New Pics of Rims and Tires on Car (2/6/06):

Sorry the pics were taken at night .. so they arent that good .. and the night shot thing on my camera is shaky .. ill post more tomorrow from the daytime .. but my car will be in the shop as of tomorrow to get the kit fitted and installed .. so it will look different then this in a few days .. cant wait ..





well there ya go .. i also need some advice on the color scheme of my car .. my car is black cherry pearl .. i have the bronze rims on .. calipers will be painted black .. front grilles that are black .. gonna try to get gold decals .. and try to place them tastefully on the body or on the windows .. im gettin a carbon fiber hood eventually that has the sloping sides of the hood painted body color .. i wanna get a dc sports strut brace .. and i also wanna paint my engine cover bronze or BCP .. not sure .. i just joined my friend JOE@DEZOD's club "DECEPTIVE ILLUSIONZ" .. we are gonna be at Hot Import Nights at the Bayside Expo on April 29th .. im also goin to the Scion VIP event at F1 Boston in Braintree on Feb 25th, should be fun .. alright .. give me some feed back .. ill definitely be postin pics as soon as i get the stuff on and in my car .. peace

 

no to putting gold emblems on your car. rims and everything else will look good. i think cf hoods look better when the sides arent painted but to each their own

 

look forward to seein it all on the car... Congrats

 

i agree w/ the emblem .. just goin plain black painted grille .. and about the C/F hood painted .. i think it will look more fitted to the lines of the car .. less like a seperate unpainted body piece .. but .. like u said .. too each their own ..

 

very nice. you are doing the same things to your car as i want to do to mine.
hurry and put the rims and body kit on i want pics!!!
i want ot know how they will look on the BCP.

 

Look forward to seeing it complete. I think the gold decals may look decent, I would test one out and see if you like it. But it would go with the theme of the bronze rims.

 

here are 2 current pics of my car (before the winter)




if you were interested in what it looks like now ..

 

It's going to look like a whole new car!

Can't wait to see the new kit all mounted and purty. Good stuff.

 

just my .2 cents....Gold decals will throw off the Bronze rims. if you were to go with Gold rims, it would look better with the gold decals. The BC2 kit looks awesome by the way. Good selection.

 

the bronze rims look almost gold .. and i may be able to get decals that are the same color as the rims .. from a site called instylegraphics.com .. dunno what range of colors they have .. but yeah .. i wanna try to match the rims as close as possible .. the question is .. how should i arrange the decals .. any suggestions?

 

If you can match the decals, then I say go for it!

 

love the wheels ....also i think i can help some on the color scheme and keepin it clean...if thats what you goin for. I would def lose all the decals on the window and tint them i would say like 20 %...its gonna look super clean..also i would think about getting the stock tail lights or keep the new ones and hittin up blubatmobile for some dark 20% overlays to match those windows...i wouldnt go with the gold emblems...unless they perfectly match the wheels then keep it simple and small ....

just my .02 then again you might want somethin totally diff, but i think it would be hot

Good luck man

 

hows the quality of the body kit? ive been thinking about this kit lately

 

i would say the quality is pretty good .. but i dont have too much experience w/ fiberglass body kits .. i only found minor imperfections .. nothin too much to deal with .. i would say all in all .. im very satisfied w/ the product .. cant wait to see it go on ..

 

looks good, cant wait to see it at the next meet

 

looks good man!

 

first off .. i like the TYC tails .. so im keepin them .. i may eventually do a red overlay .. not sure .. 2nd .. new hampshire law says i cant tint my driver and passenger windows .. so thats why ive been holdin off on tintin the rear 3 .. i know ill do it eventually, and i also think that NH doesnt let ya tint yer tails either .. or fronts for that matter .. 3rd .. i wasnt thinkin of changing my emblems (i wont have any in the front when the bumper is gone) .. but yeah .. if i can find the right color for the decals (or close to it) .. i was gonna put a few on the body .. i just wanted some input on where to put them ..

 

cant wait to see some finished pics?! The kit looks nice! when do you plan to have this complete?

 

cant see the pics...?
