Hello all! just got my 8 a couple months ago and I'm looking into some research for my first mods. The first couple of things i want to do, besides the clear corners and grills, (hopefully all b4 SS) i need to get done at a paint shop, as i dont trust myself for these, and i need recommendations 4 a good shop.
1). I want to put a clear bra on the front of the hood and the lights (the bumper is done for so ill wait to repaint it or get a whole new bumper)
2). I'm going to buy all the emblems on the car and have them painted charcol/gun metal to replace the chrome. (did a little searching and it seems easier just to buy them new than retape/glue)
any input is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

 

were u planning on repainting the entire car?

 

^ i think just front bumper from what i can tell. or get a new front kit or something rite?

 

lol nah all i want painted r the emblems. the other thing i want to get is the clear bra

 

i went to aerotect for the clearbra and it wasn't really a good job for my car. and being black didn't help. they do real nice work on other cars like the exotics and expensive cars. Outlaws_Extreme is getting (or got) his IS350 done there. they probably do the best work to the cars on the forums they visit and sponsor....lol

 

so thats a maybe on aerotech?
any others?

 

starsheild! they are in irwindale..

 

Newcastle got the clearbra put on his car. (silver RX-8 at bbq) You should check with him to see where he got his done.

 

so weve got a vote 4 starsheild now. did u have something done with them bryan?
good call jorge; PMed the thread to tim

 

starshield does many sema cars. you can trust them.

 

Try Xlnt Tinit, thats whi installed my clear bra. Most of you guys have already seen it on my car. I have had it on for about 1.5 years with no complaints.

 

Ohh one more thing. It can be quite pricey if you want to get the whole bumper done. Thats why I only got the front fenders and hood done. I figure I would probably end up getting some form of a replacement for the bumper (i.e. Mazdaspeed, Autobahn, ect.) in the near future so why bother dishing out funds on something i'll replace.
