terryk2003 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 yup...i guess i'm a ricer now...anywayz, here's a preview...all i have done so far is the cross braces, but i'm going to be doing the motor mounts to match, and then i plan on getting a STB and painting it to match as well...you can't really see in the pics, but the color is Charcoal Grey Metallic with a few coats of clear!...try to ignore those ugly bolts too...i'm ordering some stainless allen head bolts as we speak! Before: After: and just for kicks...here's what moves the beast: and, no...i didnt paint the supercharger pulley...that first pic was before i had the modular system installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryk2003 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 toight, toight like a tiger what was your paint choice and how did you do it? well, first i sandblasted them in a machine @ work...right down to bare metal...then i put 2 coats of Self-Etching primer from napa, then 3 coats of Dupli-Color Gunmetal paint from wal-mart, then 3 very wet coats of Dupli-Color High-Temp Clear...i actually had so much clear that if they had been hanging up, it woulda ran to the ground, but since they were laying down...it dried like glass!

terryk2003 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 IIRC: He spent 40 dollars for 10 small bolts, 10 big bolts, and a pack of 100 washers LOL! yeah...except, that was 2 packs of 100 washers...i needed 2 different sizes!...i'm gonna wait for mine to come in and make sure they are the right ones (dunno if i like the idea of buying bolts online) then i can give you guys the parts #'s and such if you're interested...and, i'll have 8 spares for the big bolts and i'll have lots of washers, so i may be able to pass some of those out to interested people as well...i'll only have a couple of the small bolts left...sorry...

black_97_ls Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 i think as long as you don't get carried away, its not so much of a ricer thing to do and as long as nothing lights up or is bright colors either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwmin Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 looks pretty good. yeah, i painted my door sills and put the stickers on and the sticker tape took the paint right off in one large spot (but left the primer). i already have scratches on it, but i taped off the sticker and repainted and good as new (thank god i used flat black and no clear, although, its not really flat just not glossy). pc holds up WAY better.

CSI_MuNkY Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 That looks awesome! I started painting mine... didn't last, they got alll scratched up the first time they went in to a shop... I'll likely end up getting them powder coated when I do my engine swap... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Looks pretty good dude!! I should consider doing stuff like that. But with a silver car, it's either silver, black or gunmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with a silver car, it's either silver, black or gunmetal. actually, a silver car would be so much easier...the possibilties are endless...you can pick a theme and go with it...mine is redfire/silver(gunmetal)...all the decals on my car are silver...you could pick blue/red/etc ...anything goes with silver!
