Hi Guys,

Thought I'd snap a few photos before my car headed to the dealership for the ELF and cooling fan recalls this morning.

You'll note the addition of the Novel carbon fender ducts, and my custom exhaust from Hayward & Scott which includes real quad tips that have been ceramic coated black to go with the SGM/carbon theme I am working.

Hope you like them!

 

Thought I'd add this rather nice photo that shows how I kept the vents themselves in carbon, and had my shop add some extra protection in the form of a nice coat of laquer. This should prevent the paint chipping off around the edges etc.

 

nice pics and the car looks great!!!!

 

Thanks mate.

 

Absolutely awesome! Nice job!!

 

Your car flows so nicely with the parts on it.

 

Thanks a lot.

Glad you like it.

 

Love your car, Peter. Wow.
All it needs is a slight drop (cough, sell the BCs)

 

Thank you! Means a lot.

I've tried to get a good balance without cheapening what is a great car to begin with.

The fact SGM and carbon fibre look so good together doesn't hurt though! lol.

 

Lol, thanks bro.

I'll be getting the BC's installed pretty soon. That'll sort out that drop it needs.

It's just the front that needs dropping. Don't intend to do anything with the rears.

 

Looks good Peter! did you use plastidip for the emblems?

 

I did.

You'll notice I've had the Lexus and IS badges removed, filled, and repainted.

Just the rear L badge on the trunk spoiler is plastidipped.

 

Nicely done!

Did you use your stock diffusers to fabricate the new outlets? I really like how it's identical to the OEM diffusers.

 

Thanks. Guessing you are referring to the exhaust tips? Luckily Hayward & Scott here in the UK have done around 6-8 systems for the F. They managed to source an almost identical design to the fake OEM ones.

I took it one step further and had them sent off to a company that ceramic coated them for me.

My shop had to shave the diffuser slightly to get the new tips to fit right, but it was hardly anything material wise.

Glad you like it.

 

Good looking car. The carbon accents look good but are not overwhelming. Slam that thing with some coilovers. Wheel game is a negative for me ghost rider.

Glad to see people posting across the pond.
