Well, I don't think I've ever really shown full-body pics of my car to my fellow CL'ers yet. I finally found the family digi cam and went and shot a few quick ones. Unfortunately, I was stopped short as it started drizzling when I pulled up to this spot. So I had to jump out and snap a few quick ones, hence the not-so-cool angles and what not.

I hate how cameras can never catch the true color of headlights (Mine are Crystal Purple and look SCHWEET with the Inza Red/Black scheme), and your car never looks as low as it is in real life either... Oh well, I'm gonna wash my car (Cuz its also dirty, as you can see those damn dirt tracks from construction haha) and take better pics on a sunny day. Anyway, here goes nothin... (By the way, I love how every site randomly resizes pics when I upload them... ) The first pic is the true color of my car. The last couple look more pinkish, I hate when that happens.












Wheels: 18" Drag DR-11 Gloss Black w/ Nankang NS-2 Sport 225/40/18 Tires

Suspension: D2 Coilovers (Big ups to wakeboardfusion Still fiddlin with the height)

To Do:
- Match Skirts w/ Inza Red Paint
- Paint Brake Calipers Inza Red
- Dynamat Entire Trunk


Someone needs to sell me their black housing headlights, too..lol I'm not one to take chances on stuff like that. I'm too much of a wuss to take mine off and start baking em and prying them apart.. I'd pay someone a nice chunk of money plus give them my headlights, to whoever's interested...

Lookin beautiful, I think you should paint the lips and skirts black to give the contrast. Red would look good, black looks really good with your tint and wheels IMO though

klepto

loving the rims, dump it!

subbuzz

Thanks for all the feedback, fellas. I'm not satisfied with these quick pics. I think tomorrow I'm gonna go find a better spot and hopefully it will be sunny. As for some comments...

Yeah, at the very end of my first post to begin this thread, I mentioned that I'm not too confident in painting my housings. I just fear messing up or breaking something and be headlight-less, haha. I'd be willing to Paypal someone a nice amount of money to send their black housing headlights first, and then as soon as I received them, I'd take mine out and ship them over to you on the same day. If you're good at the black housing project, this could be some easy money for you.

And yeah, there's a local speed shop that I've become a frequent customer at and they offer tint film that can go over headlights. I dunno if I want to put anything over my headlights because I don't want anything affecting the output of my HIDs (Since I already have a tinted windshield as well), but I'm definitely thinking about asking them to put a charcoal/black tint over my clear corners.

Yep.. haha... Cops arent TOO bothered about tints here in St. Louis. An absolute TON of people have 5% all around, and now I'm seeing more and more people with tinted windshields *knocks on wood immediately*...


Here's a pic of the rims from WheelMax.com. Their pic is the most detailed over any other website...



I'll make sure to take an up-close photo of the wheels when I hopefully take pics tomorrow afternoon.

I've actually thought about this recently. I just figured if the skirts were Inza Red, it would make the car seem even lower. Because right now the skirts get lost in the shadows and the car doesn't appear as low as it really is. But when I've washed my car in the past, I've used tire shine along the plastic skirts and it gives it a deep black finish that looks real nice.



Oh yeah, and Klepto...you should make Distinctiv_Tuning nationwide! I wouldn't mind a decal across the top of my windshield. The speed shop I spoke of earlier gave me stickers to throw on my car to somewhat promote their shop, but they look You're decal is extra classy and

h2o-pr00f

i cant get over that, puts my 5% to shame

klepto

haha DT chapters would be crazy youd need a pimp group of cars in one certain area

subbuzz

damn just noticed the tinted winshield that's hot. i get harassed with my 5% anyway i'm goin for it!!!!btw this is one of the few cl's that the unpainted skirts don't bother me. i think it actually adds contrast and character.i think blackhousings and black f/r ww lips would look sick....

abouelmm

if the cl's were to ever have a beauty pageant you would definately be a good contender for 2nd place after me ofcourse
and i dont know why but what do you think about gettng an oem spoiler??
and im with buzz^ blacked out headlights would look good
