omg karasha finally a pic of your car and your posting more i noticed! lol i like what you've done to it. so you got those headlights done huh? how was the process? lol

 

I know, mISta! I never post my car... it's because it's just not done and is just extremely basic right now. I have a lot coming in store for it, I just have to be patient.

I didn't do the headlights myself; I had a friend do it for me. Did a way better job than I probably could have considering he's experienced with that sort of thing

 

I'm sorta torn...there's some things I don't like, but I think what I don't like is that none of this flows completely yet, and when it's done it will look much better. Some ideas I had were previously stated, but here it goes:
-gloss black emblems
-wheels -->black center, keep the lip chrome
-black grill frame
-black out lights and fogs

that should pull it all together, nice to see some originality

 

Thank you this is turning into quite a build counting on my original plans were to keep it nearly stock lol.

Thank guys, i'm really trying to get away from what everyone else has, CF hood, CF trunk is awesome don't get me wrong, but i've yet to see this done in gloss black on MRM.

Thank you The wheels should 'make' the car.

I just noticed this morning how awesome it looks from my office window

Thank you! sounds good coming from another MRM

Thank you and thank you again! I agree that it's not ricey because i am going for an aggressive look, but i'm only 40% of the way there, so it'll look a little goofy until silver starts disappearing. I want to do my emblems darker, when i paint the window surround and visors, i'll do emblems as well.

Your car looks great!! I cannot wait to do the headlights and foglights, scared of doing it, but excited for the final look! Def. looks awesome on MRM.

Thank bro! im doing some front lip research

Thank you, I'll be keeping this car until i have the funds to buy an F, so i'm not worried about the sale of the car at all, i knew this when i put the first mod on the car, i do have an extra hood in MRM too.

Thank you! I have that same torn feeling, however in my head i already see it with black wheels hah, i really want to do a color matched lip, i think polished won't match well.

Awesome replies guys, thank you! To be completely honest i knew i would get these exact answers. It's an unfinished product as is, just wanted to post some pictures as an update because i never post any pictures lol

 

that's not bad at all. like everybody else said, black wheels will probably make a big difference

 

Thanks! hopefully by the time you're back she will be all finished!

 

lil wierd to me.. i think it would of been better with carbon fiber vinyl.???

 

That came out fantastic. I agree with you the wheels somewhat 'stand out' but painting them won't hurt

Nice rims btw, i regret having sold mine!

No. That looks straight up retarded & ricey, on any car. You cannot replicate the pattern properly, and it is noticeable.

Paint black if you must follow with a 'theme'.

 

Thanks for having faith lol

 

hmmmmmmm...its not bad i suppose.. its not ugly and its not great.. so i guess im 50/50 lol ill wait for an update !


edit: u need coils for a more aggressive stance itll help with the look your going for

 

I like it for a show car, not a daily driver. Nice work though.

 

I'll be in the market for coils once i do enough research as to which are the easiest of fastest to rebuild.

Thank you! The Lex isn't my daily driver, if you look in the garage, there is my 02 Sentra GXE with 90k Soon to be going under winter prep in a few weeks.

 

hmm i jus pulled the trigger on megan LP racing coils... IMO there the best bang for your buck and will give you that super aggressive stance u are looking for

i my self am twotone also.. white/blak acents all over

 

I like it. Next do: black grill surrounding, black headlight housing, black wheels, SICK.
I already like the way you are going.

 

Its funny cuz im very opinionated about the 2IS, lots of cars ppl like i dont care for... BUT... in your case... lots of ppl seem not to feel what you have done, thing is... i like it.
