    Big transformation...all new bumpers/skirts/grilles & color (teaser pics inside)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Here's what my car looked like before...previous owner put a SHITTY Reiger Kit on the car (which in my opinion doesn't match the lines of the car), had some ghetto reverse rake going, and a couple dents/issues I had taken care of.



    Here's what I've done so far (all done within the last month, just got my car back Tuesday from the shop):
    -H&R Rear Sway
    -ST Coilovers
    -B6 S4 Front Bumper
    -Ultrasport Rear
    -B7 Votex sides
    -Euro S4 grilles (top/bottom) with black surround
    -Wrapped Matte Black roof & mirrors
    -Wrapped Matte Black PILLARS
    -Wrapped interior trim same color as exterior (Matte Gray Aluminum)
    -Wrapping car in Matte Gray Aluminum (half way done)
    -Tinted Tails

    I'm looking for opinions...should I do the Spoiler i'm ordering in matte black or keep it the same color as the body. Also, where can i find the top aluminum strip that goes on top of the rear bumper under the trunk? Lastly...black or chrome rings, and recommendations on where to get the black rings.

    Here's the link to the color and store:

    http://sdetuning.com/Matte-Gray-Aluminum-Detail.html

    Progress Pics:

    (So far I've completed the roof, mirrors, both rear doors, trunk, hood, and one side skirt...incredibly tedious, but I am SO excited for the finished product, looks incredible)







    UPDATE 11/3



    UPDATE 11/4





    Update 11/10












    INTERIOR TRIM (same color as exterior, but I think it looks good for any color combination, this stuff is awesome):







    Daytime & Detail pics :)

    This is the color...in person it looks just like a macbook pro, haha. It's actually very metallic looking, and just from the lights in the garage, the lines and color look incredible and the metallic will probably look really good in sunlight.

    Long story...but change of career was one of the factors, haha. And thanks, I'm very stoked on the color.

    $600...it's very tedious and takes lots of patience and a lil trial and error...but I'll post full install videos and all that fun stuff. I've spent a couple hours a day the last 2 days, hoping to finish by tomorrow (but I still have lots of other parts on order i'm waiting for).

    I had the body shop remove the door handles so I could do a super legit job on this, once i'm done I have to wait for them to put my interior and handles back together. I'm guessing by mid next week it will be 100% done :)

    Nice, I have a feeling I'm really going to like this color when you're done. Have you thought about removing the door molding? I think it would look awesome.

    I agree...but I didn't want to go too deep into this project, as this is my first time wrapping a whole car...but it's turning out perfect

    Seriously, if I can do it...anyone can. It just takes LOTS of patience, time, and trial & error...there's a reason shops charge $2,500 around here, takes an insane amount of time to do it right and prep it right.

    Love the color. Can't wait to see the finished product. I have to say, though, I'm a little weirded out about wrapping the ENTIRE car. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see it all done.

    You just got my creative side turning... I might be looking into a project like this. By the way the video link is awesome,
    I'm sure yours will turn out just as good. Keep us posted and the pics flowing!

    I am getting SOOO stoked and excited for this, it looks incredible...I'm really stoked I took the chance to learn something new and it's coming out so well. It really is tedious, but it's rewarding and kinda fun, haha.

    Another update (was hoping to take pics in the sunlight for you guys, but it's raining outside):

    I need to take pictures of my interior trim...I'll probably have some extra pieces and the interior trim is REALLY easy. This color looks absolutely incredible for my trim, and it takes probably less than 2 feet for the whole interior.

    If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me or ask on here :)

    I absolutely love them black, especially with the theme of my car...I even did the pillars matte black and they look amazing. I have to redo the mirrors now that I have a lil more experience...I think I can get it perfect, but it's gonna take a LOT of stretching and heat. I'll make sure to get video of the mirrors and find the best method for our cars.

    What do you guys think about the spoiler...matte black or body color, as well as the trunk emblem (black or not)?

    Spoiler should be body colored and make the rings black! Just my thoughts!

    Oemplus has black rings and I think unpainted trunk decks too for our cars. They have the front and black emblems pre-blackened or you could use the originals and plastidip them like most do. I would definitely do color matched spoiler and black rings though.
