my Lambo Balloon White G coupe (Satin White)
I would have done the lexus white since it looks sooooo NICE, the idea was good but to everyone that doesn't know about lambo colors it looks like a flat white. Put a lambo decal on the bumpers

^ lexus Starfire Pearl is the color you're talking about, it's a pure white with a hint of blue. That's funny because while my car was in the shop I was thinking about doing it that color but it was too late by then the lambo color had already been mixed.
haha, lambo decals on trunk eh? and GTR emblem on the front then offcourse
leemik, wow I take back what I said about my paint looking EXACTLY like the Lambo in those pictures, wtf was I thinking when I said that..... that color is a 25 thousand dollar option for the 560 Gallardo, no way my paintjob could ever match that.

Drive down the street and ask 25 random ppl what color your car is.. I bet no one says "Gallardo 560 25 thousand dollar option Ballon white"
I bet everyone says the car is "white"
You need to relax a little because posting up on the internet will always get opinions bad and good.. If you can't take opinions that are the opposite of yours put a disclaimer in your initial post stating " **I am a very sensitive person that can't take any negative opinions whatsoever so please post only good feedback** "

^ you misunderstood me, I'm totally relaxed and can take criticism, I just read what I wrote earlier and it sounds ridicilous to me, I mean how can a 25 thousand dollar paintjob equate to one that cost 4 grand, I was just bashing myself a little bit cuz I said something stupid.
Can't believe someone didn't grill me on that earlier, lol it would have been well deserved.
Only thing that annoys me on threads is bandwagon jumpers/starters like the first few replies posted here, nobody followed that bandwagon and it dispersed and those guys haven't posted since. Also people who criticize and judge not based on the full product, in this case I have extremely shitty pictures and I was told paintjob looks crap because shitty pictures say so.
Well I'm sorry for posting the only pictures I had available, I figured it would be better than nothing at all, and besides.. it can't be worse than the guy who just finished a full blown photoshoot and yet for some reason he decides to post a "Teaser" thread with just 1 picture

and as far as the color choice yea you're right, most people will think it's some kind of specialty white, not knowing it's a lambo color code. That's fine with me, I actually prefer it that way, it's more of a compliment to me when 1 true car enthusiast compliments me on the color knowing what it is, then 10 random people who think the car looks "cool"
I had a 94 TT RX-7 before, fully modded and this was when Mazda still had their older older style Mazda symbol (not the M) I can't tell you how many people came up to me asking me what car I was driving, even some car guys included... I used to get a kick outta that one all the time, heh

If you ever decide to get the APR widebody for your car
THAT would get the Lambo paint noticed big time.
yea you're right, spray painting plastic is cheap looking. That's why I had the shop spray the plastic trim and they did it right, you can see it's as good as it gets quality wise.
Kon, sounds good man, now get your bumper fixed and we'll hit up the RS Spring Meet, go put your name on the list at NIClub.ca, I already got a few guys should be around 10 of us at least.

The way I modify cars I try to achieve the perfect balance between clean and aggressive, I put parts on my car that compliment it's clean lines. Keepin it clean is one of the reasons I'm installing an APR widebody and it's why I have an authentic Data Systems/Illusion spoiler on my trunk that I paid a ridiculous price for and got it way before there were cheap replicas of it available.
The headlights, pretty much everyone who paints their headlights leaves the projector piece either chrome or they color match it to the car, so I don't see whats so strange about that. I just took an extra step to do something I haven't really seen anyone else do in leaving the clearance strip white.
The interior is just one of those things I was on the fence about but I said fck it, got it done and I'm not looking back.
I just feel after all this time trying to keep the car neutral to the point where almost everyone that looks at it won't find nothing they dislike, I feel that I owe myself a little piece of individuality. I guess in this case it's the interior.
