I tried making the eyelid pearl white, looked goofy lol, and since you have nice orange accents, and forced to run the front plate, figured it would fit. Im going to be doing mine almost exactly like that, except gunmetal grey on the projector instead of white. I have to wait till next year, or pay up $400. No point since I can do it myself.

White lid, gunmetal projector:


mirrored:

 

Chrome projector ring, and maybe black maybe chrome on the turn-signal ring. No LED mods, and either the eyelid painted the same as the housing, or amber.

Not sure about painting the side-marker, or leaving it alone too. Your first shop was the best, IMO.

Thanks for playing.

 

ive seen someone do main projector chrome, and the eyelid chrome. With the right lighting, looks like an eye.

But based of what you said, here, i slapped on an old PS Light I did a while back as a mockup for my own. Basically what you described.



P.S. Im really bored at home right now, so if you have any ideas you want me to visualize, throw them at me lol.

 

Just beautiful!

 

Haha, thanks. I've got passable shop skillz, too, but haven't done what you did here yet. Looks great. Although you cleared the turn signal... I won't be doing that.

Essentially:

• Gunmetal housing
• Chrome projector ring (unpainted)
• Chrome turn-signal ring (unpainted), *or* gunmetal... haven't decided.
• OEM turn-signal lens (not cleared)
• Amber side marker (unpainted), *or* gunmetal... haven't decided
• Amber eyelid (swinging back to the "like" column, LOL)

 

Im excited to see what you decide on. White G with dark lights looks so menacingly gorgeous. Makes me wish more and more I didnt go for OB lol.

 

Well, it's going to be a while, so don't get too excited.

That mod is tentatively planned for 2017, which is when I'm also planning on swapping out my R2C intake for the Takeda long-tube setup. I figure to remove the front bumper for both, so they could happen at the same time. However, I might get curious before then, and experiment with dropping the front bumper just for the skills. We'll see. In any event... 2017 is the likely target.

I've got mods all lined up for 2016:

• 4.083 rear gears
• Rear diff bushings
• LED fogs
• Short throw shifter
• Transmission mount
• Undercarriage shroud
• 4 new snow tires

And for 2017:

• 4 new PSS summer tires (if needed)
• Front Camber arms
• Front CO and Camber arm install
• Takeda Long-tube intake
• Motordyne M370 UIM
• UpRev Tune
• Headlight Assembly customization

I try to keep plans around $3000/year, and that's how the next two years are looking so far. But nothing is written in stone, and things can change at any time.

 

the shop that was doing my springs had a takeda they ordered for a client that didnt show up, I was so tempted to buy it....... Only thing that stopped me was that they didnt have a rain guard for it lol. They had a 2013 coupe in the shop the owner gave me a ride in while waiting for my install with the takeda long tube.... sounds beautiful.

 

I didn't get the rain guard and I've not had any issues with it. Plenty of automated carwashes, touchless washes, and some serious rain storms. Just fyi!

 

Lol, don't do this to me, I barely got out of there with my wallet intact. They had awd sway bars in stock too, and 3 different exhaust systems that would fit the awd.

 

It's a sign from above!

 

Wait... you don't have aftermarket sways?

 

you have no idea what a pain in the *** it is to find them in canada lol. I know now where to get them locally, but planning to do the install myself, it will have to wait for spring or whenever its warm enough for me to take it up to the cottage and climb under. Or ill jump the gun in the next month and rent a shop for a few hours....

 

hexotic, I've got a Takeda rain shield that I won't be using... Living in California I don't need the shield. Good price, and I'll ship to Canada... *hint hint, nudge nudge*

 

lol, i love and hate you all
