<br />

i figured i'd toss in a few other photos since you guys have never seen my car

S13Grl · 11-20-2001, 11:26 AM

Looks awesome! Good job!!!

burgy240 · 11-20-2001, 11:26 AM

What is vht nite shade?

vancouvers14 · 11-20-2001, 11:28 AM

its a semi-transparent paint.  allows light to go through, but looks very dark when there is no light going through it

burgy240 · 11-20-2001, 11:35 AM

Where can you get it and how much? I've seen this a few times and would like to do it myself.  Also, did you paint your interior yourself?  if so what did you use?

(Edited by burgy240 at 11:37 am on Nov. 20, 2001)

vancouvers14 · 11-20-2001, 12:21 PM

any race shop should have it.  as for the interior, if you do it, please don't do it in red.  i like my unique look.  took about $40 and 50 hrs of my time.

burgy240 · 11-20-2001, 01:27 PM

don't worry reds not my thing!  Thanks though.  

BlankFlip · 11-20-2001, 02:47 PM

i'm gonna have my interior painted like a silver, at least that's what i plan on right now. i couldn't do that w/ the rear of my car though cuz the cops give tickets for having black out lights on the street. nice car though, what rims r those?

S13Grl · 11-20-2001, 02:53 PM

They shouldn't give you a ticket if the light is still visible. And Vancouver used the see-through paint.

vancouvers14 · 11-20-2001, 02:56 PM

wheels are dronell d-power ts-05

the lights still shine really bright so you shouldn't have a problem.  in fact, i think they're more noticeable now because of the contrast

BlankFlip · 11-20-2001, 02:57 PM

so is it the same as buying black out light covers for the tails? do they have those for our cars? i don't know if mine would look right like that cuz i've got a black car already, n i want black rims n a darker black tint on my back n side rear windows.

vancouvers14 · 11-20-2001, 03:32 PM

i'ver never seen covers for a 240sx.  this is a spray on.

BlankFlip · 11-20-2001, 03:45 PM

i think it looks a lot better on ur car then it ever would on mine just b/c it would be 2 much black n i like how the read looks on the back of my car neway. n what did u do for ur interior? just take everything right out then sprayed it? ne prepping or nething like that?

vancouvers14 · 11-20-2001, 04:16 PM

took out every piece.  cleaned then with acetone.  light sanding with 400 grit.  20 coats of vinyl paint (it streches and contracts with temp. changes).  re-install.  about 10-20 minutes between coats.  and since you have everything taken apart, do a general vacuuming, cleaning.

Tuck&Poke · 11-20-2001, 05:58 PM

i say you buy the silvia emblems and put em on the front fenders a la' ferrari

Tuck&Poke · 11-20-2001, 06:36 PM

i wanna put carbon fiber on my dash and ad some red torino seats from sparco.  thats about the only red im gonn have inside

11-20-2001, 07:04 PM

Just to let you know, gold is one of the hardest colors to match and to paint.

My car is black , and I did the same as vanc. , only taped off a big red circle on each side (since my car is black, I wanted some red still showing) It looks #### good , and almost like a skyline . My girlfriend should be taking pics soon of the tail and the eyelids so you guys can see.

HEY Vancouver , I'm glad you took my advice , it looks Beeeeeautiful!!!

S13Grl · 11-21-2001, 11:24 AM

Yes, sir, I will sir!

S13Grl · 11-21-2001, 06:03 PM

I'll have the pics on Sunday...

KoukiS14 · 11-25-2001, 02:15 PM

Hmm I like the tails in black.. got me thinkin =)
I like the red interior, but I'm wondering what it'd look like to paint the same parts you did on my car only have a bodyshop color match them to my green car?  hmmm =) might look pirty good. .

As for the Silvia badges "a la Ferrari" . . I dunno. . they're curved to fit the hood. . 94-96 hood badges might fit a bit easier, they're smaller and a lil flatter.  I've got a 94-96 green / gold emblem on my 97 hehe.. and another guy here has a 97-98 on his 96 haha. . ironic. .

S13Grl · 11-26-2001, 10:31 AM

i was gonna match the pieces to my exterior color, but you can't just use regular paint, and i couldn't find the paint in gold.  remember, you're painting on plastic and vinyl, and those pieces contract and expand with the temperature changes

vancouvers14 · 11-26-2001, 11:13 AM

oh, ans s14guy/s13grl, did you forget to do the third brake light?

AJ · 11-26-2001, 11:18 AM

That looks awesome, btw, what kind of rims r those? and how much do they cost? i'm in love with them,, also are ur tails chipping at all?, did u use multiple coats?

S13Grl · 11-26-2001, 11:52 AM

They're called Kyotos. On his car, they're gunmetal. Not sure how much they cost. He got them through a local shop, Driver's Image. They look really dope in real life.

Mladen, he didn't do the third brake light on purpose, I think... I kinda like it that way too.
