Now with extra 20 more horsepower lol:smiley-rofl:

That looks great! I'm still looking for a good price on those crystals in bulk. Once I find it, I'll have some pics as some things myself.

wow the grille looks awesome
 
everytime i come around your city bling bling!

Very classy!:giggity:

ouch, my eyes hurt from all that blinkblink. Looking good, can't wait to see it in person/

wow, that is WAYYYY too much...props for trying something new though but i think it's a little extreme...

looks pimpalicious to me! Keep up the good work, wow now I don't feel so bad about using so many swarovskis!!!

love the emblem

+1 :shrug:

I would love to see a shot of the front end at a distance, its hard to judge how it looks overall from the closeups. That being said the crystals seemed to turn out nice, I just don't know if I like them on the car yet.

Will try taking the pic with my humble 2 pxl mobile cam phone....the effects look better at nite....

how much did you pay for the materials?

I would also like to know, with all these S. crystal threads showing up, it's perked some interest with me, but I've looked and there are about 10,000 different types, shapes, etc of those little things!

I'm surprised Zion97 hasn't seen this yet! I figured this is right up his alley! Hahahhaha! :smiley-rofl:

YEah I'm a little late chiming in..looks awsome..look at those crystals in the background..WOW.
 
Tell you guys crystals is the thangy thang now.:dance:

Bling bling.......not my steez but nice work

How well will that grill hold up to 70 - 80 mph driving and washing? Obviously we all hand wash our cars and will give a lot of care to that area but I'm referring to the rinsing off with a hose and whatnot.

i am not sure what glue he uses but I use a sun and water proof glue. I have had the crystals on my grill emblem for quite some time now.. I guessing about 4-6 months now and I wash my car by hand, I do drive the car at 70-80 on the freeway and no problems yet..but I think it depends on what kind of glue is being used and how much..if you really want a nice stick 3m offers a liquid adhesive..I actually have some for when I installed my mirror covers but anyways this shiat works really realy good but it is a little messy...

that look like a lot of work and concentration. and it only adds 10 horsepower :smiley-rofl:if  you had a VIP plate.....20 hp lol

Talk about bling bling....here is some more showoffs...

Mine works perfectly well when driving at high speed and car wash....I guess u must choose the right glue at the end of the day....look for those silicon alike which are clear...it was trial and error for me in the 1st place...

ekekeke....:smiley-rofl: Is there such thing as extreme VIP??

oh yeah theres such a thing and thats crossing over..Ihave seen cars with pieces of chubacka in it like its PIMP,,but I think its a joke..besides in AZ heat shit like this plastic seats and wookies wont cut it...to hot...and whats up with Monkeys and Hello Kitty..???I can see it in a chicks car but not in some dudes car...and I have seen in the mags of dudes posing next to their cars with hello kitty slippers..I just think that shit is so gay.....but to each his own...one pillow bites and the other wall rides.

hahaha^^

the chewie seat covers i like, but in any form of realistic usage, i fear their durability. its gotta be like sitting on a sweaty wild animal. not ideal in florida.

but to stay on topic, goo****id what SS are those on the grill? SS20?

That's right...its SS20 alrite! I only used SS10 & 16 for odd areas to smoothen the edges...so r u planning on yer next project?

yeah. my wife drives an 07 versa, and im thinking of messing with some interior parts to see how it turns out. i'd mess with my LS, but im trying to sell it soon.

Just do it bro....to me it'll look nice on any cars...y wait?

The hood ornament and the crest together looks a little too busy.

[QUOTE=kamakazee;77740]The hood ornament and the crest together looks a little too busy.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I agree.....I guess its not pratical to drive around but just for show purpose only..

very Nice !  will have to do the same one day on mine

I would have put the JP logo elsewhere on the car and not put crystals on the paint around the hood mascot.  The rest looks cool if you're into that.  But the others I mentioned just make it look cheaper and cluttered.  That's of course just my opinion.

I'm not sure if I like it. The 4 crystals around the hood mascot doesn't flow. Though the rest of the crystals on the edge of the hood looks good.

I was assuming the crystals on the hood were covering existing holes from the original emblem that he removed. I could be very uneducated too.

My god u r indeed educated....there r 4 crystals altogether where 2 of them have holes in it. It was from my original logo...sending the hood to patch up and to respray will cost me that is y i came up with this crazy idea

is that a wish? i think thats the first VIP style one i've seen. cool!

Yeah u r right...My ride's a Toyota Wish MPV 7 seater....There are a lot in Japan actually thats into VIP Style....even better..
