1BAD6's Skyline Gray Paint and Bodywork Thread! New pics pg9!!!

Re: 1BAD6's Skyline Gray Paint and Bodywork Thread!!

To each their own. This car looks good imo. The paint is flawless and the bodykit fitment looks great.

If you are entering in a car show with other modded cars, your route is going well. I'd suggestion some airbag suspensions and have the car dropped to the floor (while in park of course), then raise it back up when driving.

If this car was in the West Coast and came up to a car meet, not many people would dig it because it's a tad to ricey since up here in California, the trend is JDM lips, duckbils, negative offsets, a whole lot of camber, tucked engine bay, roof racks, CIVICS, fog lights, mud gaurds and INTEGRAS (they just get too old, there hasn't been a civic/integra that's been pleasing to my eyes lately. All the same exterior mods). To be honest, up here in NorCal, there's not too many modded Accords, only older ladies/men driving it as a grocery getter hah.

Post full body shots!

Re: 1BAD6's Skyline Gray Paint and Bodywork Thread!!

car's looking good man. i know you've mentioned doing it but retrofitting oem headlights will look so much better and give you light output you'd be a lot happier with. sense you've put so much time and money into this car to make the aftermarket parts fit perfectly, i think the retrofit would be more fitting for this car.

congrats for it almost getting complete! how long has it been sense you drove it?

Thanks man...I'll think about retrofitting. I've got to see how I like this set first after it's fully adjusted.

I haven't driven my car yet...it wasn't ready the last time I was home so April will be the first time.

That goes to show, you never can tell what anyone else will like or what the "trend" is. Some of today's accepted looks don't do it for me like lots of negative offset where the wheels and tires stick out from the body like it's an offroad truck and then the cars are often slammed on top of it. All I can think of is what happens around hard turns or anyone sits in the back! And when did roof racks become cool? Really?? I had no idea. Like you said, to each his own.

I'll post more pics when I get them.

Please post or PM me pics of your sideskirts with the doors open (looking to see the fitment in the door sill area). Thanks.

By the way, what's taking the shop so long? At the rate everything was moving along at, I thought it would have been finished a month ago.

there is a set of turn signal lights that will fit that bumper. It's square, and looks fantastic. I dont know where to get them, but I have seen it before.

I like negative offsets if done correctly and not over doing it. Some people actually rolled/pulled their fenders and actually turn perfectly fine. It's the people who half *** their work and just slams it to the ground that has a hard time turning and going on bumps.

I like my car lowered just so it doesn't feel like such a boat for me.

I've never liked the roof rack, I guess it just started to become popular because everyone now a day rides fixed gear bikes?

tbh. Redlines/GT's/Haros > Fixed Gears.

I should have pics of the door sills this week. Don't get me started!! I've wondered what's taking so long myself! Wesley is VERY anal so he won't let it go until everything is pristine. He has said that everyone who goes into the shop says 'damn, who's car is that?!' And that's coming from muscle car guys who aren't into imports at all.
