very nice and clean which wing do you have on now, the v-line or the aero duo?

[HIJACKER]

Looks great! Your mod list is excellent and I'm glad to see that you picked quaility stuff. The JIC's, Alpine, etc.. all great stuff! I like what you did with the reverse lamps as well.

If you got a true set of bronze wheels, Volk's maybe, I think the difference would be huge and be the perfect final touch. I'm not to found on the painted stock wheels.

Overall though... EXCELLENT car!

[slwdwn3g]

looks great

[Stokes]

WHEW thats sweet styles! I like what you did with the factory wheels! DAMMIT BOY!

[Asheth007]

Very Very Nice really good. No grillcraft in your future? I know some like it some dont. Also excellent idea with the reverse lights exactly how did you do that? Those are diamond style reverse lamps right? A+++

[bd3g5]

Sexy time on wheels.

[metzgerhund]

Looks good. Not feeling the wheels though. How do you like the Damplifier sound deadner? This is what I have except mine is still waiting for my ass to get around to installing my system.

Very nice, and very nice stock wheels!

i agree 100% with this.

Looking good man. Just not feeling the wheels.

[GTclipse01]

nice man, but personally i like the stock spoiler's look a lot better than the V-line... too ricey IMO

[ProjectRS]

Looks beautiful. As Hijacker stated, money permitting, if you finish it up with a set of bronze Volks/Works, and a grillcraft (Asheth007) it would look complete. Good work so far. Didn't you have a fully built motor?

[icemanrld19]

looks exactly what i would do. I love it. So you pulled apart a set of rear bumper lights and painted the chrome inside black? Ive been debating about doing that for awhile and you just made my mind up

[ArcticEclipse]

You stopped your car in the middle of an intersection to take pictures, WTF!!!???

[LLDre]

I like the wheels, I like all of it!

Right now I have the stock wing. The V-Line is actually Steel Blue (Hence its only on in the nighttime shots ) and I just picked up the Aero Duo on Sunday night, so both still need to be painted.

Thank you. It was your car that actually sold me on the WW kit. I have some question for you about it though, I'll PM you later. As far as the wheels go, they are definately in the works and I should have them soon. I went with a set of Gold Axis Reverbs (Same as Regulator) with a polished lip. They have a hollow spoke design so it was a comprimise to the Gram Light 57Pro's that I originally wanted. The bronze on the stock GTS wheels really doesnt look that bad in person, I get a lot of compliments on them form fellow SoCal'ers. Pictures dont quite do them justice. They have a nice gloss and metallic finish to them.

No grillcraft in the future, intercooler instead.
Yeah, the reverse lamps are the crystal clear ones from eBay. I broke them apart (similar to the headlights) and painted the inside black. I realized that even without the chrome circle in the middle they are still PLENTY bright. So, eventually, I'll take them apart again and completely black them out.

Yeah, I'll be the first to admit, the wheels arent my favorite thing about the car either. But it was more of a temporary mod to get me by until I pick up the wheels.

The damplifier is greta. I absolutley love it. FAR better than anything else Ive used up to this point. And its really not that bad of a price for 40 sq/ft. You should get on installing it, it only took me one afternoon to finish the entire package.

Yeah, I know, its a love 'em or hate 'em type of thing.

I'm thinking the same thing. Up until I put it on, I thought it was by far, the best looking wing for the 3G. But after I installed it, Im on the fence about it. Same goes with the Aero Duo wing. I like them, but only at certain angles. Im trying to stick with the Aero Duo wing because its more unique than any other wing available. My favorite hands down however is the OEM spoiler.

Yes I still have the turbo built motor in my garage. Now that I have some extra funds coming in ona regular basis, I should start peicing that project together slowly. Ive already spec'd out a few turbo's and the supporting cast.

Yeah, exactly what I did. Im going to re-do these ones soon and black out the little bit of chrome thats left. Be careful when you do yours. The clear lense is prone to breaking apart from the red reflector at the corner. Then you have to ley a small bead of clear silicone to keep is weatherproof. That can be a pain in the ass to conceal.

It's on the outskirts of Eastlake in the newly developing areas. I was in that intersection for 15 minutes and not a single car came in either direction. The light isnt fully operational either, its a 2 way stop.
