Paint later on or powder coating as the later is what I went with and love the performance in harsh conditions.

I haven't clear coated the calipers yet(decals won't arrive until mon), but I thought I'd slap the wheel on and see how she looks...I think I like it ;)

I'm going to catch heck for this...who can guess what I'm going to do?
I think it looks great!
I may try that plastic dip stuff this summer to how I like it. |
Looks good. I had my wheels plasti dipped for over a year and it aged very nicely, with the occasional touch up.
It was tough to peel off for me after that year though, it didn't come off too smoothly. It was more time consuming than those Youtube videos had shown. |
Getting there...wheels and calipers are done ;)
http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...CBA708A8FD.jpg I think I'm going to need smoked tail lights now... http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...F71C117FF4.jpg |
Glad you like it. ;)
|
Looks groovy !
|
plasti dip the side intakes. Those PORSCHE stripes are a must.
|
I'm getting there...had hoped to have it all done this week, but I'm a little over meticulous and took longer on the wheels and calipers than I had planned.
Decals and intakes may have to wait until next week. Good top down weather today and I don't want to spend it in the garage ;) |

Your wheels and calipers are looking totally sweet and I love the contrast with the car...but there is something about that green! You can have so much fun with the intakes as they offer a wide range of things to do... These are mine: http://s19.postimage.org/xn08qa31v/Intake.jpg |
Looking good!

Progress has come to a stand still for now. I figure that the decals and intakes will take up an afternoon, and the HID retrofit for my new clear headlights will take a day or two. Between work and classes, I hope to have it done by next week ;) |
Intake shrouds removed...
http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...B19FE8675E.jpg And five coats later... http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...B188CF0AE2.jpg Going to let these dry over night and start on the decals ;) |
Driver side done. Still need to trim around the door and wheel wells.

Hell yea! I like it, I have plasti dipped mine and love it. you can use any UV protector to make it age better... A tip for anyone doing it, wipe your overspray, dont let it dry, the edge of the rim will adhere better thus less touch ups
If you are going to smoke your tail lights DONT. Ill buy your non ambered lights and give you my stock ones! |
|
It definitely looks better, can't say I would have gone neon green on the brake calipers, but it does look better overall.
|
I am diggin the latest iteration.
Agree with ccstud17, don't darken the tailights...has a very nice flow right now. |
