StormTrooper Edition

[sx sonic]

I am going to get a Stormtrooper helmet and drive around windows down and see what kind of looks I get, I will come pick you up and get weird stares from everyone with 2 Stormtroopers driving it around

Hahaha, that'd be awesome. Got get some subs and blast the Emperial theme song while driving around .

And to be honest I don't have any storm trooper gear . My avatar was just a pic I found online, somehow or another I ended up putting up a trooper pic and then Bogus sent me a few other trooper avatars and it just kinda stuck.

The corners are still undecided what to do with them. I left the dip on them when I unmasked the front end but I intentionally sprayed them lighter when doing the whole front so light comes through. I also didn't coat the underside of the protruding part so it shines bright as can be from there and is visible just fine. I really wanted to tint them like the tails with the Lamin-X but they do not have a precut available so I might try my hand and a generic sheet of it.

I have about 5-6 coats on the front if I remember correctly and if you need any tips to taping it off let me know. I saw one of the members said he had to cut it with a blade to get the line but that is not at all necessary and will mare the paint. The more coats the better is how I feel about it. all my mods can be removed to stock if needed which is why I didn't want to permanently tint any lights.

so how exactly did you go about getting the philips headlights did you just buy the bulbs and install them or what exactly did you do? This is by far one of my favorite builds

I ordered the bulbs from eBay and I believe they were about $24.00 each(high and low beam). I researched bulbs for about a month watching videos of stock Vs. different bulbs and these bulbs won out by far for me. They are brighter than stock and have way better life than Silverstars or any other aftermarket bulb. I will also say that with them in the high beam it is bright enough to def get peoples attention!!! Here's a link to the bulbs if you're interested.....Philips H11 CrystalVision Ultra Headlight Bulb, Pack of 2 : Amazon.com : Automotive... now I am not sure if these are the right size I just grabbed a link for you to see.

Thanks for the post and I love how the car came out and I probably have about $300 bucks into all my mods, which is awesome for how drastically different it looks.

 

[joe332]

awesome thank you and yeah those $300 sure went to good use, your car looks great!

How do you tape off the white in between the lettering on the back?

You don't, look at the pic how it is tapped off and that is exactly how i tapped it then sprayed it. The Plastidip just self terminates as you peel it up.....amazing product to see used the first time.

First post here, but I too planned something like this. One suggestion;

If you haven't already done it, you should definitely get a personalized plate that reads:

I have been having trouble with a LOT of road grime building up on my back bumper and trunk from driving and was thinking of getting a roof spoiler to fix this. Does any one know if this will help my situation or would I be better with a trunk lip spoiler??

I will most likely go with the roof spoiler no matter what since I like the looks of it. Next question is I was also thinking of mounting one of those truck tailgate LED light bars with back up/brake/turn signal inside this roof spoiler and have been stumped on how to get the wires into the trunk without drilling holes into my body.

Here is the roof spoiler I am looking at, any comments are appreciated.

Ooooo I want!! Nice find. I too am having trouble with grime building up on the silver. Been thinking of dipping the back bumper in someway to throw off the dirty appearance plus making it look different.

Went out took some new pics with my car @ the old RC Cola factory in Miami. AMAZING place I could have spent all day there if it wasn't so overrun with homeless and other unsavory characters.

Those photos are awesome! Really help to show off your car, the white is the perfect color to go with all that paint.
