as promised, here are a couple of pics of my new stockers!

 

Ninja - now just do something about those door handles.

Did you send them for paint or DIY?

 

it was a DIY project...had some free time

and i'm thinking about doing the door handles BUT not sure exactly what it's look like on mine...plus i don't wanna paint for a while since i was up late last night doing this

before the flaming comes, i do plan on getting some spacers here in the near future...either going +20 all the way around or +20/+25 front/back

 

almost too much black. i think you should redlip the rims and take off the headlight tint and black them out

 

i put the headlight tint after i painted the housing...the reason for it is because they didn't not cure in time before some nasty weather came in unexpectedly and put some water lines inside the lens...everything is sealed fine now but the water marks were horrendous so i put the tint on to cover that up (that's the reason why the tinting looks darker than it really is)



as for the red lip i'm not a fan of that look since i don't have really anything red to contrast with it since i have tinting paint on the back lights...BUT this is to get a different look before i order some rims so who knows what i might do to tinker with these

 

looks good all blacked out.

 

I'm a fan Looks really good!

Did you use a clear coat?

 

i like it a lot! looks great. got any more pics of that spoiler? what kind is it?

 

thanks guys...as for the answers:

yes, i put 3 layers of clearcoat over them

as for the pics of the spoiler lemme dig up some old pics for ya..it's the blitz evo-r wing that you can get with or without the CF undertail








seeing some of these old pics makes me realize how far shes come :tear: lol

 

I like both the old look and the new. Good job

 

wow nice man, what brand paint did you use?

 

Your headlight - police pulled you over yet?

 

Car looks great. I was thinking of having my stockers painted black or gunmetal and putting spacers on. I can't seem to find any pictures of the OEM 17s with spacers though.

 

dupli-color high performance wheel paint that you can pick up at any autozone or auto care store

thanks!

haven't had a single problem yet..i've actually have had a cop compliment me!

and it looks darker than the tinting actually is because the housings are painted black...i put the tinting on after some water marks formed because the weather turned for the worse on me when they weren't finished curing

here ya go...this is what i'm going for as to spacer wise..i believe this setup is 20/25 front/rear

 

Thats pretty sweet with the spacers. Black stockers with spacers will be my alternative if I don't go aftermarket.

 

mo murder, looks nice. Definitely paint the door handles.

 

^^ and the front and rear emblems, looks good

 

Looks good, I would paint the door handles too. I kind of like how the nissan cap wasn't painted in the other pic. Since your going for an all black look it still works on yours too.

 

What exactly was the technique you used to paint?

 

thanks guys...as for painting the door handles i'm planning on doing that eventually but for the emblems i may or may not do that...possibly get the black pearl emblems:





as for the painting technique i used the DIY thread that's on here...didn't quite do it to the T but very similar, just didn't do 8 light coats, i did 3 light and 1 medium coat of satin black..then 3 light and 1 medium coat of the wheel clearcoat:
