Wow dude! Your car is very nice looking /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I like the JDM/AMG mix. Whatcha got under the hood?

 

She is so damn sexy! Now that's how to represent the summit white galants. We all know there the the fastest too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
What front bumper is that exactly again? And were can I get one of those grille's?
+1 on the engine pics too. Nice job

Looks great. Fresh paint works miracles on old cars.

 

[Ralli380Gvr4]

Looks amazing, seriously man. I like the attention to detail. The AMG grille, evo8's, JDM bumpers and hood look awesome together. Clean combo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

A few questions because I plan on doing a few things similar. How did the body shop paint the tail light chrome black? Did they have to take the assembly apart or did they mask, scuff and paint while it was together? Also where did you get the oem Enkei decals after the wheels were painted? Or do you have a part #?

Again great job, makes me want to get a quote on some fresh paint for 380.

 

Great job!

Hey Jay, don't you think the JDM fuel door looks good? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

^Honest to god didn't notice. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

But these cars look right with JDM bumpers and its always the first thing I notice. Since I never see other VR-4s around either, I forget that all of the white cars don't have black all over them too. LOL

i painted the tails what i did was take the trims off of the lights and sprayed them with a paint called krylon fusion special paint the bonds with plastic then just reassembled it, and the enkei decals before i removed them when i sent the wheels to powdercoat i measured them, then had them redone at a decal shop there not oem dealer stickers, hope i could answer ur questions !
