Komeuppance Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Should have painted that front air dam too... haha... What paint did you use?? -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 You went from that black to blue? I kinda like how it looks in that last pic better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoltoMario Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I actually did throw some paint on the airdam. I have a better one that im gonna paint and put on the car. The paint I used was from a local auto body supply shop. They will acutally mix the paint to the paint code specs in a spray can. Works pretty decent for what it is. And yea I switched from Black to Blue. I think the black didnt look as good because I put polished wheels on rather then my powder coated ones so there is no more black on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoltoMario Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) you beter post some pics off yopur car slammed to the max on those coilovers Of course...Im shooting to be the first Starquest on Hellaflush...I either an gonna go with some 8s with spacers or more then likely put on some White Diamond Racing Widened Steelies. And I got a bit of overspray...Not bad at all 95% of it whipped off with a towl. The rest ill get off when I detail the car after the rain. and the shop that color matches the paint is called Neds Auto Body Supply. They have a few of them around the bay area. They are really great guys and all the best auto body shops use them. My uncle has been in the auto body business for 35 years and has always used them Edited January 8, 2010 by MoltoMario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) looks great man, def one of my favorites on here. What you should do is get 4 shp'9s, like I got, run a 33mm in the rear and 25mm up front. Stretch a 215 up front and your good. They fit just fine, especially with a lil camber. Keep us posted on the coilovers, I really want to get a set. Edited January 8, 2010 by idriftjunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkidmino Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Looks great man! I like it much better with the polished wheels and body color spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Paintscratch.com will also mix up paint in aeroesol cans if you don't live near an autobody supply place that does. There's also a great site to get lots of body supplies if you live in an area with no auto body supply places, or a supply place that charges way too much for stuff... www.tcpglobal.com And who gives a rat's A about overspray on glass. it comes off with a razor blade or 000 steel wool when you're windexing anyway. Windex and steel wool are much cheaper than masking paper and tape . looks good. Edited January 8, 2010 by Burton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna have to have a friend do a photochop with the wheels, but I think it will look good with white steelies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mech Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 BTW..did you change the muffler? Hows the handling now? probably rock solid i imagine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoltoMario Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 BTW..did you change the muffler? Hows the handling now? probably rock solid i imagine..... Yea I changed the muffler to a Greddy TiC...It toned it down a bit but Im still gonna throw a silencer in. As for handling when I changed the tires to Azenis it helped a lot. Much better cornering. I havent got the front coils on but as soon as I do get them on and get an Alignment I will be hitting up the twisties and letting you guys know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I love how your car sits right now - can't wait to see what it's like on those coilovers. You can take over HellaFlush, I'll be the first SQ on RimTuck.com ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
