May have over done the vinyl...

So a neighbor got the new gt2 rs and everytime i see it my jaw drops(his is all black). I needed to do something to make my car look more aggresive. So i decided the most cost conscious approach would be vinyl lol.

I vinyled the hood matte black, and then decided to do the roof cuz the guy said he'd do it for another $80 lol.

It is Oracle film on the hood and roof.

Here is a pic.

Your thoughts? Be gentle please... lol

I also want to powedercoat the wheels textured matte black, and was thinking about painting the intercooler gils or w.e they are called the same matte blackish color.

If you have a "vinyl" roof, can they make the rear side windows into opera windows? And I guess you can start referring to your seats as being covered in "fine Corinthian leather" (and say it in a deep voice with Spanish accent).

That looks nice! I like the vinyl.

Next mod that would make the most difference is wheels.
Have you checked out Forgestars?

Looks good...

I would skip the aesthetics for now and opt for a set of springs, sway bars and a good alignment, then possibly a tune in the future.

lmao after work if i remember i will take a few shots of the car at some beverly hills esque locations haha. stay tuned
and thank you!
Next i am thinking powdercoat stock wheels textured matte black, i just need to find a place.
Then i am toying with the idea of intercoolers/upgraded turbos. Not sure tho, i may stop before the heavy/expensive modding begins and set aside the money for F-car fund in a few years. We'll see.
