okay so i have a 1984 2.8l v6 sport coupe in pretty good condition. I want to boost the appearance on the car massively and then i eventually want to do a swap (engine, tranny, rear end) and beef up the brakes and suspension... probably lower it a bit too. yes, its an auto . ok. so i just got new wheels on it. what do you guys think?


the paint on the front end isnt in good shape right now. so here is what i plan on doing int he next couple of weeks:
I just bought 86-90 iroc side moudlings and the 3 piece rear spoiler. I'm currently looking into getting the 86-90 iroc front bumper cover as well, and then its going to the body shop and i want to respray the car in a dark gunmetal grey... similar to the darkness of it now, but more silvery/grey than the sandy brown it has now.
what do you guys think? then maybe tint the windows at like 18% tint after the bodywork is done? opinions?

 

Do what you think would look good. Tint always makes a car look good, even if it's a POS Honda.

Where are the pictures anyway?

 

on some image hosting site... just right click the little photo box thing and click open image in new window and ull see it.

 

What rims are on you car. are those torque thrust 2's or boss 338s?

 

theyre actually called replika r35s... what do you think of them on the car?

 

I had to right click and go to the image properties to get the URL, but wow man, that thing looks awesome. I think going a bit darker will look sick. Whatever you do to the exterior, keep them wheels. The polished lip contrasts well with all of the black.

 

thanks man, and ya for sure im using those wheels... i got the iroc side skirt and the 3 piece rear spoiler going on... trying to get the front bumper cover too... im thinking a very similar colour to the current one maybe just a bit more silvery/grey rather than brown. what do you think the car needs?

 

Well, since it's not my car, I don't know what it needs. Why not pick up a used 350 TPI instead of blowing all of your cash on the exterior?

$1,200 from Hawks.. Even a higher mileage 350 TPI would be a huge upgrade from your 2.8.

I'm no master designer, but as far as exterior is concerned, have you thought about billet badges?

If you go with a darker paint, window tint, and combine that with the black wheels, it will have a bit of a "murdered out" look, in other words, too much black. Small details such as the polished lip, and a couple billet badges will do a lot towards contrasting the overall look, without making it look trashy, such as them obnoxious chrome wheel well trim things do.



I can't begin to describe how much I hate these things, since I mentioned them.



I really want to pick up a couple billet Z28 badges for the side skirts and rear bumper. They look even better in a brushed aluminum style.

 

ya i do too i actually need them cus the side skirts i have dont have the badges... do you have any idea where you can find them? and i actually plan on going a tiny bit lighter in the paint... itll be the same sort of look but with a silvery metallic look to it.

There's a few more that you can find on Google just from searching for custom billet badges.
