Sadly, there's not code for it. It's a mixture he threw together himself.

Thanks everyone. My wife and I are just amazed at how it's turning out right now. Once it's back and 100% done there will be LOTS of good pics.

With the body work from the accident and everything, we're at over $5K right now. The actual repairs/paint/custom work is $4300, I bought a hood and fender for $200 and found teh hood to be junk, so had to get another. That was included with the front bumper cover, JDM high beam, and an accessory socket for $750. One used projector low beam was $150......new alarm was $200 and solenoids cost me $100, alarm wiring for everything was $180. So almost $5700 all inclusive though it could have been done for MUCH cheaper.

hehe see... aren't you happy I helped convince you? hehe Looks badass bro

I plead the fifth!!!

this looks really amazing!! love the color and I cant wait to see the finished product.

[jimmykay]

Wow... just wow.

I have got to come see that in person.

Bravo on a beautiful car.

[Fastbird]

Saweet!!!! Rob @ Likwid Art just got back to me, he's doing me another set of the devil horn emblems, and cheaper than before!

[Fastbird]

Well........car was going back together. JDM high beam part number I was given was backwards, so we have a drivers side high beam. Dealership is saying they can't find the right PN now, though I've supplied it and he's going to check tomorrow.

New Devil Logo's are in already from Likwid art.

Here's some outside pics. It's so subtle yet so different.....I've got to say though that pictures simply cannot do the paint justice. I can't capture it with the camera.

Speachless...

[Skinerp89]

Subtle? No way!! The copper really shines it looks amazing!! Do you plan on getting new rims or sticking with those? To me it kinda throws the look off a bit but nonetheless it looks really good.

[Fastbird]

Ok, I didn't look too closely at that last pic.....now that I'm looking again.....dayum.

Keeping these rims most likely. No cashola for new ones, although if we did I know EXACTLY what would go on there (R-1 Hype in black and machined). My wife likes these, so as long as she's happy......

[Skinerp89]

Yeah that last pic is like omgwtfbbq..

Those rims would make the car look like perfection,I sayy sell your body on the streets for some extra dough =

time for you to visit and have us a nice lil photoshoot

Yes.......yes it is. I'm hoping to have the car roadworthy by the middle of June. Have a lot of work to do still. Need to cover the door solenoids (installation error on my part, they're pointing straight up, I.E. water issue potential), put the interior back together, wire in the new Kenwood head unit, finish the interior CF wrapping, get cluster cover in with custom wired lights, ect. ect. ect. This is going to allow ample time for the paint to cure in the garage and get several coats of good old Zaino polish layered up on it though.

[presure2]

amazing.
i only wish i was close enough to see it in person.
i know what you mean by the pics dont do it justice, its hard to truly capture what your eyes see across the panels.
im not a particular fan of red, but that is simply an amazing combination.
i dont know about everybody else, but i smell somthing.....








yup...definetly smells like a future featured ride to me!

[808celica]

oh so you're a Zaino man what are you using??

i love the z-16 tire shine
