most recent picture vv

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I figured I should post some pictures since I have been on this site for a while now.
This is my 2004 GTV6 Special Edition
http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=796

The summer after high school I needed a new car and was lucky enough to find this one.
I took out a loan and purchased it.
I found this site looking for Tuscani badges and I've been addicted ever since.
That was only about six months ago and this is what it looks like today.

Feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, anything
Thanks

It was really hard to get a good shot of the lights...I guess my camera sucks.
In person the lights are pretty bright. I have LEDs in the speakers, license plate, the footwells, and I converted the window switches and foglight button to red

Just for the heck of it, a picture of what it looked like when I got it.

I don't think alot of them objects are going to be losing till you throw some powuh under dat hood man! lol

Car looks good though, I'd say take off some of those emblems on the back, way to many imo. Or paint them to a matching color perhaps?

Not sure what kind of camera you're using, but a tripod will help alot with the night shots of the interior lighting. I took some night shots of my lighting just recently using one and the differance is like night and day compared to my old pics.

i love that objects in mirror are losing sticker. i actually saw that on a corevettes mirrors about a week ago. i love the rims too, great choice of style. if i would do anything, it would be blacked out tails and get tints. but your car is great looking dude keep it up.

i debated whether or not to tint or red out the tails but i really like the red out on a black tib i think it looks much better on a dark car....if it was any other color i would definitely tint the tails

as for the window tints they are coming soon..most likely going to make the backs 10 or 15% and not do the fronts...cops are real strict about that around here.

thanks a lot

lol i saw the "?" so i clicked on it and it says something really weird like you can have whatever% you want 4" from the top of the window, i don't really understand it. but my friend has 35% on his black cobalt, and to be honest, it is not that dark at all. kind of pointless for security issues. i can see through it, but it does give it a nice tint look at an angle.

did you want a custom box or just want the subs to sit flush. You can take the subs out measure the depth of the ring and get a piece of ply and, just cut the holes for the subs out . Screw and glue the wood on top of the box and re-carpet it. Car looks very good tho nice wheels very clean you could use some F/L headlights now and chrome fog rings

update.... i just got all of the dents and dings taken out of my car
i was talking to a guy at my work who does all our used car and he said he would hook me up
he got almost every dent taken out perfectly and he only charged me 60 bucks
i dont really have any before pictures but i could probably put up some afters
it turned out way better than i thought possible

so i havent updated this in a little while so here are some things that i have done over the past month or so
touched up the front calipers and painted the rotor hubs
Image

painted the fading gas cap metallic silver. i didnt really like it at first but its starting to grow on me. i might just keep the ring silver and paint the door back to black but it looks better than fading black
Image

Image

i also took off the tuscani and 2.7 elisa emblems. it makes the rear look sooo much better. i wish i didnt put them on there in the first place. i might still take off the other two emblems towards the bottom of the hatch still.
Image

i also installed my ventglows from DD they look great i love driving at night lol and my side vent glows are on their way. ill try to take a picture tonight but my camera is not the greatest at night

i also just bought a clay bar kit today so i will try to use it tomorrow hopefully it makes the paint a little more shinier.

feel free to tell me what you think

i like the orange on the engine cover....not as much on the covers around the rest ...but its your car....and you should get a chrome gas cover and ring to go with the lip on the wheels...the lip on your rim seems larger than alot of the whels i've seen....

its actually red idk if the camera makes it look that way but yea i actually regret doing the outside covers i might paint it back to black and keep the middle cover the way it is

i painted the gas cover silver i dont think i would like chrome

the lip is a little bigger than an inch

thanks for the suggestions tho:3_nosthum

just an FYI on the tint laws, my dad is a cop in dearborn. You cannot have any tint in the front windows unless you have a doctors note, you can however have a 4 in strip on the top of the windows and windshield but no longer. The backs cant be tinted darker than 35% but no one measures so really you can tint the **** out of the back. Cops don't really bother with tint tickets (at least in dearborn) but it is another reason to pull you over if your looking shady. In my city however cops have nothing better to do but to **** with us so i probably wont even bother tinting the fronts.


ps. if you get orgy's fl headlights i might be interested in your current ones.. mine are just so bad right now it's killing me
 
#42 ·
yea i know all the laws now im probablly going 15 in the backs and 35 in the fronts if i get a fix it ticket ill just take it off its not much more to include the fronts when i get them done
and cops around here are dicks every one i know who has tints has gotten tickets its annoying

there is one person who wanted to buy my headlights before you but if he isnt interested anymore i will shoot you a pm thanks
