So i finally got around to having my buddy build my cage for me. I started a thread of what color i should paint my interior once the cage was done....well its done so here it is.....

I had originally wanted to paint the car and interior the purple of the Honda Fit but i have changed that honda purple to a nissan purple....Midnight Pearl, im sure most of you nissan heads know what this color looks like. It should be getting sprayed this coming week or next. Got a ticket i need to pay for first.

That is so badass and robust looking..........I feel like you could just roll the shit out of your car at like 100 mph and be okay.......but don't do that.

Great pics of the build btw

Maiku240sxS14 · 09-06-2009, 10:39 PM

Very nice, welds look sweet! I just got my cage in and its in for paint should have it back this weekend. Post some pics when she's done...

xpertsnowcarver · 09-06-2009, 10:40 PM

I'm going to have to make a trip to NM to have you make one of these for me

Going to be hard trying to pick a color thats "original" since most have been done already..
Can't go wrong with a Charcoal pearl like this cedes

Backintoans13 · 09-06-2009, 10:47 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, my buddy Nick is good at what he does. Ill be sure to post the pics of when its painted.

Backintoans13 · 09-20-2009, 08:09 PM

Ok so here's another lil update.....got the car back Fri from being painted inside. I had many sleepless nights thinking of how I would go about the interior color. I contemplated many different scenarios like ALL white inlcuding cage or White with Purple cage or Purple with White Cage or ALL silver including cage and finally decided with all purple. I had alot of ppl help with the descision with pics of cars that had there whole inside one color including cage likes these.....

All those cars led me to my descision to keep it all one color. I aint gonna lie....in the beginning i wasnt really feeling it, i thought I made the wrong choice and felt maybe i should of gone all white or white with a purple or purple with the white cage but ater seeing the above cars and other cars that were posted for me i have made peace with it :lol: If i ever decide to change anything it will be the cage, ill either get it resprayed another color or maybe wrap it with some cool stickers or something either way here it is.....YES....ONLY 2 pic's right now, as it is im not really satisfied with these pic's much less the others that i have , look like crappy cell phone pics so i will retake the pics when its a better day and post em again. Let me know what yall think good or negative

Maiku240sxS14 · 09-20-2009, 08:15 PM

Maybe its the picture but I'm not digging the darkish paint, looks black. Post up some better pictures. Just got mine back from interior paint. =) went with all white. Now the joy of hiding the wire harness. Looks good.

Yeah the pics are crappy....it was getting ready to rain here when i got it back so rushed the picture taking, ill take more pics when the weather is nicer....as far as the color goes....its not black, its Midnight Purple, color code LP2. Post pics of yours, id love to see all white.....then again maybe not lol might want me to redo mine if i like the all white more lol and i know what you mean bout the wire harness lol

NINJASPY · 09-20-2009, 08:20 PM

nice work!!!
usually darker/flat colors are better for glare issues etc.

any plans for door bars?

Brian · 09-20-2009, 08:26 PM

Thanks bro....yeah thats one of the issues that i thought bout when i first saw it.....i thought maybe it shouldnt of been cleared....oh well lol um for the door bars down the road i will. I was gonna do a 6pt with door bars before i painted but have decided to do the s13.5 conversion so i decided to save the cash from finishing my cage towards the conversion. This is still gonna be my daily driver and didnt really want to deal with climbing in and out of the car being my DD. Once i get a true DD i will go ahead with the full cage and get it resprayed...alot of ppl told me to finish the cage before i painted it but no biggie

Dousan_PG · 09-20-2009, 08:28 PM

looks awesome
excellent choice!
