OK so I've been excited to share my dealings with the GREAT CREW at 180 Custom (ONEighty) in Brooklyn. Alex, Artem, and everyone there were amazing throughout the whole process and I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to get work done. We tried some new things and played around with a teal accent for the headlights and wheels and it came out awesome in my opinion. Some will love it, some will hate it, but I love it. Excited to hear feedback. Hoping for some G of the Month nods.....

G of the month nomination please??? Here are pics.

 

If you want GOTM that badly, I don't believe there is a rule against nominating yourself...

 

I like the color scheme I think its the perfect amount of color and it's not too bright and not too dark, I think it looks really good!

Way to represent for the X community now I know where my car good go if I put my parts on it, I got my TS lip and sport bumper just looking to get it molded, how come you didn't mold yours?

 

HA - Good point.

 

seriously jealous hows the exotic speed sound you make me want to dump 10k into my car!

 

Gonna need some to shine them tires if you wanna nomination

 

Pin-stripe is too much IMO... did 180 charge you an arm and a leg for that work?

 

Thanks! ExoticSpeed sounds OK, too loud with HFC. I'm seriously considering buying the new ARK Exhaust for AWD

HA - Yes. I will do that before June GOTM, was excited to post up some pics. I saw your new wheels Fairlady, they were SICKKK

No - they were very reasonable

 

looks good man. That Ark for the awd souinds great

 

Not bad.

 

Just my opinion, the pinstriping on the wheels is too much. You technically have 3 colors on the wheel, way too much going on there. Teal is one of those colors that looks good when it is subtle and no overly done. I also don't like the headlights with the teal on them. And this is just my personal thing, I hate tinted and blacked out tails. It makes it harder for the other drivers behind you to see when you are braking.

 

Agreed! Car is nice but the teal TA stripe on the wheels is not.

 

I think the teal matches the calipers which in itself is a good scheme for anyones car especially when it is surrounded with all black colors.

I think the headlights are barely noticeable until you get up close, the whole projector isn't teal, if it was I think that would stand out as too much, and it being tinted makes it so subtle it isn't noticeable until its up close

if the pinstripe wasn't there it would just be teal calipers where would the offset be? the tiny slots on the projector? I don't think that would be enough offset for the teal color I think its a perfect combination

 

Thanks man! Ill have to make it up to NY one of these nights for a meet, u see them at a show or just the pics?

 

It looks nice but i dont like the pinstripe on the wheels
