Mine used to look a lot better too, when I had a second car. It still got driven, but not nearly as much. You can keep your paint looking good when you have a garage to keep it in, you can keep it clean and waxed etc.

Once I could only have one car and didn't have to the facilities to work on it anymore, the paint got a lot more damage. My front bumper needs to be repainted really. :( That's the reality of a daily driver though. If a car is on the road a lot, it will get damaged. Either by road debris, weather, or idiots in parking lots.

Yeah it would be nice to have two cars but I can't fathom the idea of having a car JUST for show and only driving one of my two cars every other month.

Still making it for certain/a goal to have a garage and/or shelter for the first duplex/apartment/house I get. Would be so nice -.- fk u sleepy :D

Plus what mainly catches my eye is his brake rotors, how they're always perfect without any rust, that's how I would think it doesn't see rain, even if your car is sitting in the rain some rust will get on it overtime. I loved how my rotors looked the day I put them on but with a DD you can't keep them rust free, constantly cleaning them would be pointless on a DD, function over form right? lol

If you ever want/need your paint restored just come on down.i cant repaint your bumpers, but i can restore the car to a mirror like finish. Consider this an open invitation

Oh, I know how to clay bar a car, polish it, etc. That's not the problem.

There are rock chips and scratches in places now, and there are stress cracks in the paint all over the front bumper from too many times of it being pushed/pulled going in/out a step drive, or getting towed, etc etc. It just needs to be repainted. My trunk needs to be redone too. The paint has cracked where I molded the wing to it, and where I filled the old holes for the stock wing. They really should have been welded in and ground and filled, and I should have used panel bond instead of bondo for the wing. Maybe some day I'll fix that stuff. Not right now though.

Mine car is in dire need of some TLC thats for sure. Hasn't been waxed in years!

My car does see rain but not often. But, yes this is basically a show car and cruising car only. I've owned this car for 8 years and have barely put 5000 miles on it. I don't have disposable cash, I want to build this car once, not once every couple of years due to wear and tear. So, therefore it sits in the garage where it is safe. My car, my decision. lol

1st set of rims i've ever put on a car. :leg
FYI: that's my electric supercharger lol

Those arent 370z wheels are they? They look awfully identical.

nope, guess again.

edit: i googled 370z wheels. do you have on beer goggles?

I think he meant the 350z wheels..

They look like newer Camero rims to me.

RX8 or some mazda wheels

Sorry, saw em on a 370 last week thought they were what came with.

Anyway i mean these.... They look about the same as yours.

07 350z wheels

Those are Camaro SS wheels.

G8 guys like them because of the aggressive offset, and they'll work with no modifications needed (the Camaro is based off the Zeta chassis as is the VE Commodore)

Damn, good eye. They are close to identical. If i saw the wheel face on, i woulda said ss wheels. But couldnt tell much from the angle. Oh well!

**** looks as dope as the day we put them on.. btw, i tried that megs "white" wax. it was meh. changes the color a little, but not enough to buy it again.

The rims look effing insane!

Wonder how 370z nismo wheels would look on those lol

as much as you know about the holdens and as much as you like the hsv versions, y u no trade honda for g8?
thanks, i really love how they fill the wheel wells. the white wax, kinda sounded like a gimmick to me. that liquid glass sealant (the blue stuff) was at autozone in a really small bottle for $25. you get what you pay for. it's been 4 months since i put it on, rain beads off just as much as when it was fresh. and bugs and dirt still come off so easy when washing.
thank you sir coop

Because income.

Definitely a huge improvement man. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man i appreciate it. Sct kit should be next anytime soon to complete my SE>GT>SCT conversion

I remember when you first came on the boards, spamming threads about an SC/T hood. lol

Lmao i never took the time to even look at the dates...i really wanted an sct hood and i seen all this threads selling these hoods and i was like " hell yeah found it!"

Erick is growing up..... Keep it up!

Yay! =D

:applause: Erick!


Mac---- got any wide shots of the car with those sexy new shoes on her???


And due to Aaron saying his LED isn't blinding-ly bright..

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psaec25571.jpg

that is the 5 smd 194 led replacement I just put in my lic plate, Aaron's is about 239 million times brighter than this, and mine lights up the ground better than a normal 194 bulb lol

Pic no show


Nvm now it does

I might get a 5 smd LED 194 for my plate light, atm I have a 1 LED 194 for it and it lights it up fine but may need to be just a tad brighter.

What coop has is perfect brightness, not too much and not too little.

Glad I saw that pic. I was wondering if the 5 SMD would be bright enough.

I got the 1.50 cheapy from eBay, got a couple for the rear aimed map lights (up in the dome light assembly) and they're a tad more blue than the superbright led dome light I have, but without that bulb lit, they look plenty white.

1 on the tip, 4 mounted radially, I think it's just about right myself

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-T10-194...60701740765%26

there is the link

Yeah I have the same 1 smd leds in my maps lights and floor lights and I think they're perfect, license plate might need a 5 led though.

I don't remember what's in my fronts, I think they're a 1 smd.... but for the reflectors, I may have bought the 5 to try to emulate a "regular" bulb in there. May have to dig back in there and look lol

here's my homemade led strip for my plate light... there are 7 smd from a roll I got off ebay... got 2 rolls of 300 smd led's for $20 shipped :) couldn't say no!!

Hey, it's not that bright. Not like it's blinding. It's just right IMO.
