Bruddah Will...why you gotta hold out on your cars twin?? haha! Well...maybe our cars were twins like 4yrs ago, now mine is the ugly young step brother LOL! Just kidding bro..but like i said in my pm, Ive seen glimpses of your ride in the limited photos from EOS and HIN, so I cant wait to see what youve done once you post as it looked like a completely different car from when I last saw it (of course, I couldve just seen it in person at EOS, but you know how that goes).

Aloha!

Default Show Us Da Damn Pics Already!!!! LOL!!!

O.K! O.K! I was going to get some payback for all those teasers I had to go through with ya'll. But I can't do that to my CL bretheren.

I'll start with the engine compartment.
Carbon fiber and hand painted pin stripes. Who wuddah' thunk!

Strut tower bracket, sides of all covers, V8 emblem and intake are painted Bentley Midnight Emerald.(Looks black but when the sun hits it you can see green flakes.)

Endless BBK

Painted the same Bentley Midnight Emerald with the "ENDLESS" hand painted the same color as the pinstripe on the engine covers.

Trunk Bar and "L" emblem.

Painted Bentley Midnight Emerald.

Traffic Star RTS
19x9 +42 (High disk for BBK), lip size 41mm 245/35ZR19
19x11 +47 (Standard disk), lip size 77mm 295/35ZR19
and Full Vertex Kit.






Oops! Forgot to mention the smoked tails and painted headlight bezel.

So what do you guys think?

nice...more pics of that engine bay please. Did you buy a sheet of carbon and cut out the shapes for the lids? Gives me a couple ideas there...I like everything except maybe slap a couple spacers on the wheels and it will be PERFECT.

btw, do you have smoked inner LEDs as well? If not, PM me...

Thumbs up

Looking really good!

One question though, are you going for a bit of two tone? I saw that piece on the trunk was bentley green, but rest of car is diff color. Are you planning on repainting the rest of the car?

Either way it's really looking clean!

Default Very nice!

It's so nice to see a member do justice to this color! I like all the mods and extra touches you added to the car. Great job all around!

Don't try that teaser stunt again to us, when you know how **** we are about seeing each others rides! Lol! Your are pimp status now!


This pic really shows the depth of your color! Nice and shiny!

I actually bought the covers from another member here. He had the all the covers carbon overlayed. He spent alot to do this. I just had the sides painted and pinstriped.
Btw, I already have 5mm spacers on the front making the offset +37. Thinking about adding spacers to the rear. And yes, my inner LEDs are also smoked. The whole set was not smoked originally. I just had the body shop spray them.

I was originally going to do the emblems, trunk bar, front grill, headlight bezel in black chrome but I decided to try something different.
Thinking about doing the same paint scheme as BlueLex. Exept mine will be the original Imperial Jade Mica with the Bentley Midnight Emerald in the middle on the hood, roof and part of the trunk.

I'll try not to do any more teasers. LOL. Pimp status? WOW! Coming from you guys, that really means alot to me. Thanks for all the complements. I'm glad you guys like what I've done. I tried to be as original as I can be and try some things that have not been done or overly done.
Btw, the reflextion in the paint in the pic above is the wifies car. LOL.

The pics don't do the color justice on the brakes, emblems and the engine work. You have to see it in person and the Endless brakes in the Bentley green is just spectacular. It's the little details that make all the difference.
