Glasswars' Build: srt hood pics (now flat black)

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 11:51 pm

The fitment is pretty good. The ends kinda stick up but you really gotta press down the tape and it'll stay. I picked it up from a local for 80$ instead of buying it new for 200+ so I ain't complaining lol.

PAGE 9 HOLLAAA $\:D/$

so whatever happened to the 300 M emblem you got?

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:43 pm

I broke it trying to straighten it out. Needless to say, it didn't fit, tried heatgunning it, ended up snapping one of the ends off. Balls.

Dropped everything off today. It won't be done till next Tuesday the 30th though

. Turns out gold flakes are special order so I went with silver. 400 for everything. So theres no point in rushing the wheels now cause I want everything to be done at once. So no pictures of everything till next Thursday the 2nd.

that still isn't too bad of a turnaround. good price, too. can't wait to see some pics.

So no gold?? WTF? Why flake though? Flake can be tacky due to its large size compared to a pearl which is much sexier.

Did you finish sanding the wheels?

WTF!?!?! All that build up and no gold!

jake_tim · Post by **jake_tim** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:05 pm

gold paint, silver flakes??

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:38 pm

No no no you guys got it all wrong. Everything is still gold. But in the parts that were getting painted black i wanted gold flakes, to accent the all gold parts. . But gold flakes are special order. So I got silver flakes to throw in the black.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:40 pm

OHHHHH!!!!!! i got it now

well then. i'm excited for next week

jake_tim · Post by **jake_tim** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:53 pm

again.... I LOVE GOOOLLLLDDDD.

I would have waited for the gold flake to come in...why are you such in a rush with this? I think the gold flake would have looked better than silver...especially now that practically EVERYTHING will be either blaze red, gold, or black...now you added silver? Hmmmm...it'll be interesting.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:17 pm

Not to mention the gold flake was an extra 75$. o_O He hooked me up with silver for free.

But in other news...:

1/4 wheels done. And I still have to add the red lip. These shits are taking forever to do. Flhfmd how the fuck do you paint your wheels like every 2 weeks? I would kill myself. Next time, I'm just paying someone.

Looks good, but it's not worth it in my opinion. I'm just gonna get my R/T wheels powder coated. I don't wanna deal with having to prep them all, and then top it off with a subpar paint job. Should all look great though!

I'm gonna jump on this bandwagon as well, I would have either done gold pearl instead of the flake or painted them solid black. I don't think throwing silver into the mix is going to mesh well. Wheel looks good though

Move over and make room for me on the bandwagon.

In the overall scheme of things waiting a little longer and an extra $75.00 is nothing.

Ah well, what is done is done. Perhaps it will turn out excellent and those of us on the bandwagon will all be dumped into the pig trough. LOL

In any case, nice progress on the car... you are really transforming it!

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:47 am

You guys need to chilllllllllllllaxxx, the silver is gonna look amazing. It will go real well when I polish up my A/C lines and fuel rail.

I'm at school right now, I'm skipping all my classes today, I just feel real shitty right now. Figuring out my financial situations for the rest of the year right now. My next 2 checks are gonna be hugeeeee. Hoping to get my new camera by the end of October and what not.

This saturday is the NJtuners.com cruise to Honda Day, so expect my first rolling shots this weekend! w00t

^sell me your old camera!

How about some progress shots, your car is one of the only builds i've been looking forward to lately.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 4:17 pm

Progress? There really hasn't been much.. mostly ordering parts..
Also OB if your really intrested in my camera it's 500 + shipping for the camera and a SHIT LOAD of accessories.. PM me..

Today I finished another wheel.
And I got my tail light and fog light tint! Only had time to do the brake lights.. just got finished.. still gotta do the 3rd brake.

These were just quick snaps, I'll get better ones tomorrow.

I have to leave for work in a half hour and I'm dirty as hell.

Your tails are sexy sir

jake_tim · Post by **jake_tim** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 5:28 pm

Indeed.

And when you stretch those fenders, I will be in love. Do it soon....like after work?

Ntyvirus1 · Post by **Ntyvirus1** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 5:53 pm

damn, the film looks good, looks sprayed on. think im gunna crap myself once u get ur parts back from paint.

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 7:12 pm

Those tails look good! How were they to put on?

Btw...you should buy a chrome fuel rail! I'd sell you mine, but I cleaned it up and DAYUM it looks nice! I haven't put it on the car yet, but as soon as I get the parts back from Crystal...*taps foot and hums the "Jeopardy" theme*...I'll install it with those Hemi Orange parts. Trust me, if you find one cheap enough, BUY IT! They are a beautiful piece when you get them lookin like new!

Andpto · Post by **Andpto** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 11:43 pm

what are you using for the red lip are you painting it?

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:37 am

Brodie I used Lamin-x Vinyl Tint Film. Need a friend to help put it on though or else it's impossible.

Andpto I'm painting the lip on with blaze red paint.

Thanks everyone.
