Got my L painted- misc of different stages-56k beware

Post by HomeSlice »

Finaly got her painted. :D im happy with the end result. painting everything makes the car look newer. i still need the jdm side skirts and rear bumper and apron from uk. i just got a hold of a jdm bumper beam so i can install the jdm rs spotties. well here is my car at different stages.
my mods are on my webpage.
Cheers,
Jim

wow, looks really nice. What level of tint did you get for your car? Also, did you finish putting the turbo in now? What muffler do you have on the end of your exhaust? Also, what is that red brake light thing under your bumper on the right of your car? How much was the paint job? Sorry for all the questions. :)

Lookin good, I like the liberty trunk. But me personally I would've left the pillars between the windows black. Still looks a lot better without the bike rack on top :D

I like all the painted trim. Looks a lot newer. I should've done the mirrors, grille, and black side molding when I had mine painted. Looks good.

i have 15% all around. i was wishing i went 32% in the front but oh well. it is nice and dark. :D the turbo is coming soon. i recently got laid off and another job didnt work out so money is tight........ the muff is a naxos. i got it for basicly nothing because i worked at the muffler shop.i am not a big fan of the DTM but it grew on me. the red brake looking thing is a Hella rear fog light. i have it hooked up to a dash switch. make it look more EDM. $1500. PPG paint, more metalic. it was a freind of mine that painted it. i had so much oddball ish to get painted, if i brought itsomewhere else they would of laughed at me.

The trunk garnish is from a UK legacy. 2.2gx- i just need the RS GT bumper from UK----i like the look of the tint with the black moldings. looks like a big dome. but my black was chiped so bad i was like paint um too. i got the bottom window weather striping painted too. only halfway down so the paint wont crack. on the front and back i got the moldings painted on top of the glass. the racks will be back next spring time :wink:

Aussies have built in foggys in the rear tail lamps? Also, how do you like your muffler? It is a dtm 3.5 in out right? How is the sound on your n/a? Is it fairly loud on the freeway at cruising speeds?

Yup yup-- 21w rear fogs- euro models also have them i dont know about jdm ones. i like the muff but i want a apexi dunk. its 2.5 in its sounds great on my car. unleashed the boxer sound. i needed it louder and less restricted so i am running it with one cat out. i also ran 2.5 from where that cat was and made a test pipe so i can throw the cat back in for emssions time :D. its pretty loud now. i like it though

How would it be on trips though? Is it too much on the freeway for trips?

I like the look of it and am thinking of going with one that looks like that, but if it is too loud, I may just go with one of the 4 inch tips that will alow me to get a silencer.

11 to 12 hours of too much noise may be annoying when driving from Washington to California.

if you change just the muffler with any free flowing deal it should still be fairly quiet. the cat really holds back flow.

ah ok. I am thinking of eventually going with a single high flow cat. That should do well then, for now.

You should've taken off the window trim and had them paint it black.

I'm going to try and do that to mine some time this winter when the humidity and heat aren't so bad.

btw....car looks good :) you need to lower it too ;)

I really love the widow trims colour coded and the custom front grille looks awesome, just a set of RS skirts colour coded and dumped about 2" the thing will look awesome.

Your car has made the biggest turn around from looking like a Tauras to a BC beast. It looks absolutely amazing now. Your back end, though... that has to be the easiest sedan to clock on the highway now :wink:
