New rear end

For those who have not seen, I had an extreme make over on the rear of my car. This build has a strong Euro influence mixed in with VIP. More pics comming tomorrow. 
 
-05-06 LED tails
-Exhaust cutout filled in on the rear bumper
-quarter panels and trunk heavily modified to fit Tails
-Top of bumper cut to fit tails
-Body line created on trunk to go with the line on the tails
-Inner trunk piece molded to trunk
-RADIUSED rear fenders about 3/4'
-Tubbed inner fenders
-Flared edge of the fenders
 
 
I must add, my suspension was designed to stop at that point because I am running aggressive fitment and the fenders would get messed up if it went lower. I am having the suspension shop correct this since a chunk of my fender is now missing and I can get lower. I am also having my exhaust lifted at the same time I get my suspension tuned. Stay tunned some time mid January-March for my front end build up.

I had it on for like 2 weeks just to cover some scratches before the rear got repainted.

Looks sick!  Love the LED tails.  I was behind a newer g35 last night and the LED tails look great at night.

Honestly I liked the smooth quarters before instead of the flared edge.

Thanks for your honest opinion
 
I am doing the front fenders the same to complete the look. The way I had it didnt look stock and that was my main reason for change. I also felt I would have to flare the doors to complete the look and the door handles would of got too close to the flares which I didnt want. Most importantly, I can get lower. I can actually drive at the height the rear is at in the pic.
 
I want people to think that I fit those huge wheels on stock fenders. Thats a more difficult look to achieve. I will take some more pics tomorrow on more angles.

Verrrray Nyace!  I like, getting very excite!

hm somehow i liked the smoked taillights better :D but thats just a question of taste..nonetheless very nice car..thats what i call vip

now that is a beautiful f50. keep up the good work.

looking good!!

I like the new taillight setup, very clean. I like it because on the last Q45 made, I wasn't really digging the trunklid tails so with yours just having the outer tails, seems more appealing to me. Good job.

I'm not really feeling the look of the 05+ tails without the trunk pieces (it looks a bit too angular on a rounded car like the F50), but props on making it work. Is it me, or do your front fenders not line up too nicely with the doors? Also, do you actually drive this beast in the winter?

said it before... and now again. thanks for doing such a kick-ass job of representing the east coast.

One word: [I][B]CLEAN![/B][/I] So when are you movin' to southern Cali? Your car will love you for it and you will be very welcome. BTW I love the drop/stance got more shots (360) for us to drool over?

I Like the tails!! i want to see it 100% b4 i make a complete opinion

no fuckn around here.. nice Agim

My wheels are too aggressive and I blew a fuse on my air suspension in the middle of no where so I had to drive the front when it was practicially slammed. The fenders poked out from when I had to make turns. My fenders are getting redone in a month or two along with my front end.  Oh and Yes I drive it in the winter and in the snow

NY is where my heart is at but if I can get a high paying job out there, anything is possible. Just not before 5 years.
 
 
More pics comming later tonight in every angle. I had a little photo shoot with my friend Ray and im hoping they came out good.

man you are definitely doing the d**n thing. i kinda agree on the smooth quarters looking better, but i understand what you are saying. can't wait to see the front end completed. i'm really hoping you can get that presidential action. ever consider uping the rim size? that car makes the 20s (iirc) look small. 21s would be nice, but either way one of the best imo.

oh snap, cant wait to see the front done

Wood grain 3rd brake light.  The quailty is excellent im just not feeling it 100% on that location.  I may change up the decklid some how to make it flow better

Bent rim from NYC streets, nothing new for me

SWEET!!!!

NIce pics car came out really nice...BReak light looks good...suggestion...cough cough...do your seat belt guides or what ever there called and speaker covers if you have them...I am starting mine next week..I am going to do my rear deck speakers, vents and the seat belt guides..the more parts you do through out your car the better it all flows...for example your center console if that was done from the same picture it would flow better...eeehhh but little by little man...
 
back on topic cars is awsome and I think the trunk came out sick...nice touch...quality looks perfecto!

