Figured I would start a build thread. Check back often.

 

[QUOTE=NYXF56JCW;4130622]Some JCW **** for ya!







Love the *** pic! Thanks for posting. You need to go and motor so you can give us your initial review

 

That's a really great looking, very clean, very mean car! Thanks for sharing.

 

Super nice!

 

Look great! I dig the matte black light and grille bezels.

 

I agree, this shot really makes it look stealthy.

 

Looks great. It really stands out.

 

Did the tint today (5% rear and 50% front) and the clear bra. Wrapped the whole hood, front bumper, pillars, roof and luggage area in the rear. Have some other things planned for next week. Wheels and tires are on order along with a bunch of other goodies...stay tuned.

 

Nice tint and clear bra! I did the same.

 

Couple of updates over the last little while. Installed a set of Thule Aeroblade Edge roof bars, Cravenspeed Adjustable short throw shifter, weighted shift **** and stubby roof antenna. Then went a little crazy with the vinyl. Did the front lowers grill bars in red to match the upper, blacked out the chrome below the windows and wrapped the dash pieces with brushed titanium! Turned out pretty good I think. Check out the pics! :thumbs:

 

Nice car, nice mods, and nice Garage. You have created a great place to work on your car. Do you have some other place to store all the junk . . . or have you not accumulated all the junk that most people do?

 

Thanks! Not a hoarder by any means but have an attic above the garage for parts and extra tools and things I don't want laying around. Have a separate shed for all the yard and garden stuff.
Along with my business I do some paint correction and detailing on the side, so I use my garage for that. Needs to be clean.

 

Awesome looking JCW!!! Love all the mods you did. How do you like the cravenspeed short shifter?? How was the install?? Looking forward to what you have planned next!!!

 

The shifter is awesome. Much better than stock. The install is pretty straight forward. Although there are a couple more steps to removing the center console over what Cravenspeed has posted on their site if you have the media control and armrest. I have a couple of other tips I can share if you're planning on tackling it yourself.

Have a couple of things showing up this coming week! Stay tuned...

 

Looks great!

 

The lower grill bars in red are spot on.

ISAMIN

 

I completely agree!!!

NYXK56JCW did u wrap those with vinyl or are they Plasti-dipped?? Did you do the same with the belt line??

 

I used 3M 1080 Vinyl for both. Dark red for the bars, which is a little orange compared to the stock bar but is the closest that is available. And just matte black for under the windows.

 

They look great!!! You definitely have talent!!

 

Couple deliveries today...

 

Which OZ rims did you get and are you using spacers or are the wheels able to clear the big brakes?

 

The specs of the wheels are 18x8 et 48. Im going to have to run a 5mm spacer up front. As for which wheels they are...ill have them mounted up in the next little while so keep on eye on this thread.

Tires are 215/40-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports though.

 

This is getting good!!!

 

These are great tires. Have been running them for 2 years. Very sticky!

 

Yeah, I've tried a lot of tires over the years but I always come back to these. Especially when you can't go crazy with width on these cars...have to get the power down somehow.
