What do yall think about...GAWLD??

Just wanted to get some opinions on some exterior mods I had in mind.  What do you think about dipping lips and other chrome accessories in differant shades of gold?  I know I really havent seen too much of this in the vip mags.  Most ive seen is just some color matched lips or those flower print ones.  lemme know what yall think

Rose Gold

that looks pretty sick

could be  cool if done right....something different..

i think i would go well with the color of your car, and like zion said it is something different

nice, not too over kill

do it

:biggthumpup:

sexy can i

looks good...go for it, it flows pretty well with the car

I think it's a subtle hint of color and draws attention more to the wheels, not a bad idea.

Thats looks very clean and subtle. It almost looked like tinned copper.

Looks ill. More of a brass color than a gold. I am digging it hard.

that looks sick...you have my vote.

That is very nice touch.
 
especially if it comes out in that copper color

they look really good!id say do it.it matches your paint well.

I think this actually makes the car look 10 times better. Not sure what it is but the color brings the contrast of the wheels and body color together in a perfect blend. If you did the grill that color too... well then I might have to fly to where ever you live and shake your hand.

looks good :biggthumpup:

damn foo now that is some ill ish right there, you would be up there in my most innovative of members if you went through with it. This will definately be a leading move! :biggthumpup: You and widebody are killing it sick!!!

thatd be real sick

sorry for the off topic but damn that brown paint job you got is fuckin dope! do you mind telling me what color that is? i'm gonna respray my ride to the stock espresso but was also looking at other shades of brown so i can get that mirror finish look like yours, or maybe its just the cut and polish? i love your ride :biggthumpup:

DAM anis, that would be sick. LIKE I TOLD YOU FROM THE JUMP!!! Then when i get my "top secret" rims we gonna be shuttin the block down!!!

Thanks for the input guys.  The color will actually be a rose gold/copper tint.  Ill be doing the lips and front grill in rose gold/copper for now, with just chroming the calipers.

Im still crying about that $17K quote on just the labor for my custom trunk :sad:

shut..em..down..stylez!! lol

yeah 17k for labor alone is a bit steep man.

Do it.....dip those exhasut tips in it too while you are at it

I'm sorry... my vision has been acting up as of late.... did I see 17 THOUSAND DOLLARS for a quote on JUST LABOR for a custom trunk setup?!!?
 
 
Surely that was just blurry vision....... ya has to be.

that looks killer! I think it might need one more little touch though, like matching lug nuts or the bolts along the diameter of the wheel, either way it looks dope man. :biggthumpup:

I woulda hopped on some cod last night but your game filled up, weak :sad:

nope your eyes are not playing with you. they did quote him 17k. its rediculous imo.

^^ I think ill have to scan the quote, because I dont think any of these guys would believe it....lol.  It is an extensive amount of work.  Lots of custom motorized brackets, fiberglass, leds, plexi, etc...

I mean when you run an asian day spa in your trunk shit gets expensive

[quote=garagefresh;169359]I mean when you run an asian day spa in your trunk shit gets expensive[/quote]
 
 
I was about to say........ that trunk setup better provide handjobs on command.... even then, I don't think it justifies 17K...  Scan it as I would love to see what justifies 17K.
 
 
On a side note: How do you insure such work?  I mean in my eyes your car is worth probably close to what the original purchase price was, but that doesn't mean your insurance company thinks so.  Just curious......

do it... looks real clean.

Well there is insurance called stated value insurance.  Its mostly for exotic, replica, custom and classic cars.  You basically state the value of your car and pay your insurance premium based on that value.  Normally insurance deciedes what the value of your car is, with this insurance you state how much the value is.  You need recepits for all aftermarket parts, and pics of the entire car.  On top of that, with this insurance you cant drive the car more than like 3k miles a year.  It has to remain a "showcar".

Wow, only 3K a year?  I do that inside of 2 months... but for a car like yours that makes perfect sense.  
 
Thanks for edumacating.  I seriously want to see that quote if you don't mind scanning it for us.  My mind is still going :runcoold:.

I could think of alot more things to do with $17k than just a done up trunk.

Sounds more like a jack than a bill.

What else does he have left to do to the car?  If it makes him happy and if he feels its going to make it that much more impressive then I will tell him to go for it since its his car.  :biggthumpup:
 
I dont doubt the price tag on the labor.  I have no clue what he wants to do in the trunk but what he described is not cheap.  Labor rates vary from city to city.  Anyway you put it, this would be a long long project and quality work is not cheap.  Good luck cant wait to see what you come up with.
 
  [SIZE=1]This is why I didnt post any prices on my thread, see how this took over a thread about wheel lips lol.[/SIZE]

$17k is more than what the work is worth IMO. the work is only as good as the installer, not the shop he works for.

Absolutely sick!

Anis, I saw the car sitting outside today lol. Gimme a hollar when its ready and you roll by the shop to show everyone so I can make an appearance:biggthumpup:

So thats some damn good photoshop .. if it wasn't done yet .. I would look at dipping the whole wheel or photoshop that .. 

The color is sick ... but damn bro .. not much more to do to the car other then mod already modded things huh ? ;p

looking so sick ... btw I cant get my front as low as you ;(  i have welded bags and brakets ... but man I wish my front could kiss the ground too , wont ever be that tight haha

Ya, cant really do anything but tweak what I have now.  If you wanna go lower, id look at getting new brakets.  My brakets were custom made so they sit really low, making the car dump to the ground.  If that doesnt help, think about getting an SS kit, should drop you at least 25-30mm more.

[QUOTE=RaCinStylez;169754]wrd, should be done around 7/11 er so[/QUOTE]
just in time for my bday!! :dance:

bowlin!

rose gold ftmfw! put some south in yo mouth...
 
i'd do all the chrome.

are the spokes of the wheels tinted blue?

Custom work, subtle and classy.
It definitely gets my vote.

[QUOTE=car_lost;169925]are the spokes of the wheels tinted blue?[/QUOTE]

no, I thats a reflection of the sky on the chrome.

[QUOTE=RaCinStylez;170411]no, I thats a reflection of the sky on the chrome.[/QUOTE]

ok, thats pretty sick lol.

in that case, yes definitely go with the copper/gold tint on the lips.

I didn't read the rest of the thread, I'm sorry.

Go for it, it looks sick. Root beer and gold is  like cheeseburger and fries. With a milkshake.

blends good with the car color. Just wondering is this actually a chrome or anodize?

From that recent King event.

Also want to note that I like your idea..not this guys.  Haha.

I think I was at the wrong King event

i think you were at the right one. :giggity:

I wanna roll with you to that King event Agi.

Look at all the wimmenz

lol

damn those wheels look sick on your LS

did u do the rose gold yet? i cant wait to see how those turn out. :biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=jaynick808;173861]did u do the rose gold yet? i cant wait to see how those turn out. :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

no its still getting the audio installed.  After its done its going to go thru chroming.

Whens your car gonna be ready? I thought you said last friday:gonk:

lol buddy...are you new to cars? its never the day they say. NEVER.

[quote=airmax;174048]lol buddy...are you new to cars? its never the day they say. NEVER.[/quote]
 
 
LOL so true.  Expect it to always be 1-2 weeks later.
 
The trick I learned is to never leave more then 25% deposit.  leave too much and they will become lazy because they got paid.  At the same time, if you leave too little, the will move onto the next car that comes in so they can get paid.  25% seems to be the perfect amount

you mean 1 or 2 years right. :sad:

I learned that with the paint job on my old car. Gave 50 percent and promised to get my car within 3 weeks. 3 weeks come and not done yet. Month  later still working on it, month and a half I figure I throw in another 25 percent to persuade him and 2 months later it was done and I was unhappy with the job. Bitches.

lol i thought you were anis posting rofl. except for the last 2 sentences.

Well, Just got back from the stereo shop.  Car is still in a bunch of pieces.  I took the headlinder, backseat, and all the other interior pieces to get them restitched and what not.  Hopefully I will get a chance to put the car back together by the end of this month.  :crossfingers:

i wont hold my breath.

sick as hell.

Anis $17k WTF!!!!! :runcoold:

Do you know how many happy endings that can buy!?!?!? Im gonna have to pass by the shop and check it out.

You, sir, have great taste.

[QUOTE=NYC03Alti;178148]Well, it's next month already. Any updates?[/QUOTE]

Only updates so far have been interior/audio wise.  Im going to wait until after HIN Dallas to do the rose gold.  You can check my other thread out in the electronics section for my audio/interior update.

Damn I guess beauty come with a large price tag but whatever these cars arnt junk cars or straight sleepers that can take the abuse without a problem. Looks sick as hell keep us posted when you do the rose/gold.

different isnt always better dont "reach" for mods

That looks pretty damn sick. I have something like this in mind but in copper. I have 20" Fab porfounds and thought about dipping them in copper.
