hey guys im new to the post here just figured out how to work this site not the best with computers lol. Just wanted to throw up a few pics and see what you guys think of my car so far. its a 2005 coupe and so far ive done just the exhaust , blacked out the tail lights and running lights with tinted clear coat, racing hart 19's 10.5 275/35/19 nitto in back and 9.5 in front with 245/35/19's nittos in the front for a preety heavy stagger,projector led headlights,I also did the front lip and then the obvious tinting of the windows. I was stupid when I did the exhaust cause i figured spending 700 on a exhaust it would sound great but going off ebay was a mistake cause I couldnt hear it prior to buying it so it gets a little raspy in the top end 4000 rpms and up when im really beating on it. I wanted to do the stock brembo upgrade,intake, and find a way to take the raspyness out of the exhaust so if anyone has any directions to point me inor opinions let me no,but this is my baby so far let me no what ya think. always nice hearing opinions and suggestions from other people that share the same car :dblthumb: Image Image

Very nice. Pretty color. I think you have done very well.

You asked so I'm going to be honest, I don't like those stickers on the back windows.

You wouldn't believe the pot-holes on the road I have to come to work on. I have the road all figured out. I know where they are and I kinda ride with my driver's side tires partially in the turnlane. Still jars your teeth out. My car doesn't ride as smooth as y'alls do. :squint:

Even with mine that low the only problem I had with the nose was a road gator. Otherwise it was the exhaust scraping some going over speed bumps.

That looks just like the G I "drive spiritedly" with when we run into each other going to and from work. He did the exact same debadging. He needs the spoiler! I love that paint.

Some cars are so hard to get the paint color right. I think I have 50 million pics of my Camaro. It is a different color blue in every one.

The Ivory Pearl was a 1-year paint code. 2008 only.

I like it...that or doing black emblems works. I'm thinking of doing my "G37S" emblems in black and tinting the tails. Not sure yet.

I will use some film on mine so they can easily be removed if I want. Back in the late 80's one of the tricks I would do on my cars is paint the rear tail lights. I would get Kraylon gloss black and do one coat on them. Without them lit they looked a nice gloss black but the gloss black easily let the light through, unlike a flat black which would not.

Of course, getting the paint off would be a pain in the butt if the popo's started harassing me. Luckily it did not happen.

Like the smoked emblems....especially on darker cars.
Would like to do mine on the coupe some day.
