Hey!

I'm just kidding about pushing the boundaries. Just a couple of things I've done in my spare time.

Smoked fogs...




You can see here how much the Nite-Shades affects the light... surprisingly less than I had thought it would. Fogs are illegal to use here 99% of the time anyway so it's no real loss for me.


& the grand finale... Painted heat-shield!!




Also, I can't tell you how agonising it is waiting for these rims to come in... It's been a couple of months now mad.gif

I think I might have to go with some other ones I've seen.

Rims I've been waiting for...


Rims I might end up going with...



Opinions?

i think those rims look hot but what about going gunmetal to stay with the smoked/blackout theme?

I think you should go gunmetal or black. I like the second one's better to tell you the truth.

^ Yeah... I'm hoping these'll be dark enough once they are on the car, without having to go completely black.

Here's a more realistic chop...

Nice job Oz! I agree on the rims. A darker color would go better with your car.

I agree with your heart's intentions on black rims with a machine lip, only thing else you need to do is paint everything on the exterior black!

^^ I was just going to say that LOL.

Is that just incase you forget it's HOT ? lol Or for little kids when they pop your hood to look at all the gadgets?

What I would of done was paint it all black, or remove it completely and wrap your headers.

I like the painted corners to match the lights housing. Did you open the corners up the same way as an headlight?
