I took these pictures right when I got home to my camera. It was about 20 minutes until sunset so the lighting is absolutely terrible. I will be taking more pics tomorrow in the middle of the day to do the car justice. I know I'm not lowered. My H-Techs are sitting in my back seat. I will be installing them soon...as well as installing my amp and components, shifter cable bushings, clear bra, tinted taillights, and an LED swap. My next purchase is Strup exhaust and wheels. :) Many, many plans ahead. Now, without further ado, my car:
And, a quick pic of my double-vented CF hood from 1FastScion...Hurry and go hop on that deal!!!

Lovin the hood! Does it have a rain guard?
RoswellScion
10-28-2006, 10:06 PM
It doesn't have a rain guard but the vent is right over the top of the radiator and the manifold. Worst thing it can really do right there is cool down the manifold and radiator.
Also...added some new pics. :)

not really feeling the white strip, but the sparkle blacks a hot color, but why not paint the side mirrors too?

I dont care for the white strip or your Scion emblem that just looks awful but the rest of it looks real good, nice color choices. I think after a good drop and some wheels it will set it off.

The stripe is actually silver. Its a silver that matches a polished lip.
The Scion emblem isn't clean because it was the last thing we unmasked and that is why it looks poor right now.
My drop is on the way.
Wheels and SC are the next steps.

WOW, I love it! 5 stars. My only complaint... The mirrors.
spECIal
10-30-2006, 03:49 PM
ride is nice!!!
but yea, tint the mirrors and the tailights.
i also think it woulda been better wit jus a black vinted hood, not CF.
but either way, ____ is still nice :)

just my two cents..... you should get some black eylelids to match the paint, this will create a nice line. and a black matching vented hood would have been great instead of cf. car looks great.

I have the H-Techs sitting at my feet right now. I'm just waiting to install them.
Also, the eyelids are a good suggestion. I will think about that one. Thanks for all the compliments.

I thought the top color was Flint Mica????
RoswellScion
01-10-2007, 11:25 PM
Top color is not flint mica...It is closer to BSP but with much more flake in it. I will update this post with more pictures when I wash it.
I lowered it and added dark smoke overlays to the taillights, third brake light, and side mirror blinkers over the weekend. (Also got new gauges but they are already in ICE & Int.)

that billet grill IMO needs to be powdercoated black or somehting but i like it

Love the paint - well done.
As for me, I like the CF OEM style hoods - the one you have is too top-heavy, IMHO, but still, nice job man!

how much did the paint job cost? it looks good. but i have to agree with the rest about the mirrors.
RoswellScion
01-11-2007, 10:15 PM
The paint job and hood only cost me $700 out of pocket. :) :) :)
The total damage was $5,7xx from a tornado/hail storm. The first tornado ever in Las Cruces(where I was at the time). I got my insurance to pay for all of it. The insurance company also said to buy some parts that the body shop said they didn't need because the dents were easy enough to fix so I got credit back from that. It took a long time to sort it all out but it was WELL worth it.
Also, I'm looking into the CF mirrors from FirmwareWorx...But that will be after the wheels, nav, and performance. :)

I will have pics up as soon as the rain stops and I can clean her up. If it doesn't stop...I guess I'll just post it up all dirty and wet. :)
