Dnovz41's Build Thread!
 

A lot of great stuff has been happening to my car lately, and I wanted to quickly share!

Current Mods:
Avant Garde M580 wheels in a 2-tone bespoke 3 finish. Avant Garde's bespoke finishing program is incredible. They do amazing work from a creative and quality standpoint. A huge thank you goes to Jason at getyourwheels.com for the fitment advice, taking care of my order, and being a great contact point for the sale. They're 19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +45. Wrapped in 245x40x19 and 275x35x19 Hankook K120 Evo2s. Fit perfectly without any rubbing, and won't hit the fender on the bounce. Wasn't going for a poke/stretch look, and he nailed it based on what I was looking for.

KW Variant 1 Coilovers. Shoutout for these goes to Alan at www.modbargains.com. Alan@modbargains.com. Alan did an incredible job setting up my order, researching whether or not these would fit on my car, and getting them to me fast. They got to me in under a week, and Alan followed up to make sure they got shipped out quickly when there was a processing order. Alan knows suspensions very well, and was a great resource. If you're looking for coilover advice, give him a call. Very responsive, fair pricing, great vendor.

Vinyl Work: I wrapped my trim, lettering, logos, and outside of my grille in 3M brushed titanium from AutoVinylSolutions. I wrapped the inside of my grille and trunk lip in gloss black 3M 1080 vinyl from the same. I did this work myself, and referenced Brad's guide on here. It was simple to do the trim, the rest was tricky but very doable!

Installation/Alignment. Shoutout for the work goes to Smokey's Dyno and Performance in Akron OH. Smokey's Performance | Parts & Accessories Nate was a great contact point there, and the guys at the shop have a true passion for cars. High quality work, nothing less at this place.

Pics!
I don't have many yet, will be taking some better ones in the near future (when it stops storming up here), but here are a few!

Lastly, I'm not sure if it's possible to tag vendors in here, but if it is, I'd like to know how to tag Alan from ModBargains and Jason from GetYourWheels because those guys gave sound advice, I would recommend any of you to talk to them, and I would work with both again in the future!

Moved to the build folder.
Great job, and you're putting money in all the right places!
Nice to hear you've had good vendors along the way.
Look forward to what you've got going, keep it up :biggthumpup:

You nailed it on the rims. Excellent choice. Looks great.

Oh, and definitely need more shots of the unique trim/grill vinyl, you're trying awesome new stuff that we NEED to see :)

Thank you for the kind words guys, and for moving this to the right place Brad! I edited the post with more pics of the trim, grille, and back. Your DIY for the trim was very helpful, and I used it as a building black to do the rest. I will also be wrapping the fog light housings black!

Yes sir, Your wheels are spot on with your trim work. :28:

Thank you! I decided to mix it up a little with the look, and am pretty happy with the way things turned out!

Looks freakin incredible Daniel!
Love the brushed grigio faces paired with the brushed gunmetal trim, perfect combo and not something you see often. Great job on trying something new

Thanks for your support! Enjoy the wheels and let me know if you needed anything else ;)

I totally agree. Wheels are lookin sweet bro!

Gives off a different kind of look on overcast days, very dark-looking

Wow it really does change the look! They look sweet both ways but stunning in the light.

I'm partial to the light too, shows off the true color of the brushed grigio much better!

Thats the money shot! Looks awesome man

So what's your future mod plans

Next up would probably be airflow mods. Long tube CAI, RHFCs, Cat-back, etc. And a tune once all those bolt on. Brakes are due for an upgrade, and I will probably do those when the OEMs get some more mileage on them since I don't necessarily need sport brakes due to how I drive it, but they'd look a lot better than standards with the current set-up. I'm not sure if I'll get into body kit modifications, skirts, bumpers, lips, etc since I live in an area where scraping would be a serious problem, and I daily it so it wouldn't be the most practical choice!
