good job

[08altima35]

good job dangeris. looks like a jdm racer that's cocked and ready to drop bombs. some don't like the red lips, but it's all about what look you're going after. i personally feel it has more of a "stealth but you don't wanna mess with" look with the black on color match painted lips.by far one of the nicest coupes on the road. congrats

[desertdragon]

it is about time....

Congratulations Dangeris! Very nice wheels, very nice car. I am sure the wheels look even better in person.

that looks sooooo good well worth the wait... our coupers loog so good with the bigger lip on the rear. wish i knew how 2 upload pics of my coupe

[altimawhitegray]

your car looksss hot! i love the combination of red & black !! Great Job!!!

[Sarcanglk]

Overall, I love the ride! I must say the more I look at it the lip's red just seems a little dull. I just feel like the body's red and the lip's red just doesn't match up. The lip can use some kind of wax (if there is something like that) IMO.

[08Coupe]

I DON'T like painted lips, but on your car it works well, very nice!

Not a fan of them either but when I saw them I really liked them. Then I saw them on a Z in Vegas. Th coupe was code red like mine and had the same wheels in 20's. I fell in love right there when I saw them!

The red on the lip isn't an exact match but the pics don't do it justice. They look a lot better in person. Yes I do plan on waxing them or putting some kind of protection coating on them to make it easier for cleaning. Does anyone out there recommend a product over the other?

[rjdmmfl1]

Dangeris, you're entire concept is nice! Its a look that, without all of the pieces you put together, doesn't work IMO! I think you take any one thing away from your car, and it's just not the same. I really didn't like the look of your car with everything done, while riding on the stockers, but the wheels have def completed the package. Its very flashy and immediately demands attention! God job homie!

[LongBeachCoupe]

I dig it! I think ive seen those wheels before... can you describe the paint on the lip? is it like anodized (sp?) it looks like it may be...

I noticed the color difference too - I was wondering if those were anodized red vs color matched. Anodized red is seems have both a metalic and a burgundy/maroon-ish tint which might stand out more. Here is a pic of a similiar wheel - you can see better I think the color of the lip.



Dangeris - what setting did you use on your camera. Not sure if this is my computer - but your car seem to be kinda pale red - and i'm thinking that it is just the picture (the settings on the camera?). This also makes the difference between the red rim and your car more apparent.

I'll echo the now meaningless comment of - would have looked better with a 19 or 20. But you get bonus points for staggering the 18" wheels and making them flush with the fenders.

[dangeris]

Yes, the lip on the wheels are anodized red and they oare a little off on color when compared to the code res but that wasn't my concern at all.

The camera I used is no high tech canon or nikon, it's a Fuji s5700 and shout it at 7mp on an auto setting. Wish i did have a nicer cam though to take those awesome pics.

come out to the car show on sat... ill take some nice pics with my D40 with 55-200 VR lens... (i dont know what that means)...

Im interested in learning more on the "chip factor" on anodized... is it bad?

[dangeris]

What "chip factor"? Isn't anodizing a process of electro-charging the metal and having the color stick to it because of the charge? It's not like painting the lip with paint and having it chip off...or is it?

[LongBeachCoupe]

i have no idea what the properties of the wheel are... thats what im trying to figure out... bc if it was a red painted lip.. based on what ive seen on my polished lip... it will get dings left and right and will look like a target ad... (can you use Nevr-dull on the red?)

[dangeris]

Well the lip is not painted. It said it was anodized and looking at the lip, it does have a metallic color to it indicative to anodized metals. I'm hoping that the anodizing will be resilient enough to take the abuse of everyday driving.

[LongBeachCoupe]

dangeris... do some searching online... find out what the "polish" is for that... (nevr-dull is FANTASTIC on my polished lip, idk if its safe for the red)...

[Mr.Coupe]

The car is hot dude. I like the Sportmax's. Overall you've done a great jod with your whip.

[johnny_d]

hey LBC, I have polished lip on my wheels but i'm not sure if it's clear coated...... how can I tell? Like Mother's metal cleaner doesn't recommend using them on clear coated wheels

[08Coupe]

Anodized metals hold up VERY well, I had floor mat holders that were anodized black and lasted three years on the floormats without a scratch. I would clear coat them, it will be alot easier to clean and give them some extra shine..

[sc_coupe]

looks very nice!!!!

[LongBeachCoupe]

i dont think they coat polished metal... but i have no idea...

I dont know about the mothers cleaner... but what i do know is that when i went into autozone and asked where the nevr-dull is (the mgr was the cashier in this store at night) he asked me who told me about it and how i like it... He showed me some pics of his wheels, hes been using Nevr-Dull for yrs... and i will be too... very easy to apply (like raw cotton with butter on it)

The Fuji is more than adequate - I've had the S5100, S5700 (stolen and replaced by), S700. So it might be the settings, angle etc. - or could just be my monitor.

I'm sure that the Fuji is more than adequate but I know that there are hidden potentials that I haven't begun to tap into with this camera. I really need to play around with it and manual mode and see what it does instead of putting it on auto. What I really need is to take a class or hook up with someone who knows camera and photography and learn from them!

[FGFCacoupe]

Beautiful, clean car homie.

For some reason, your setup doesn't activate my salivary glands.

I don't like the rim design, although I like the red lips. And I don't like the spoiler.

Now this baby.....



... has activated my salivary glands.
