damn Gina... its looking good. nice wheel choice too

 

looks good, I think bronze wheels would have also looked real sweet with your bronze stars. Its kinda hard to see the lines of the body kit in black though. Looks good.

 

Is it me or does the kit look like its another color than the car itself...? Definatly look a lot shinier..

But other than that. Car is looking good tho. Keep up the work. The gold stars are actually appealin on the car with the color and rims. Looks good.

Please post up some daylight pics outside to help us drool a lil better =)

 

actually ur right ^^^^^^^^^ that is some pretty crappy ___ color matching!!!

 

^^ what he said! Time for a new exhaust too, duals perhaps? Oh yeah bronze wheels woulda been tite too

 

umm, guys i think she's got a carbon fiber hood and hatch. that would explain the off color of those, but i do see some differences in the fender color. maybe they ran out of turtle wax before they got to the fender..??

 

agree 100%... did you have a colorblind paint specialist do that?! hopefully that's not the finished product...

 

the color is matched fine.. its actually factory pack paint.. but it hasnt been color sanded or buffed out because it was done way too close to the day of the show and the weather had been pretty crappy the days following it getting painted... and yes it is a cf hatch and cf hood!! remember guys it was at a car show, hot import NIGHTS... the lighting isnt that great.. if u see the car in person it matches fine... the light reflects differently on the fenders then the kit because of the angles.. so i didnt have a "colorblind paint specialist" (given the fact that a paint machine actually mixes the paint FYI smash... dont know how its done in VA). I'll post some pics of it during the day... so its not a finished product yet still gotta color sand and buff it out!!

 

why did you change the rims??

 

i'll be gettin the reverbs back... but in 18's... the 19's are cool but dont care too much for the rubbing when i go over bumps... plus i like the goldies better ;)

 

Hey Gina,

Good pics, personally I like the new rims even though they dont match, they still look good with the Carbon Hood and Hatch. And before they said anything about the color, they should have asked if you were running certain CF parts, i.e. Hood and Hatch. Keep up the good work, we know your car is a work in progress.


PS. Im gonna jack your pics for our site, lol.

 

I agree with the color difference. I guess it wouldnt look too terrible but the CF throws in another color so ya....


Nice car though. I give you all the props!
And put the "goldies" back on lol

 

The hood and hatch have nuthin to do with the color beeing different from the fender, door, and rear quarter!!!!Clearly you can see its a c/b hood and hatch. I already knew that just by lookin at it.

And also if you think that wetsanding and buffing it, is gonna make it look like a different color. I think.. in FACT.. I know thats not possible. The only thing your gonna do when its wetsanded and buffed is your gonna remove the orange peel in the paint ( which all paint has till wetsanded and buffed no matter how good you are. You always get a little) And it looks like the rest of the car should be wetsanded and buffed to get the swirl marks out from washing it.. ( the worst on dark cars) That will help tone in the colors a little better. Because the paint is fresh and prolly hasnt been washed yet or many times. Meaning there are not erally any swirl marks yet which will make it look like its a lot shinier than the rest of the car. That could be what we are MISTAKING it for. But im not sure. From the picture it def. looks a lot darker

But overall. Still looks hot and im not talkin crap. I was voicing my opinion. Just keep up the good work.

And as far as the angle stuff goes.. Where the fender meets the front bumper. They are the same angle. Therefore would make it the same color as the bumper. Which would in turn. fade the color as it got farther from the bumper, Since the lines change as is goes to the rear of the car. And that would be the same as for the rear bumper. EX: Take anything shiny that is breakable. Break it into 2 pieces. Then hold the 2 pieces like its not broke. The color wont be the same. And the angle will be the same.. Just like the bumper meeting the fender/ or rear quarter panel.

 

that's great.. it could still be a different shade of black is all i'm sayin.

 

well heres a pic taken in the daylight... looks like it matches to me on here.

 

The kit screams intercooler! Turbo the bia.

 

I think it would look 400% better if that lower portion of the front lip would be removed. (The one that sticks out at the very bottom...)

 

hell yeah, that sucka looks like a snow plow! much better without it

 

well i never have to worry about going through some snow
