hey guys here are some new pics of my car
let me know what you think
i just put on the carbon fiber hood, and the 99 front end on saturday
also i painted my 95 gsr rims gunmetal
they came out pretty good but anyway here you go

 

thats tight mang....howd u paint the wheels?

 

Looks good dude, I am feeling everything but the spoiler and red "h" 's. Overall looks nice and clean. Keep it up

 

Looks really nice... Im with dude about the emblem... just take it off IMO...

 

with duplicolor wheel paint, the color is graphite grey
what i did was
1. take off the wheels
2. then clean the rims with a degreaser
3. sand them with 320 grit sandpaper
4. wash off the wheels again and dry them
5. to mask the wheel from the tire I used 3.5 inch cards that you can get at office max and I put them between the tire and the wheel all the way around the wheel
(its alot easier and faster then using masking tape and newspaper)
6. sprayed on a light coat then every 10 minutes i would spray on another light coat (sprayed about 6 coats in all)
7. after I let it dry for about an hour, then i put them on my car

hope that helps out

 

id take off the emblem but it leaves 2 holes and looks ugly
and i dont have the stock one cuz someone stole it
but yeah i plan on doing that
as for the spoiler, i plan on getting a spoon one or a replica
so we are in agreement , kinda

very nice, leave the emblem, it doesnt look bad at all!

 

How are you not feeling the spoiler? That CTR spoiler is probably the best and cleanest looking for an EK.

 

i like my spoiler, but now that i have a carbon fiber hood, i would rather have a spoon one, thats all

 

nice car!

 

Nice car. I noticed the intercooler in the front, what do you run in the 1/4 mile??


Clean car!!

 

what a difference a day makes...twent-four little...well, you get the idea, the wheels look great...alot better than the shiny finish they normally have on them...

 

What kinda headlighats are those. Real CTR ones?

 

no, ctr's don't have the reflector, those are painted. Hey man, nice car, what brand hood is that?

 

looks like siinsi's car....

 

how many cans of paint did it take to paint all four wheels... and di u need to use a clear coat?

 

looks good! you did a good job! wanna paint mine? BTW what kinda tires are on those? Falken___? I can't see

 

those rims look phat! your car is definantly bad ***.

 

looking good!!

 

Why don't you have a emblem on the front, it's a nice car overall, but the thing looks dropped way fare, hope you don't have camper problems.

 

Car looks great!
I think it would look better with different wheels though. I think the GSR wheels are a little too dated for the EK body style for some reason. They just look better on EG's to me. It still looks good though. Keep up the good work. I think the spoiler looks fine by the way.

 

little lower profile tirez is what I would do. Nice clean look though...not ricey

 

i prolly shouldn't be saying anything, but that FMIC looks a bit small, are you running the Greddy kit?

 

i think it looks hard as h3ll
f#@k those ' what you need to do' fools
good job on the wheels and lights

 

i would do that gunmetal to my 95 's too..after i saw your pic...but i live in fremont...i dont wanna bite off you..nice car though...
