crosshairs - pictures on pg-1 and a more pictures on pg-2

chr1s · Post by **chr1s** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:06 am

since i woke up at 6am (damn yes i know its really early lol) i decided to do my oil change and transmission flush before it got to hot outside (since in las vegas it is above 100degrees) during the mid-afternoon.

it didn't get to hot out so i decided to paint my CROSSHAIRS on my SRT-4 (since i previously black'd out the stock intercooler)

what do you all think of them? opinions please.

(don't mind the head in the passenger seat. my gf is in there lol)

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:33 am

I like it a lot better than the "wannabe Evo" look. Good job!

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:35 am

Looks much better than most attempts that I've seen.

DetergentCandy - thanks

SilverStar - thanks

hul kogan - yeah it wasn't all that difficult. thanks

dtjackten - i'm glad it came out the way it did. thanks

ZeroChad - really?! you don't like the "wannabe Evo / Evo X" look?? i kind of do like that Evo X look but not on my red nSRT. thanks though. good thing i did just the crosshairs.

Midnight_Rider - lol yeah i seen what happens when people use paint. it doesn't turn out so great. lol. well, i'm actually a noob when it comes to paint but because i'm a perfectionist, i like everything to be precise. thanks

smiley - thanks man. yeah, it is something different than what most people do. since i don't have a BFMIC i figured to why not just black the whole front end out.

dutch animal - thanks alot. i'm glad you like it, but NO you aren't going to get my nSRT

MyNeonSaysHi - really? the hood now is carbon fiber. maybe the stock hood would look good too. only thing is i dont have one. thanks for checkin it out though.

i agree i think the hood should be red too, or maybe red venom stripes i think that would look cool

I don't know... For me, the whole thing is what he has done is so subtle, it almost looks OEM. A red hood, naw. Just my worthless opinion.

I actually agree with that. That would look sick.

Red04SxtLuvr · Post by **Red04SxtLuvr** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 6:31 pm

I give it 2 thumbs up. Subtle but bold. And I love anything Red. Plus my high school colors were Red and Black, so it is a win win win win IMHO.

LILBLUNEON · Post by **LILBLUNEON** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 9:06 pm

looks good.

colormatched hood would be better...IMO

I've never seen stripes painted on a carbon fiber hood. Another alternative would be to paint the sides of the hood with the body color, and leave only the raised
"power bulge" in carbon fiber. I liked the one car I saw painted that way. Maybe you can get someone to PhotoShop that.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 10:05 pm

Chris, I actually like that and on the white ones I've seen it done on I didn't. I think it's because your hood is CF, if it wasn't it would look funny IMO.

Lane: Now you have:

And my CF hood used to be painted in the way you described back when the car was black.

chr1s · Post by **chr1s** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:07 am

DOSneons - ehhhh i really like the cf hood though. maybe if i had the stripes with the stock hood to do it on, i'll consider it.

Midnight_Rider - thanks. yeah i didn't want to go "over the top" with it. subtle is a good way to put it.

heydockyle - lol

k-b-s neon02 - yeah that's true. red and black are my favorite colors.

DetergentCandy - lmao

gofer_tom - very true. red and black always go together. lol. thanks man.

MyNeonSaysHi - maybe . . . .

Red04SxtLuvr - i appreciate it. yup RED!! lol.

LILBLUENEON - thanks for checkin it out.

lanholt - yeah that would be different. i never seen what you are explaining before. so definitely, if anyone wants to photo shop what lanholt described that would be highly appreciated.

LilSparkPlug - thanks for checking it out. i only see the white nSRT4 with the evoX look here in town. it doesn't look bad. just "not my cup of tea" lol. i know what you mean. if my hood was stock and not CF i wouldn't have painted the crosshairs. keep it all stock.

hansken_yo - what do you mean?

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 3:41 am

It looks good! I love it when they're painted instead of getting cut out. When they're cut out, it looks so bad.

chr1s · Post by **chr1s** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 3:47 am

Tam - thanks dude. yeah that's true. i'd (possibly) cut my crosshairs only if i had a BFMIC. since i don't i just blacked out everything.

on some SRT's the cut out cross hairs do look good and some are horrible. so i guess, to each their own.

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 10:10 am

Looks great!

hansken_yo · Post by **hansken_yo** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 12:12 pm

We've had locals do stuff like that which didn't turn out all that great or they tried to hard to look like an Evo.

Yours turn out pretty good looking in the pictures.
