Photos: Jet Black Roof, Completed Custom Rear Diffuser, Front Wheel Spacers

Hello everyone, just got my car back the other day. This time, I did:

Jet Black Painted Roof (including molding strips on top)
H&R 10mm Front Wheel Spacers with 35mm Bolts
Custom Painted Rear Diffuser (finally a finished project)

I took lots of photos yesterday to show various angles, also had fun playing with my new camera, a 8.1 MP Sony Cybershot.

I am 100% pleased with the new look and (to me) the beast is looking better than ever...VERY aggressive and clean.

Next, will be the Vorsteiner GTR hood...being painted this week...and will be installed in a couple weeks.

Will be interesting to hear what you all think.

More photos to come in a few minutes also.

Thanks, Garrett

Nice photos.

Really like the black roof, matches the tinted windows nicely and contrasts with the silver really well. Love what you've done with the rest of the car aswell. Can't wait to see the GTR hood!

Keep it up.

nerio02 and others,

Big thanks!

It is very tempting to bring some jet black into the whole GTR hood idea...but I am going to just have the entire hood painted silver, even the vents. My idea there is that it will have a clean look, and give each vent definition and shadowing. Most people leave the vent areas carbon fiber or a dark color. Carbon fiber is not the theme of this car...otherwise, I would leave the vents in carbon fiber...You will still see carbon fiber underneath when you open the hood though. If I decide later on, I could always have the vented areas on top painted jet black...I'm trying to be super extreme with this car, but at the same time not over do it...nothing else planned besides the GTR hood right now, would like to keep the ideas flowing though.

yes you are maybe right if you get too mutch black in the spotlight it will draw attention off the car to a sertain point. thats true but i remember that daniel from beastpower did a photoshop on his car before vorsteiner was making the hood and have to say it wasent my thing. it was also totally silver.i imagen that you seen that picture ???? cant copy it to here ,its got a copyright on it . if you dident see it yet check it out .i was thinking of a sort of stripping on the hood something like if you torn a piece of paper in the middle from small to wide with a torn edge, to the windschield that flows over on your roof.and with silver slats.thats maybe to ricy , just a idea

here is the link , second post.

GMAN - you going crazy again I see. Looks great!!

I have been thinking of giving my whole car a new once over. Only need it in a few places but thought I would do the whole thing. I dunno yet on that.

Looks great. Hopefully the weather gets better and we can all take a nice drive around and take pictures.

Give me a shout!

Very nice!
