Getting her back to her old self again and the same time bringing her back better!

Have done a few new mods to her this past week.
Let me know what ya think.

- Color Matched Wheels
- Color Matched Engine Cover
- Tinted Tails
- Silver Painted Calipers
- Tinted Fogs
- 6000k HID bulbs

 

And here is how I did the fog lights. I had a lot of left over 20% tint and it was a quick mod

Just took some patience to get it juuust right!

Started out doing one side...




Then the other....



When lights are on...



I think it looks good in the daylight since it blends right into the color of the bumper

 

Looks really good. Pics of whole car?

 

looks nice. get some matchin fogs

 

I'll get some pics of the whole ride when it's clean. Lately I've been trying to do mods and forgetting to give it a good detail!

I thought of matching fogs. But light output is better with 3400k lights. Halogen color.

 

jess, are you ever gonna paint your headlights gray luster? imo i think they would look sick.

 

I've opened em once and don't really want to open em again. Scarreeddd. Have seen a few and done a few painted headlights for people. Never really liked that style

Edit: It does go with my theme however. Grey + Silver theme.

 

I like the fogs, looks sweet as hell when they are off.

 

everything looks good. is that batmobile overlays on your tail lights?

 

Looks spectacular, esp. the HIDs.

 

looking great man, like the lil mod.Change ur fog bulbs now.GJ overall.

 

Yeah "man" Looks great!

Glad she's back in one piece.

 

we should trade grilles

...looks nice. What happened to your lip?

 

Had em professionally tinted and cleared over.

Lip was taken off since when I had it on during the heatwave the paint started to crack. It was all in the area where it was hit during the accident. Didn't really want to repaint a small scuff that was there! It looked fine before being exposed to the outside so I'm repainting it today.

The fogs actually have been changed out with diamond colored halogens. They're rainbowy lol which I thought was kewl.

 

just noticed you got rid of your nissan plates. looks so much cleaner.

 

The brakes look sweet and the color matching is killer
nice 5th gen

 

Very nice. I like the color matching. Can't wait to see full car pics with the color matched wheels!

 

After she gets a bath lol really dirty at the moment from not being washed in forever.

Tuesday I plan to do a detail cleaning and RE-doing my rear spacers. (long story is one stud broke)

Still need to do coilovers...and polish out the lips.

I have 2 finished lips and 2 sanded lol, but I shoulda just left them the same.

 

+1 needs some full car pics.....but the color matching is done very nicely

 

looks very good jess. . .

 

wow I love your engine cover! Its so glossy and purrty!

 

Will post pics tomorrow night. I just got the front lip installed, coilovers, and rear spacers.

Still need to give her a good cleaning and polish out the wheels more.

She is looking "very niiice"

 

Looking good JESS !!! like the brakes and the tint on the fogs

 

I think that matching FOGS would make the car look better too, but then again, just an opinion

 

Car looks great Jess.

A few questions:

Are you painting your wheels/engine cover/etc by yourself or at a shop? They look great.

The tint on the fogs, is this like window tint or Lamin-X? I like the look, but if its like window tint, wouldn't it be shining through the blocking side?

Good job on removing those nissan plates, they looked nice but too redundant! Again, everything looks awesome!

Edit: Noticed your tires, [borat] great success! [/borat]

 

Any pictures yet Jess?

 

I'll get some pics today for ya guys. LoL Just been at NOPI all weekend it was a blast!

I used window tint lol it was just something I had lying around. Thing is that I hardly ever use my fogs so I thought it was a cool look. For use though the light output is a little bit affected, but not too much.

The color matched paint was done by a friend of mine who uses an air gun.

 

Hey just real quick question...where did u get ur HID's from? I like the lights, they look good and they are nice and blue. Im just confused on whether to get 6k or 8k, but after looking at ur pics, ur 6k look blue enough

 

Got them from the group deals section. They've got the best price. $60 shipped for a pair. "operatic" is his .org name.

 

Okie well here we go. A pic from NOPI!

I was parked on a sliiiight incline so it looks higher than it is.

Will take my own pics soon lol I know it's taking me a while.

 

^^^Lookin' good. What's the Specs on those wheels.

I'm about to trade my Sportmaxs for that exact model 19" Privat.

 

I can't remember what offset they are. I believe 40 offset 19x8.

You just got some rims and you're gonna change out again? LoL

Ah well at least I'll be the only 5.5 gray lustre with color matched privat reserv wheels

1 more NOPI pic from NICO club.

 

^^^^It looks great!! I really like the color matched wheels

 

Haha, I won't copy you there.

Do you have spacers in the back? It's hella flush.

 

You got that right lol Before it was really in there. Definitely looks better, if I was dropped with coilovers then I would've done 20 - 25 mm spacers. There's still a lot of room.

 

I got 20's.

I suggest getting 25's and stretching the tires a bit to fit them.

 

I do like the stretched tire look...but I've got the best luck with getting nails in my tires lmfao. 2x's this year.

Wanted to win something for nopi...so I gotta step it up for next year. But I've got the car the way I want it to look lol.

 

That's good to know - there's always next time.

Was that your first show?

 

Yep first show ever! Any tips?

 

Well since your're a female you can macky macky with the judges - can't really do that - I think I'd get socked in the face. hahahaha just kidding.


Use lots of tire shine - make sure car is clean - if you got Coilovers you can dump it to the ground before they start judging. Other than that, it's all up to how your car is presented.
