Was thinking about trying this:

DIY: Burnt Blue Titanium Exhaust Tips (Anodizing Titanium) - MY350Z.COM Forums

Edit: The AP2 tips are steel right? Nvm

iCrap

I actually dunno what they are made of. But if they are aluminium or titanium then i wanna do that also

probably steel tho

VR1

If I have some time this weekend I'll try it out.

cu2wagon

99% sure they're steel.

VR1

For those of you lowered, will I have any problems DD'ing with a 1.3 drop? Have to deal with Houston roads..

iCrap

i dont think 1.3 in drop is gonna be a problem. the car is so high up stock lol

Jaheri_cbp

Soooo high... Can't wait for my struts to go so I can upgrade...

VR1

Alright cool, just picked up some eibach pro kit

iCrap

whered you get em / how much?

VR1

Amazon. Have a bunch of giftcards lol

ulrblitzer

<p></p><p>word. I was looking at them too. Found them for $225</p>

iCrap

finally done lol



Just have to trim that edge on the top one

cu2wagon

Nice!

That looks pretty slick!

VR1

cf vinyl? Red looks sick.

ssjoeboe9

YES FINALLY These are gunna look pretty sweet! I'm kinda excited actually haha

opboarding

Why are they pink?

cu2wagon

It attracts the ladies?


That's about as red as EL will get. That range of the color spectrum is difficult to hit, mos of the time red requires a colored overprint which cuts down on the light transmission. So it's a fine trade between "redness" and "brightness".

Since you are making these can you whip me up a quick pair? Thanks.

ssjoeboe9

Actually... icrap and I can do more.. but we havent worked out the details and monies yet.. obviously cheaper by the number of people who order them.

opboarding

Joe just give me yours since you are leaving us for Subaru.

ssjoeboe9

We will see what my wife says.. working on a trade right now.

iCrap

I'm gonna post up a little diy thing on how to do it. Although i'm sure most people don't have access to a laser cutter though...

There is one at my school they said i could use if i bring my own material, so i might just make a couple that way if people want.


also yeah they look pinkish in the picture but they are a little more red IRL. They are BRIGHT too. My blue ones are even brighter tho.

I'll probably sell the other set if anyone wants. I want to remake another set in brushed aluminium. (that is, if the cutter can even do aluminium)
edit: aww damn it cant

xtcnrice

damn would've been interested in the brushed aluminum

cu2wagon

Try a sign / vinyl shop. A blade cutter might be able to handle it. The aluminum isn't very thick and I bet they could handle with their automate cutter.

no wonder why you were able to answer my color and laser question.
the fuck are you? some kind of rocket scientist?

cu2wagon

Haha. Yep. cu2wagonspace. . has a nice ring to it.

I have some experience with Electroluminescent lamps from a past life. And, actually, we did have a laser cutter for prototype jobs.

I retain a little bit of knowledge every now and then. Regardless of how big a moron I might seem at times.

Cool shit!

cu2wagon

Although, EL is pretty much dead now (and also why I don't get paid to do it anymore!). LED is superior in like 99% of the cases. Something like this project is the 1%.

That said, I have a supersecret plan to try and do this same thing with LED. But that's not exactly a "time-friendly" venture so for now iCrap & Joeboe's project is The Way™.

Maybe in 10 or 15 years when there are no more TSXs on the road, I'll finally have my way done...

i had to look up what EL is.


I havent seen any EL products since I threw out my alarm clock.

iCrap

imo EL sucks, but for this it was kinda the only way.
