Whatsup guys. I had the week off for spring break, and decided to get some car stuff outta the way. I got my 235/45-17 eagle gs-d3 f1s put on the stock wheels, got my ground kit and icebox installed, painted my engine cover and icebox gunmetal, and painted my wing and A on the front grille flat black along with my type s license that lost the paint from wear. I haven't seen anyone else who has painted their front grille black like this yet. I think it turned out real good. Tell me what you guys think. Be honest. Oh i also put some very small 3 inch silver neuspeed stickers on the back window. Flame away if you want, but i like em and you cant even see em past 10 feet. Here is my imagestation folder. Yes it requires a password. Hopefully someone can post them directly for me. Imagestation wont let you host.

thanx clpower. i really like how it turned out too. At first i was trying to think if i should just paint the wing and leave the a chrome, but i decided to just paint it. I was contemplating painting the back A black too. What you guys think. Leave the back A chrome or paint it flat black like the front.

I love the tread pattern, and the grip from these is a night and day difference from both the stocks and my set of dunlop sp sport 5000. I havent noticed any vibrations or anything. I was a little worried about that going with the 235/45.

I wouldn't sweat it.
Especially when those fockers look so damn good.

thanks for posting them for me chap. I appreciate it. I noticed after lookin at my pics that it seems the pin stripe i have from the dealer stands out alot more than in person. removing that will be my next project. Do i just need some paint reducer, put it on a towel, and rub it on the stripe to remove, or is there more too it. A shop said theyd do it for like 60 bucks, but id rather do it myself as long as i dont fuck up the paint. Will it make a difference if there is zaino over the stripe??

I had pin stripes on my beater. I just peeled them off and used goo gone to get the residue off. Looked fine afterwards. Nice pics too!

Oh yea, that matters. Not sure how you'd get them off if they're painted. You may want to leave it up to a shop. At least that way, if they screw up, they're accountable.

I really like the engine covers color. But I don't know about the A being black. If the car was anthracite or black it would look hot. That's just me
What paint did you use????

I've never been able to figure out whether the resonance I hear when I stop on the gas at low rpms in 3/4/5 are from my icebox or headers (since they were installed at the same time). But it's definitely noticable.

If it doesnt, then i can just sand it down and repaint. I also am probably gonna get a grile tech grile when they are available. Post a pic if you got one.
