Yeah those Black Micas all look alike to me ... Ok I must go now before the HATIN start's commencing. (lol2) (band2) (lol2)mspdfreak said:I haven't seen a black mica in person. (dunno)
mspdfreak said:No, I mean "orange-peel". When paint isn't applied correctly, it takes on the look of the outside of an orange...lightly pock-marked. But as others have said, it may just be the metal-flake in the paint making it look that way. I haven't seen a black mica in person. (dunno)

That last shot is my MSP and Linux Racer's MP3
apocman said:Man, I have to admit I am drawn to that orange tint. I am trying not be, but I cant help it. TX Speed Demon, could you PM me with the information on where you had that done and any other additional information about the tint?
I would like to look into it...
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Naw Apoochy is all stock for now after having my exhaust come apart and taking some other stuff with it I told him to NOT **** WITH IT until his warranty is up or until he gets his little beater Kia back to drive. It is on loan to the older, older brother.TX Speed Demon said:As much as I wanted to just give you this (fu) cause I like being the only MSP with orange tint anywhere, I'm too nice so check your PMs.
Edit: You better not also be running a Greddy Type S cause that would just be too wierd.

(lol) nice...apocman said:...but if it is cheap and cool, it could be a future add on...
yashooa said:that tint is cool looks like a pair of shades.
Is it really UV shielding or is it just PURTY?
TX Speed Demon said:It shades a little, but not much. it's really more for looks.
Apoc: A Gredyy Type is is a kind of Blow Off Valve. It is not cheap, but it is cool. Here's what I needed to install it:
Greddy Type S BOV - $185
Aluminum Flange - $35
Aluminum Pipe - $100
Welding of Pipe and Flange - $85
Silicon Hose Couplers - Don't remember but I think it was like $35ish
About 30 minutes of watching JDM Sam install it.
Basically about $400 just to have my car sound cool when I rev it up and when I shift. It does nothing for performance and sometimes I feel stupid spending that much for such a small piece. But at the same time I felt it was a necesssary addition for local show purposes. It looks really nice when I pop the hood.
Also since it is venting rather than recirculating like the stock one I had to relearn how to drive the car to prevent stalling. I've since ordered a recirculation kit for it which should come in next week. I'll try it out and see if I like the results. if not, I'll recirc most of the time and vent at shows and meets only.

It was all good but don't mod if you can't build a new motor cause THEY WILL KNOW!!! Well maybe they won't know just practice acting REALLY stooopid about cars and refer to all the various parts as doo-dads and plastic thingies. lIke duh what is GASO-LINE? Oh it makes the car go!apocman said:Seeing how the only thing I know how to do to a car is stare at it. (thought) I better leave well enough only and wait til my warranty runs out. Besides my brother told me he would not touch it until then, since he would be the one doing the work. (no) I also remember when I first heard his exhaust broke, I had no idea what was really wrong with it, so I was thinking "Oh s*** I hope he didnt blow his motor" (boom04) and "how much would it cost out of pocket for a new engine". (sad1) Which in my case a dollar is to much (got wife two kids and the bills that go with that) (bicker) (bike) . So for now I will just make a wish list and watch and learn from others...
