i can't wait to see your car in person. hopefully i can see it soon.
The signal tint is darker, as I was concerned about the loss of luminescence from the tinted covers.
Let me know when you're around and we'll get together.

Saw your thread on the subject. Did you consider the fiberglass GUT as opposed to the CF?

Just awesome
I agree with the first two, but the pics were really nothing but a couple snapshots as Alan's car was parked in the SCC back lot next to the garbage dumps... hence the unprofessional reflections in the lights and unappealing backgrounds.
Of all people, Alan certainly knows what it really takes to get a studio-pro shot... I pointed at some of those necessities during our tour of Paramount.

I decided to get the spoiler from elise-shop.com. it has similar design with forcedfed and for less money. i can't justify buying a $1000+ spoiler only seeing them getting scrapped or split (worse case scenario). I am buying the spoiler mainly as protection to my front clam
Oh yeah, pictures after my front spoiler and headlight-turn signal tint. Does SCC make a set for headlight and turn signal? If so, how much?

time and place? after the car has its new sexy black lips, lol. maybe late nov early dec? i just ordered today, so it takes a while for shipping + time to install
A:
****. That paint job is awesome. Congrats on the idea and congrats to SCC on the implementation. I think it looks amazing while staying away from the primer look, but that's just me.
Also, amazing photos. I have a few new wallpapers now...
Damn I want one of these...
(just a Farker stopping by to gawk)

Better hurry Juaquin! These care are ultra rare and appreciate in value the second they leave the lot. Good luck finding one on ebay.

Wow, congrats! That paint job turned out fantastic!
Are you painting the side mirrors to match? They look kind of funny shiny.

This thread just started over. They answered that a while back.

Thanks! Regarding the mirrors, you have to see them in context. The splitter, radiator covers, side mirrors, upward facing portion of side sills, and rear wing are all glossy.

The cyclical nature of things...

Is that the new Lotus super secret Elise replacement?
Alan, your car looks awesome! SEMA had a bunch of cars in flat black this year...though none that looked as good as yours.

Thanks Shinoo! Means a lot coming from you. Now, the question is, when are we going to paint the exige so it matches your avatar?

Thank you...
Canon EOS 20D with a Canon EF 17-35 f/2.8L and an EF 70-200 f/2.8L.
No, sorry, not a single shot of a pure profile... the backgrounds sucked on both sides. The shots at night are as close as I got to the profile. I'll do better next time!
