Hadn't taken any recent pics of Spike so I figure since I just washed it, what the heck. I was inspired by Red Bull to do some before and after pics. I am still not done doing mods. Plenty of things left to do.

Here is what it looked like when I first bought it.



And now after a good bath,

 

Looks great nice stance! So when you gonna finish painting your calipers?

 

sweet!! Blacked out headlight rings would look trick on your car

 

Like the 'R56' on the boot.

 

Nice! What wheels are those black ones, they are fine.

 

I think they are Konig feathers right? What are you lowered on? very shiny also =] mine needs a wax.. its been 6 months

 

his sig says h&r springs, looks good! do a body colored joey mod with a black ring around the projector lens, that'll set it off! i like the stance... now i know the diff between the tsw springs and the hr springs... def leaning towards h&r now. really nice stance. is that one of those e-z pass transponders in your windhsield? spray it black! hahaha it stands out like a sore thumb
i had the exact same idea with the R56 badging, cept i was gna spray it black- though once i debadged, i remembered how nice it was being debadged and the cleanliness- so im holding off.

last thing- did you lift your muffler tips up? (bend the hangers or somethin?) they look closer to the valence..

anyhow, nice job!

 

im liking the r56 s turbo badge...

 

looks good - what is red in your wheels b/c it doesn't look like the calipers....maybe the inside of the caliper?

 

WOW! i want some of that soap.

 

Looks fantastic! You should be proud

 

I'm actually leaning on doing the same color of body Laser Blue

Thank!

You are correct, they are the Konig feathers. I need to update my sig.

That transpoder being white is driving me nuts I'm just worried if I paint it, will it give me any problems. I may end up doing a strip of tint in the front to help hide it. As for the mufflers, that is how it came when i bought it.

Thanks!

 

I painted the caliper, but left the bracket silver.

 

I think you should paint the bracket too. Otherwise it looks like you have "mini" brakes. I just painted mine and it's not that much more work and makes a big difference in the look. But just that's just my opinion.

 

One other suggestion for your car would be to remove the egg yolk look in the front lights. Just removing the lens does a lot and it's easy.

 

Make sure that the tint has no metallic in it. The paste instructions with the SunPass says to attach below the tint line of the windshield.

Paint might cause less problems and look better, if you matched color.

What is the transponder you're talking about?

 

The LeeWay transponder

It is primarily used for three local Toll Bridges.

It has also been reported that it works perfectly if attached underside rear Sunroof Panel. (again assuming no 'tint' )

I have the same aesthetic issue with my EZ-Pass Transponder. I was thinking of wrapping it in black hockey tape or electrical tape.

 

You should contact Lyle at Vinyl Styles and get some vinyl for it.

 

Outstanding!!!

I assume those are 17" x 7"s or are they 7.5"s? Also, what size tires? 215/45R-17 or 215/40R-17

Any rubbing?

 

I love your strips they are perfect !
you neeeeeeed to kill all the chrome!!!!!!

 

I agree on the stripes... I need a set just like that. The pics of the ones on aesthetic creations look wider than those for some reason.

 

BTW : how wide are your stripes ?
