Well Here are some attached photos ....




UPDATED PHOTOS IN POST #52







(( anyone notice something missing ? ))


The car was Mostly clean prior But with BLACK you start to notice more and more each day ... always will have imperfections esp .if you don't restart

I will have 3 extra clear coats put on the car and wet sand of course


Time to have the car repainted black this time going (super black) Nissan KH3
, The Darkest black I have seen in person and purest black out there... IMO

Was considering going with gold pearl .. But with each gold I found at the shop ... It has some other colors mixed in so NAHH... Each almost fooled me like perfect then with a super bright flashlight ....I seen every color inside there.. No way for me

Here is a picture prior at the most recent show




and here are some of the pictures of it NOW











Considering having the wheels done too ... Nice black on black ... Until I get new wheels ...

Hope the photos work , I see them but My other host site is down ...

add me on www.myspace.com/koreantoki If you cant see

haha thanks guys ..

Another place ... (secret) painted


When the Car gets completed then looking at getting the 3 piece Jp wing ...

Wow you guys are fast I didn't even blink and there was alot of posts !


Just to give a heads up I had paid 750 rushing to get the kit painted , and hood redone but the rest of the paint was original ... Not perfect ...

I think you should keep the same finish on those wheels. Looks good though!

I agree.

And have the bodykit painted off the car, since it's very easy to get clearcoat runs when the panel is upside down (special w/ extra coats).
