should i leave it black + engine bay

[95zilvia]

finally got access to a digi cam and learned how to upload pics!



I dunno, I kind of like the way the tail lights look this way.
All the other white s13s w/ kouki tails like.. the lights don't stand out.

what u fellas think? or ?

and i owe pictures for people who wanted to know how the MB Motoring weapons looked on the car. these are the 17x9 +27 bronze w/ 235-45-17 wheels on them. sorry, only pics i could get, and my fender is pulled, pulled a lot actually, thanks smogtech.


oh, and here's another picture of what's under the hood, or, not really under the hood since it's not there, but, u know, engine bay

I think it's alright, but people might think you got a cf hatch :x

[AllenRPS13]

it's nice, dude! if u wanna keep the hatch in black, i think u should go with CF hood!

[mr_240sx]

for your rear wheels, would they have fit without modifying your fender?cause i ordered 18x9 +25 in the rear and plan on running 235 tire and the guy told me that they would fit stock fenders without modifying them. Is there any truth to what he said?

tape measurer, plumbers bob, and the ability to do basic math would answer your question.

i like how the black hood, top and hatch contrasts with the white. it'd be better if they all had the same glossy black paint though. you're car is looking clean.

[mooboy]

daayyym, when did you paint your car? looks good.

[WanganRunner]

I like it a lot.

The NSX-R for instance, has the black hood/roof/hatch, it's not CF (well, the hood is, but it's painted black), it's just black.

I've always liked that look, absolutely stay with it. You have a NICE car btw...wanna post some more pics?

Are those 57s or Wedsport SA90s?

[95zilvia]

How'd u know I got a black hood :P
anyways, i painted it white, cuz i didnt wanna be a ricer.
saving up for a carbon fiber hood but not on my top things to do list, so for now im leaving it white. a real shitty white in fact.

mr240sx. they fit without any modifications at all. but they do rub ocassionally under hard cornering or fat bumps. i rolled my fenders so they dont rub at all, then proceeded to pull them, since i was at it already. and i also planning on getting other wheels.

[95zilvia]

ok, so i think i'm pretty set on leaving the hatch black. thanks fellas.

[sepulchral]

ewww take everythign out (motor, boosters, etc) and paint it white

[94eghatch]

or someone may think you are part of Team Toilet, they usually have the white with black trunk and hood.

[24Zero]

The black roof and hatch will look really sexy with a CF Hood.
And paint the engine bay dude!

whats wrong with a sileighty?? car looks nice as hell!!!!

[sLip techniques]

it looks kool like that

[infinitexsound]

beat the dent out of the rear quarter by the door...or rather push it. keep the white/black paint scheme... something different... sweet mang...

[Rusker]

Looks good. I also have a black rear hatch on a white car. The old hatch had rust under the OEM wing, so the new one will be black for awhile. It does look carbon fiber from a distance... a very far distance. lol

I'd also paint the engine bay white.

[Big Daddy]

looks real good black on white like that man.

[sLip techniques]

you could keep the engine bay red to match the motor

[krustindumm]

My brother did a similar thing with his white 1gb talon, i'll snap some pics later.

[95zilvia]

I actually really like the whole white and black thing. Just wish that I had more money to spend instead of my $20 paint job. The hatch is off another car, my old one had bondo from covering the spolier holes and wiper hole and dirty ass tint. This hatch I got from my parts car, perfect condition, no holes, paint is not bad, and no ugly tint, and the deforster works too!..

I plan to get a CF hood, eventually, but not now, saving up some money for the Drift Day thats coming up.

[method2833]

is that a carolla or a rsx in the back ground?

and im gonna need more pics on the wheels other wise car is coming along nicely

[s14sILV]

ur car is prety sexy... saw it on like 28 and Taraval like 2 weeks ago.. drooled =)

[95zilvia]

method: it's a corolla type S. it's so riced out that it's actually pretty hot.
s14silv: thanks bro. now if i only had some s14 rims to goto the track on....
hook it up!
