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

stylez · Jul 24, 2007

Right now I have the stock wing. The V-Line is actually Steel Blue (Hence its only on in the nighttime shots :lol

and I just picked up the Aero Duo on Sunday night, so both still need to be painted.

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!

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.

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+++

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.

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.

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.

Very nice, and very nice stock wheels!

Thank you

i agree 100% with this.

Looking good man. Just not feeling the wheels.

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

GTclipse01 said:
nice man, but personally i like the stock spoiler's look a lot better than the V-line... too ricey IMO

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. :yesway:

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?

Thank you

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.

icemanrld19 said:
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

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.

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

:lol: 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.

i love the car man!! and i love the background dude that was a sweet place to take pictures! these are awsome picture love it

stylez · Jul 30, 2007

Thank you. I didnt have my own camera on me (Spur of the moment idea). So the pics are a little washed out and colors are kinda dull. I'll take some better ones once the wheels come.

Nice looking car, I'm liking the gold painted wheels, even if they are the stockies!

gt_02 said:
I like it. It looks really good. Different wheels would probably make it look even better.

JPHOA said:
Phew! I thought I was the only guy that thought the '03 GT/GTS wheels were sexy enough.

Thank you

crpearce said:
Your 3G is absolutely gorgeous. The drop looks awesome as well. I've always like that wing, although I think the aero duo will look great as well. Good work!

Yeah, Im still on the fence with both the V-Line and the Aero Duo. I think once I get them painted and on, it will be easier to determine which one looks better. Then again, I love the stock wing, so who knows.

Nateclipse said:
Get a set of 18" gold volks, will stand out better. but nice ride man.

Nate I would LOVE a set of Gold Volk CE28N's. My original choices were the Gram Light 57-Pro's. Unfortunately I cant shell out that kind of cash right now for either of those. So I have to compromise.

'03GTS Clipse said:
Wow man. You really have a nice ride. I was never one for the stock wheels look since I don't care for them personally. But the way you set yours up is just amazing. Nice flow. I actually like it alot! Great job stylez!! :clap:

Chato said:
Nice looking ride!

Thank you

sunky said:
you got one awesome car!! lovin the ww kit and the apexi n1 exhaust. i think the muffler flows very well with the rest of the car

I love the Apex'i N1 cat back. Honestly, aside from the JIC's, it's my favorite mod.

Titanium2k2 said:
Looking damn good, man! Did you modify the cut off on your headlights or is that how the Sonars come?

No, I had to modify them. I actually ended up going through 3 sets of Sonars because I kept messing them up. Finally I got the correct sealant to use and they ended up great. I used some scrap stainless steel from home depot and cut it to shape to fit over the existing cut-off plate. Then JB Welded together.

WesGT said:
I love it. I was a fan of your silver one and I love this one as well!

I miss my silver one. Thanks

GTS_08 said:
have you ever thought about getting some rear bumper inserts. i really think some red ones would look fantastic on your car. just my 2 cents! car looks great!

Eh, not so much. Im actually thinking of getting the letters on the rear end shaved off.

LUNAR said:
Car looks great! Cant wait to see those axis reverbs on it.:twothumb:

I should be ordering them in 2 weeks. :twothumb:

Ok so what exactly is the process you used to get them rears corners apart? I must know. LOL

stylez · Jul 24, 2007

Same process you showed me for the headlights. Just heat and some gentle prying.
