint your front often. i went through 4-5 repaints already and it adds up.

If it was around 2:30 in the afternoon, it was most likely me. I was coming back from school.

well thats good to hear the paint wont come off if you pull of the bra. if anything i still have my stock bumper so i can let the paint settle and bring it to be cleared without having to worry about the bumper getting messed up in the mean time. thanks ngo

yea i think it was around that time

the hood is way too much...trade it with mine

thanks!


fiberglass evo-r vents

how was the fitment and installation?

NO! Snipaz, keep your hood, it's sick. And what size wheels are those? I found them but they only seem to be available in 19s, 20s but I thought those were 18s...

the hood is way too much...trade it with mine
done deal tomorrow! :lol:

how was the fitment and installation?
installation is very easy and the fitment wasnt to bad. there are some gaps and one of the vents wasnt properly trimmed so it doesnt exactly sit perfectly. i posted pics in the fiberglass fender vent thread.

dont worry im keeping it, just an inside joke with chrism. the wheels are 18x8.5 i'll pm you the link

really nice snipaz, i love your car, i wanna photoshop it so it has a red glow like knight rider after what someone said about your car, i love that hood, its nice n aggressive like the frony bumper

thanks again don! i cant wait to see photoshop of red glow(if you do it)

so sexy!

ross, its the vertex lang front not tsunami.

ah my bad looks really good man... good job!

im gonna freshen mine up with kenny in the spring....wanna see if he will do a 2 for one?

if the price is right i dont see why not. maybe i'll have my rear by then and he can do that to

Dude it looks great but you really should put some black meshing in those openings of the front bumper to protect your radiator and oil coolers from damage.

Nice choice of hood btw ;)

:Drooling_
now that is sex on wheels
i love the aggressive look. and ya, i agree with the few that said tint it, especially if you're going for the knightrider affect, BUT at $80 a ticket, i don't know if you'd be willing to pay that a few times just to have a hot ride

you were my hood inspiration :worship: i'm going to probably wind up getting the racingbeat screens and just retro fitting the oil cooler screens for this bumper

thanks photochick!:) tint will be done but right now i have other priorities i need to take care of(rear bumper). and i'll probably wind up getting 35% so it wont be too too dark to attract the cops

in pic 4 it looks like its only a 2 seater. for some reason the cockpit (terminology?) looks SOO much tinier than normal =P

lol looks good

lol yea it does! some of the angles cut out the back seats

none in the front?!?!?!

Love that kit on your car...it's lookin' good.
Fuggin hate rock chips...my car is plague with it as well.

dont understand what you mean

black paint does not mix well with rock chips lol

i'll probably be starting a new thread in 2 weeks or so with pics of a new mod
:naughty:

As usual, great pics of a great car my man! I think you've got one of the cleanest 8's on the board! That hood is a 10 for me!

So cliff whatcha got coming? What is the big secret? Don't try to be like me and keep secrets from everyone and then reveal them to the world...LOL...only I can do that. lol.

But I agree black paint and road do not agree..I already got 2 small nicks on my hood from driving. As a matter of fact I think it happened saturday on my way to the palisades mall. I may have to think about that clear wrapping shit...

of course thats what i'm going to do! hahahahahaha i've been waiting over a month for this thing to come in and i'm started to get worried i wont have it by the 30th meet. pics will definitely go up regardless of when i install it :D:

none in the front?!?!?!dont understand what you mean
i meant no tint at all in the front is legal?? that sucks bad...

tint in the front windshield is only legal for a couple inches but i dont really car for that look. tint on the front door windows in ny have to be something like 40% to be legal. i'll probably wind up getting 35% on the 5 windows(not front)

cliff i cant wait to see bro. cliff when you get tints let me know how much you pay cause i gotta get tinted sooner or later as well.

its probably not going to be for a while but im going to probably go to the clinton auto spa in nj. mike(alucard) said that they will do tint for $160. we may have to get a small group to do it at that price but that the best price i've ever seen for tints so i dont mind waiting for a meet to do it

thats cool w/me bro. how good are they? i have paid 165 in the past in the BX. Just let me know in advance so I can have $ for it bro.

i have no clue how they are i just heard about them from alucard when he was setting up the install meet. but if he ever looks to do it again and they tint i'll let you know!

Wow you have a very hot car!!
You should photo shop the people out of the reflections and then make a calender!

good idea man. maybe i will once i complete the car

so what is this secret mod?

so what is this secret mod?
i do not know what you are talking about :dunno: hopefully you will see it installed at the palisades meet :D:

ok well i got my new mod installed and i figured i'd just put pics in this thread instead of starting a new one so here ya go...

very very sexy!!!!
thank you! you will get to see them on tuesday

You must not like black wheels with crome lip or something. You dont like mine either..

I guess it is when there isnt a big lip (on the black/chrome)...I only like it when there is a lip, ya know?
btw, snipazz, hopefully i get the bumper painted soon :) its just sitting in a room waiting to be fitted/painted! lol

Those brakes were looking mad nice cliff!

So your saying you only like the black wheels that have like a 2-3 inch lip in crome? Mine have a lip, but you don't like them? :(
