Speaking of, I did get around to debadging the car. I took my sweet time with this, I cut, polished, and waxed her real good. Had a good amount of ghosting at first, needless to say after the orbiter was put up, not a spec of ghosting anywhere. Looks 100x better. Now debating on weather to buy another rear emblem and maybe go the black chrome look and also lower the Fuji so its more in line with the trunk lines




I was researching for a couple hours last night on ceramic coating, I think i'm going to give it a shot in the near future here before the weather gets out of hand and it melts everything

 

It takes some courage to remove that little red S.

 

Tell me about it! But looks so much cleaner now

 

Well... yes. But now it's so obviously off-balance that is screams, "I modded my car by removing badges!"

Move the Fuji down. /problemsolved

 

Car is looking amazing!!

 

AHHHH!!!


That's like removing the ///M badge. No idea why you would do that! I'm so proud of my "S"


Ok, "///M" is a bit much but close as we can get.


Still a beautiful car however.

 

Thank you

I like the analogy, yes it was hard to do, but so worth it at this point.

Havent looked yet, but will be getting a new rear emblem to place lower on the trunk. The question is.....what color should I go? The window trim and fog rings will wrapped in gloss black sooner than later

 

Painted gunmetal like your wheel color would look nice.

 

Brad very funny that you mention that...that was my initial plan last year with the 7at . However, these wheels will either be changing colors or i'll be going with a whole different setup.


Heres what I was going to go with last year

 

Sounds like you've got a bit on your plate right now, probably a good idea to hold off on teh emblem color until you get other pieces figured out. Saw that post about possible upcoming wheel choice, sounds like you're going aggressive w/ the fit, are you sure about that?

 

I am not set on those wheels. I have been looking for some Volk SF Winning wheels for about a year now with zero luck. Happened to come across some Volk GT-7's that are in immaculate shape. They were actually on a G vert that was on air. I know a +24 is very aggressive for sedans, but I also know its not something that cant be pulled off correctly. Just not sure I want to venture down that road in order to do so.

The guy is located in Jacksonville and is having a buddy with a sedan thats on coils test fit them to give me a visual of fitment.


Obviously faces would not stay blue

 

^^^
But on a Blue Slate...

 

Well after seeing a test fit of these wheels on another sedan, the rear is just not going to work unless I pulled the fenders and stretched the tires and I'm not bout that life. The search continues

 

Have fun w/ the search, are you wanting a 2 piece or is forged monoblock also on the menu?

 

Nope strictly 2 or 3 piece at this time. No more mono for me
