some new pics of my s13 coupe.. (white 240 content)

[get_slideways]

so, I've completed another paint scheme on my car... white with the black roof. i think it looks great on a coupe. i usually see hatches with this scheme, but i wanted my coupe to have it. so here ya go:















before it's even said... i KNOW i need new wheels... I KNOW the offset is terrible... and I KNOW i need to lower the front more. but it's all good, these things take time. lol.

so, what do you think? feel free to comment, to hate, to ask questions... thanks for looking!

The black roof had me fooled it was a hatch for some reason?

[get_slideways]

lol. exactly... i've never really seen the black roof on a coupe, only the hatches. so, i figured, why the hell not. you like?

same here...i like it

[Jerid]

I like it. Looks good, sir!

[Nonsense]

Not really into the black roof,but thats just me.Love the Black rims and spoiler though

[TroubleBound]

I like it Im doing this scheme to my hatch soon, but it looks a lot better on a coupe than i imagined it would. I don't like my coupe enough to paint it though haha. I have black wheels for mine to they'll match. Assuming you don't paint your car again in the next 12 months that is, cause it'll take me forever to save up for all the s*** i want for my car. The only thing i noticed that you could maybe fix yourself was the front bumper fitment...looks like it has a bit of a gap between the hood and the fenders.Car looks good though

[darens13]

wow, i really like the black roof, it looks schweet

[get_slideways]

thanks for the comments so far guys... keep them coming!

and troublebound, i totally agree with you on the bumper. that is the best i am able to do with the factory mounting hardware... so I'm going to have to make some custom brackets to make it fit flush. the car was in an accident from the previous owner, so it's been a real treat getting everything back the way it should be. but, it's one of the issues i plan on fixing. thanks for the honest feedback!

not bad, looks pretty good.

Thank You! That's what i was trying to go for. Something original... it's hard to do in a world where all the 240's are starting to look the same... even so, i'm going to have to come up with some more originality to stray from the crowd.

much appreciated!

It looks like she has some good potential man, maybe another color than white? Personally ive never been hooked on body kits but especially when theyre white, maybe like something bright? or bold? just enough where it can show the lines, and then a little better fitment in the front, wheels, and you are good to go my friend! shes lookin good, ill be checkin on ur progress!!

[SR24DET]

Wow, I love it! I also love your smoked tail lights. Did you do that yourself? What did you do it you did?

[Metal Angel]

I'm lovin it! Your car has some potential!

[Ghast]

I like

[sylintstorm]

I like it as well.

[justinedible4]

some good progress man!

[zenki-S13]

i like it man

you need to get that gap in the bumper fixed thoughi already read above that youve done alot fixing the damage so good job i know that soon it will be minty fresh

[get_slideways]

thanks again guys... i appreciate the positive feedback!

as far as the tail lights and front signals go... i did them myself. just masked off the reverse light, then sprayed them with the same paint i used on the roof... i thinned it down a lot with paint thinner before spraying though so that the light would shine through. in Georgia you have to be able to see the brake lights from 200 ft or its a ticket. so, i thinned it and they work perfect. glad you like em!

as far as the bumper goes.. i played around with it some more today and actually closed the gap a good bit. i may take some more pics tomorrow and see what you guys think. i still may have to use some custom brackets to pull it up further. but, it's getting there.

i cant wait to get some wheels on the car, its really gonna pull the look together..

i like it oddly enough, i keep thinking its a hatch lol, I would take the wing off though

[get_slideways]

i actually have a wingless trunk as well in white... i switch em out every now and then when i get tired of one or the other. lol. check it out:





sorry about the small camera phone pics... just thought i'd share the wingless look as well.

[JRPS13]

wingless looks so much nicer

[get_slideways]

wingless looks so much nicer

i like them both... but i tend to agree that the wingless looks better. it is a lot cleaner looking without it. but i also like the wing enough to swap them out every now and then... just happened to be on the car when i took these pictures, lol. plus it has a brake light in it... which is nice. i dunno. guess i'm switching to wingless mode today. haha.

thanks!

[roadboy240sx]

i like the wing, just me. i always like wings

[TroubleBound]

wingless looks so much nicer

+1 for wingless, that looks soo clean.

[krash]

kinda looks like a vert' hahaha

Good job man!

[cody180sx]

i'll be honest i hate coupes with a passion they don't look sporty to me and they don't flow but that 2 tone is the sex i drive the hell out of that

[wishin_on_an_sr]

ive always liked the type x on the coupe, i also like the white and black look as well. good job
