Damn, nice lineup of TLs right there. Wish I could have come by to check out those wheels/hood and been the 5th one there. Me and Al could have come through even though he hates driving to Long Island, gas prices FTL. The only times I've seen that hood was when you pulled up next to me and at the meet but I never got a good look at it cuz I was late to the meet.

Mini-meet at Allon's house?!

I agree, smoked tails was Blackura status. If you do them on the UA7, it would be overkill on the contrast of the WDP/CF/Black roof. Do the roof up and figure out what to do with the trunk. But even still, like you said, doing the trunk might be too much like Accuratein. The roof would be hotness though. It would add class like the benz S550.

blackura, i still think smoking out your tails will look great for HIN.

that or a real led setup and clear everything out ....(but that takes alot of time.....)

anything to further stand out from the crowd is the point of HIN

just uh....good luck @ HIN ...them muscular manly models are always at NYC HIN...went twice and never again lol

Blackura...go for the black top. You can get it from BlueBatmobile.net. I've seen other posts that had his black top. It wasn't too difficult to put it on. Would look great and in time for HIN. By the way, what is HIN?

Instead of totally smoking out the tailights, I think you should get them tinted a little with the blue batmobile tints along with the mirror turn signals, think they look nice.

OUCH bad idea. That lip is clear coated, thats why you never saw black, you were too busy eating the clear off. Wash with soap and water, and use a paint polish and wax.

HIN stands for Hot Imports Night.

Blackura, it was a good thing you tested that on the backside of the wheel. Otherwise .

Looks hot!!! I am not a big fan of tinting the tails but painting the roof black would look good.

Another thing just came to mind...

I'm pretty sure Allon is going to paint his roof black instead of doing the vinyl; however, if someone does the vinyl and has it on for however long, say a year or so, and they decide they want to take it off, is it going to peel away at the paint?

How much will it cost you to paint your roof cause I can produce a black vinyl overlay for your roof possibly for cheaper.
