ChasWG Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Some new Hottness Mods! Blacked out Grill and HIDs http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5474357765_7fe7f585b6_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5474953682_2a0f0601dd_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5137/5474524251_a8a32761d6_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikonosin Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looking good! What HIDs did you end up with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasWG Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) They are a type of McCulloch. I bought them back in 2003 and had them in my 1999 VW Passat with a set of Euro spec headlamps. They totally rocked! But the original bulbs from the Passat were H1s, so I had to get some new H7s. I got them in 6000K color temp. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5475121988_29e6f362b5_z.jpg Hows your grill holding up?

ikonosin Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hows your grill holding up? Great! That plasti-dip is strong stuff. I'm still holding out some hope of a decent after-market grill showing up (I am not a fan of the current batch of mesh fill openings, I'd like a little more style).

ChasWG Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm with you. I like the GrillCraft offering, but it is lacking some style. But the factory grill is fine like this. I too will keep this one until something much better comes along. This mod only cost me price of the Plasti Dip and well, the car too I guess...

legacy360 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Planning on blacking out the headlights? I think that would top it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasWG Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah, I'll black those out too, just not right now. My wife thinks I'm nuts as it is now. And I have to save myself something to do later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Beautiful job on blacking out the grille. Looks OEM. What did you use to create the front chin spoilers? Trade secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMA44 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 ^ is that the ebay lip just cut in the middle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasWG Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks Gire! That was the idea I was going for. Mods that look like the way the factory would have (should have!) done it. Yeah, its one I found on eBay. I was planning on connecting it all the way around the front end, but I only bought the 7ft length, and our cars need at least 8ft to go around from edge to edge. I should have measured it before ordering it. 7ft is the standard length the guy sells, but he'll sell longer if you ask him. I got the lip on almost on and was starting the right side corner when I noticed it wasn't going to make it all the way. So I cut it near that dip in spot and then started over again with the factory cut edge on the right fender arch back toward the center. Then cut it again. At first I was a bit disapointed, but after I was done and stood back, I liked it! This matterial has to be attached via screws and washers. I tried the 3M double side tape and it wouldn't stick to the foamy rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the 3M double side tape and it wouldn't stick to the foamy rubber. i have the same one. i ordered my first one and it fit perfect end to end i mean it looked like it was measured perfectly. i bottomed out in my bro's driveway and tore it up. ordered a new one and same thing as you, it was too short when i got towards the end. i emailed him and he sent me a new one which is still too short. i made the 2nd one work so now i have a brand new spare if I rip this one. the tape sticks for me fine. have to clean under the bumper with water/soap, than rubbing alcohol and then stick it. haven't had any problems. I like what you did though, it's original and looks great! nicely done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that separation in yours. -Rogue77` I'm just here for the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasWG Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Let me see what I can come up with, probably a cell phone shot. Give me a few minutes. Edit: I'll just start a new thread so this doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I'm sure others would like to see this to. OK, here's the new thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/mod-front-lip-spoiler-156922.html?p=3297149 All the info on the lip spoiler is over there with pictures. Hope that helps!

white 3.6R Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 and yes, they do touch the inside lip of rear quaters...just...a bit of rolling the lip will fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faded-a-fool Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 and yes, they do touch the inside lip of rear quaters...just...a bit of rolling the lip will fix that. What size tires? What offset and width are your rims? If you went with a different size, could you avoid the rolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasWG Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Damn White 3.6R, nicely done sir! But I thought that the Aussie cars had blacked out headlamps from the factory? It looks great with the wheels being so bright. And that turn indicator in the mirror is super cool too. I hate the NA cars compaired to the JDM offerings.

Mark1657615402 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 In Australia ony the GT and Sports models come with blacked out lights, the rest of the range including the 3.6 are chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
