MY 2012 BUILD [PICS] NEW PROGRESS

[D3santis]

Hello Nico, Just got my hands on a 3.5 sr manny last week, Here is the build progress as of so far!! Enjoy


I cant stand this spoiler that It came with so this will be my first MOD





So I ripped it off And fillled the holes, Will go into paint soon.
'


Next lets get all the ugly chrome off the trunk,



Decided to take the actual badge of, way better, but pain in my a**



Gotta throw some Tint on the taillights and Windows as Well
Im thinking About getting the eyelids I must Admit, I like them, But Im kinda torn, What do you guys think??


Next mod I got was my Drop Enginering lugs But im waiting for my rims to throw them on


So I could not help my self, I hate chrome...


They are currently Drying...Its 2 am friday morning on the 27th for the record, 3 shots paint, 3 shots clear, I ordered vinyl as well, its just temp, Pictures up tommorow evening when the paint is cool to handle And for the record im not sure why you guys use plastidip for are grills, Chrome Is a type of metal, Gloss enamel works best


DONE



4AM Saturday Morning



The rims I had in mind were 19" Tenzo R,Powder Coated, Ive been using them forever.
I have some hankook evos v12 255x35x19 theyre In my garage photo. Gonna kill the wheel gap with some Eibach Springs as well, Waiting for those to arrive as well.

And lastly to my exhaust With Greddy in mind, Blue tips Spectrum Exhaust, to match my Lugs!!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK!???

Can't wait to see those lug nuts with your rims

[DJ_B_Easy]

What color are the wheels powder coated? With the blue lugs and blue tips on the exhaust the wheel color is going to make or break your theme, you could do some really creative stuff with it.

[Ranga14]

Congrats, you found a unicorn.

[D3santis]

tezno 19 type M

[DJ_B_Easy]

But are they powder coated a different color? You said powder coated above.

[Ranga14]

Hey, those look like mine except black.

[D3santis]

And the exhaust

[D3santis]

The Tenzo M Series arnt glossy, Im having them powder coated for that wet look

[DJ_B_Easy]

Ah gotcha. I have the Cuzcos and even the matte charcoal has a little gloss.

[D3santis]

These things are about as glossy as chalk lol..

[AlexM.]

Powdercoat doesn't produce a "wet" look. Might be better off painting them

[DJ_B_Easy]

^There are glossy powders. Guy that did my grille had a lot of gloss motorcycle parts in his shop. All depends on the product.

[D3santis]

You can you get your wheels done in a gloss powder coat, look it up

[SEismyG]

Make a video of your stock exhaust before you hook it up. I've always wondered what the 2012 3.5 sounds like...

[D3santis]

Sure will, Its honestly not to bad

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Sounds the same as every other year 3.5

[RicerX]

2012 3.5 exhaust sound = 2008 3.5 exhaust sound.

D3 - you ordered the Greddy yet? They're discontinued.

[RicerX]

dang Tyler you gotta quit being faster than me.

[SanoSuKe]

yah..the greddy you gonna have to pay big buck for it, unless you ordered it already. And did you really take off that spoiler? I mean we all have different tastes but that OEM spoiler is prolly one of 2 wings that makes our coupes look complete.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

dang Tyler you gotta quit being faster than me.

There is 5 minutes in between our posts!

[D3santis]

Yeah I took it off, If it kills the lines coming from front to back. also its has line three inches that extend of the back of the trunk. FAIL. And Discontinued or not, theyre are still plenty out there, from other companies that greddy had sold them too And yes I just ordered mine for 1200 So this builds gonna be sick

[Ranga14]

$1,200 for just the axle back???

[tuhj0k4r]

cant wait to see your results dude

[SanoSuKe]

$1,200 for just the axle back???

I don't think they sell it in Axel-Back, you're thinking Magnaflow maybeh?

[D3santis]

Its a cat back, and no one can say anything negative about greddy, theyre an awesome company, with great products. And your dream build sholdnt have a price, And for the record, I dont have parents, SO mommy and Daddy Didnt buy this, I busted my a** since 16.

Been awhile since I've heard the stock exhaust thought the sound might be deeper/new because it's an SR or something....guess not then

[D3santis]

My springs come in on the first, So im gonna tear my car apart right away!!!
