NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) So I got the text from Mark on Friday...she's going to be ready. Outstanding! Angie and I drove down to Mark and Kate's today to pick her up. We pull the trailer up to the shop, and there's Mark...detailing until the very end! http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/710999_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 And get this...he went ahead and surprised me by shooting the engine bay in a gorgeous gloss black. I was going to be doing it myself, but this looks frickin awesome...and totally unexpected. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7014320_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Never have I been more happy putting a decal on my car. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/2007943_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Check out the rear license lamp deletes...so sweet. The new lamp is tucked and hidden right above the plate. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/896698_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Man oh man did the rear hatch spoiler turn out great. Thanks for the maskings Natallica. Mark, you frickin nailed that "Turbo" placement. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/2855432_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 These turned out better than I thought possible. Once again excellent masking and placement. BTW, all the white stuff is polishing dust. The wheels in the reflection are one of my sets of SHPs that Mark is going to do in the same color scheme as the car. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/9875566_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 And here's the man...the artist...the you get the picture. This is pure talent people. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7915765_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Now this was funny. Two old men pushing a car up onto a car hauler (Angie was supervising). Not bad considering Mark slept a grand total of three hours in the last two days to make sure the car was ready. Of course I was pretty much worthless...the kid in candy store syndrome was in full effect. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/1292761_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) This picture makes me laugh. It looks like Mark is using a chant or something to get the car up on the hauler. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7193445_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Truth be told, we had to chuck a rear tire and take a break before getting it all the way on the trailer. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/6409929_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) On the way home we stopped for some caffeine and Beaver Nuggets from Buc-ees. (If you have to ask then you are missing out.) Plus I just couldn't wait to see the car under some serious lighting... http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/450239_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/6393821_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/8593808_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7421165_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/1526856_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Another couple of shots once I got her in the garage at home. Please forgive the water spots and white dust...gonna knock that out this week. The real kicker is some of the finer details that Mark hit (pleasant surprises to me I might add). He color matched the MotoCam hood struts and the strut tower brackets to the car...so killer. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7001633_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/962620_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/1796050_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/9230395_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 This header panel used to look like a beat up tomato can. Mark straightened it, reinforced it, and made it smooth as glass. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/9367359_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 This is one of my favorite touches...the antenna bump delete on the left spoiler molding. The new sound system antenna is going to be run through the C-Pillars. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/632285_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) A couple more shots at home. I'll get some more up this week after spending some detailing time. So glad we decided to color match the C-Pillar covers...it just ties in the whole paint job. http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/9578338_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/3196842_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/979481_orig.jpg http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/7897838_orig.jpg Edited February 17, 2014 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Man, Buc-ee's has some lights, don't they? I'm glad I don't pay their electric bill! Glad you like it, and I'm sure it feels good to have it in your own garage. I'm glad to free up some space, but I must admit, when I was out in the shop after you left, it felt like something was missing LOL. Once the wheels are done and that thing's on D2's, it's gonna be sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