The wood looks great when looking back from the drivers seat.  The red reflector is what I dont like when looking at it from behind.  Im sending you more stuff in a couple of days.  Im happy with the work you did.

damn that looks good.

glad to hear that you were pleased...I know I was when looking at the shift knob....I was actually amaized...and was like I love this color woodgrain....to bad my car does not have this color...all though I do like the darker wood grain very much...Bidseye maple has allways been my favorite...I had a 2003 Chevy truck that I purchased and had the interior upgraded to a peanut butter leather..like kinda caramel...and I purchased  a birdes eye maple kit for it...WOW those two colors flowed very well...food for thought incase you ever wanted to rediew your seats...peanut butter leather, with birdseye maple on a green color car...SHOW STOPPER..SHOW SHOW STOPIN! LOL

Thanks guys, I appreciate it but its not done.

I wanted to do peanut butter 05 seats since they used the same leather thats in the Jaguar vanden plas for the 05-06 but I think the exterior goes best with light leather.  Maybe you can pm me a quick photoshop to change my mind.

sure thing boss send me some pics of your interior and  I will chop it for you...

nice mod dog. doin it big in new york. :biggthumpup:

Whip looks proper, I was in awe behind you today as you rolled and that shiznit was sparking. I got this spot out by me in Jerz that's perfect for a shoot whenever youre ready.

I Like it, i wasnt a fan of that rear end, but you made it look alot better.


Are you planing to add a chrome border to the rear bumper like in the y33 Qs? Cause it looks like it needs one imo. But thats just me.

lookin gangsta.hard core.

i have said it before, but you have one of the most complete vipcars in the states. the work put into this car really sets it apart from all the other sick vipcars in the states with only 'air-sus, wheels, kit' group, and those cars are sick too!

19s explain a lot, cause that car is huge. big body for real. you're gonna radius the front too right? i think once you gain some clearance 20s or even a 20/21 deep lip dish combo would be sick. i've noticed cars in the mags runnin +1 combos, which i didn't expect. i'm usually pretty happy with my little maxima, but this build is really making me feel the non-platform pressure. hopefully in about a year i can jump in a y34 and get down to serious buisness.

What size tires are you runnin? I like the stretch!

You know the deal, im available just about everyday.  Lets just let this snow and slush clear first since im not a pro drifter.

Yes you read my mind.  I am not a fan of the moldings on the F50, they are too big imo.  I might go with a thin strip like the Y33 has.

Thanks I appreciate that.  I want the kit to be the icing on the cake.  That will be my last step.  Im going to mismatch a few different kits together and add something to it like a body line along the bottom or something like that to set it off.

I have to see if the bumper im going to order sits at the same exact spot as the stock one.  If it does then I might radius 1/4th' to get it on the ground.  They actually radiused the rear closer to an inch when I messured it.  As for the rims, Thats something I will think about in 09.  I might go heigher in size.  A Y34 would be a real good look.  Only a handful in the states that are VIP or planning to go that route.  Good luck.

235/35/19 on a 11.5' wide front rim
265/30/19 on a 12' rear rim  The rears have much more stretch though.

Damn.  agree with yakuzasoarer 100%.   I'm sold on the new rear.
I like the maple woodgrain as well.

I actually test drove a silver F50 last night and thought about trading my 00 RL for it plus cash.  Sadly it is in pretty rough condition exterior/interior and has a hit.  They ride quite nice and the smooth power is addictive.

one of my top fav F50's on this site! or even the only one that's done right! :biggthumpup:

no doubt, there has never been a car stateside that represented what I thought was the nicest vipcar for that specific chassis. This one comes very close.

I sure hope so....so what happen with the alignment with the fender and the front door?  looks like the fender is sticking out alittle.

I answered it somewhere in the post.  My air suspension fuse burnt out a few times and I was like practicially slammed up front so when I had to turn the wheel, the fenders got pushed out:shrug: .  I took care of the fuse issue, I upgraded to a flat 200amp fuse so I shouldnt have any more issues.  Im also not concerned about the fenders since my whole front end is getting redone and the  front fenders will match the rears
