[hurley97]

this is the first step in my photoshop attempt for Manny and Jenn.
not much yet, got rid of all the cans and junk holding them up and made the rear extensions a more similar color so you get a better idea of everything.
that's the easy part, I'll work on the color later



original picture on pg 2 and 3

sorry Manny, I've been slacking
I did this a few days ago. sidemarker is shaved. tell me how that color looks, I'm working on matching the rest of the car to that color. its kind of hard though cause the white doesn't have the same kind of highlights as the skirts/extensions did so I'll have to add them myself to make it not look flat. I need a good picture of where the highlights should be

While I'm at it... might as well....

manny ... you should take this time to shave the side markers and get a set of the gt4 ones!

would recommend getting US sidemarker light shaved and get some oem style side repeaters in clear from uk ... lexus is200 has them in europe in clear .... i think all US 6g's would look way better with euro/jdm side repeaters .. u can get on ebay uk in many tints as well

I 2nd this thought. Anyway, really looking nice Manny.

^Trying to tell him the same thing!

thats what shes working on art.
its pretty close to the actual color it will be too.
i wanted to do the gt-4 ones, but theyre set in on the fender, it actually has a rolled in edge on the fender, which is not exactly easy to replicate.
dustin threw out the idea of just totally shaving the marker, since i do have the marker in the headlight, so i asked steff to shave the marker to see what it would look like.
to be honest, i dont like the look of it shaved.
if i ever did that, i would have to shave EVERYTHING. doorhandles and all.
with our winters, thats out of the question.

[brianforster]

kind of reminds me of ghostdogs car but he had a coupe and ssIII splitters so i think youll be ok. but looks hot manny, cant believe you work at a maaco, maybe ill come to you to paint my car

yo Homeboy, me and Steff have the day off tomorrow, give me a ring in the morning when you plan to get things rollin, we'll be there.

i think those shaved sidemarkers make the car look even cleaner..
shaving door handles would be cool too.. i've had my door handles shaved on my old 89 celica and i didn't have too many problems during the winter..

not too many...lol
this car is a daily driver....my wife gets up @ 3:30am every morning and drives this car to work.
the last thing i wanna hear @ 3:45am is MANNYYYYYY....I CANT GET IN THE DAMN CAR!!!!!!!!
not even once.
while i agree shaving things makes the car "cleaner", i didnt like the way having just the marker gone looks. the doorhandle throws it all off.
i dont wanna shave just one thing. like the markers. then its just looks like another unfinished project.
D ill give you a call a little later, im sure you dont wanna be down @ moms @ 9am

Shave those USDM markers Manny - place some EU / UK / JDM ones instead - it will look atleast 10 times better...

thats from 3 posts above.
if i was gonna do the jdm ones, i would get the jdm fenders, and do it right, like all the other front end stuff.

[Coomer]

Looking great Manny...those extensions and sideskirts look much better than before IMO.

Oh, are you gonna shave your sidemarkers? Haha, j/k.

[presure2]

so today, i painted the inside of the doors, and door jambs, and underside of the hood.
im so excited to finally be putting color on the car!!! i cant wait till its all done.
here are some pics that steff and D took for me as things got done.
big ups to my cousin joe, as usual and d and steff for theyre help.
and of course, the wifey! after all, it IS her car..lol

heres the extra doors i got from D, i used POR15 on the inner skin and on the lower part of the outside of the door to prevent the rust that is so common on our doors.


big D, the taping MASTER...BWAHAHAHA




putting on the sealer. i tinted it with indo blue to get it as close as possible to the basecoat.





continued

next week will be the hatch, sunroof, and then a couple weeks later the outside!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
