Blackout almost complete
 
Runs powder coated
Painted reflectors, kidney grills, side markers.
Just need a light tint on the tails and paint the rear badges and I'm done. All rounded are also black and white now. Did it after I took pics..

Thought about anodising the tail pipes black... :)

GmoneyLI 03-15-2012 11:13 PM

My powder coater said they can coat it in black ceramic. But I'm debating getting the Dinan exhaust that u can get in black ceramic.. So I'm weighing that option

JDM-20L 03-16-2012 12:06 AM

Badass!

Good idea. :thumbup:

Looks awesome! Is it lowered?

GmoneyLI 03-16-2012 12:49 AM

No not yet. I'm not going to go too aggressive with the suspension. Going I stick with Dinan because it retains the EDC system and doesn't sacrifice ride quality. Its only a 3/4" drop. I think it should be just right.

Looks menacing!

Tint the reverse strip in the taillamp!

I was thinking of tinting the tail lamp and leaving the reverse strip clear lol

I think that would look great on your X! Some Smoked or Charcoal Lamin-X (I have sheets available HERE) would give the lamps a great look against the rest of the black on the SAV.

Does the percentage in the description the same as regular tint? As in the lower the percentage the darker it is

Lamin-X is backwards. The 30% is darker than the 6%.

I did the lamin-x on the taillights and think it looks great - I really wish I'd left the reverse light un-tinted though - which is what you were talking about. Go for it! I used the gunsmoke because I didn't want too dark either.

GmoneyLI 03-16-2012 07:17 PM

I think that gun smoke is probably the way to go for me

Hammer 03-16-2012 07:20 PM

I think this is K.I.T.T.'s offspring. :)

Lamin-X on the headlight and tailights would complete the job.

Thanks.

Tinting the headlights would just reduce their effectiveness so I'm not gonna play around with that lol it would look sick though

u can see my sexxxxxy 7 loaner in backround lol

NEIL

C's Bimmer 03-17-2012 12:32 PM

That's Neil's place! LOL!

Hey Neil - How's the 7 treating you?

C's Bimmer 03-17-2012 12:34 PM

BTW - Don't do ceramic coating on the exhaust. It peels. And don't have Elite do it, because they have screwed up way too many customers exhausts doing ceramic coating on the tips. Just have them PC it, like I did on my M5. Or, have Matt at Perfect Ten do the exhaust in a gloss black, like he did on my X. Ask Neil -- he knows all about my stable of cars.
