Warning....

Veggie, guys.....


Let me remind you that this IS a car enthusiast website. This thread, like many others, has turned into Ramblings-not a thread about a member's TL.


I don't mind you getting "off topic"-to a certain degree. But Veggie, what you posted is over the line.


Guys, keep it clean and sex toy free. Otherwise, vacations will be handed out, threads will be closed and rules will be more adhered to about conversations in the Photo Section.

AHHH...don't be closing ma dang thread! LOL.
Worst part for me is that on the browser at work, I can't even SEE what the heck Sean posted! That said, remember that weird naked guy picture I posted? I deleted it from PB so hoping it broke the link.

Anyway. I'll get some new pictures posted up soon enough. I'm really loving this one. I wish I could grab some rolling shots, man. I just don't like letting anyone drive my car, but I ALSO WANT to be the one to shoot my car.

For sure...
I know it...but didn't go back in the thread to confirm it.

Ok, to get back on topic. I'll post up different grill options to view. I always switch around so I took some shots of the silvers laid on top to get an idea.

This is the best of the three. Ever thought about a Type-S dark chrome grille conversion?

unless the viewer deletes the cache....I can still see that image because my browser caches everything LOL.....

Jeremy, either keep it the way it is or get the Type S Chrome Grille as John suggested....I think those are the only 2 options which look clean on a NBP....others look as if you ran outta paint....

MAS! What's up, man!?!? Hadn't heard from you in quite a while! Any updates in your thread I can look for?
Thank you very much! Yeah, kept convincing myself that I didn't need it, but now that I have it, I wonder how I managed for so long. I got a killer deal though...I must say. I am in LOVE with the RV6 true dual. Seriously...sounds amazing.

John, I have! I would have to look into how much it would cost. Betty kinda said hell no to it at one point...since it looks chrome, but it does look very good, especially the contrast without being too loud. I'll ask how much the grill would run me at Acura on Friday.

I agree, man...especially with all the other "blacked out stuff" I got going on.

me too. I thought about that conv. but always thought to myself it may outshine the finish of the wheels and don't match/clash. It may match yours better since its finish is bringing something to the all black. I also am murdered out but in to shades already. Blk & Gun metal... U know what I mean?

I'm a stickler for being able to reverse. Since I'm so fickle, I'd probably get the black chrome and then eventually miss the friggin blacked out grill.

If it's under $100 for a set of the 3 on the front, I'd consider it. At least no more rock chips with that option.

Do I now!??!
That's why I keep ALL my stock stuff.

How can I spray black chrome??!
Honestly, if I did it, I'd want it to not be able to be chipped.

^^^ umm polish it down and spray it with niteshade

PS: am not fucking with you....niteshade is the spray on tint for the headlights and stuff....when sprayed on polished pieces (like emblems) it gives the black chrome effect...

got it...
first, thanks Morgan for that camera rig post, you posted it while I was multi quoting and I didn't see it. GREAT information!

Anil...yeah, I'm very familiar with nightshades...actually, my first attempt at the headlights was nightshades on the amber diffusers and I also used it to make my own black chrome emblems. They come out spotty and also if you overdo too many coats...it turns black quickly. I did about 2.5 light coats to get the effect. It probably wouldn't chip much, because it's not a uniform solid layer that'll break with a rock.

I don't know...I think I'll leave it color matched or see how much the type s one is.

I helped a friend do one on Saturday, we actually just pushed the car. It's crazy how much goes into a rig. Here's what he got:

Ashley's heels are helping her appear to have a donk...you can just tell she's not into the "be sexy" poses. She looks mildly uncomfortable and like she's just trying to make the best of it.

No offense if it's your gf or mom or anything, Ty.
