The "Spicy Saloon" MSP build thread

^I agree completely. Nightshade is good for the tinting part, but that's all. It's not magic in a can, lol. If you want a good, finished product, you must clear and polish. I do buff and wax mine on occasion. Let me know how the tint film holds up. I'm curious if it hazes over time. You can however buff vinyl back to it's original luster, so that may be an option.

Car looks great as always Gray!

Im confused as to why you "printed tint" when they already have numerous translucent vinyls out there specifically for glass and lenses like that. Oracal makes a really good one actually

If I could print my own tint I don't see the point of buying it elsewhere

Benefits of being a vinyl installer We printed our own for many reasons, why pay someone else to do it when we can print it exactly how we want, as much as we need. For things like side markers it has to be very light tint, or it ends up looking to dark. Plus I needed to know it was quality material, all my experience with third party transparent vinyl has been not great to say the least. The stuff we printed on is automotive grade, and it'll last 7 years in direct sunlight without fading or the edges coming up.

I would really really be interested in a wooden shift knob! Hands down!(nana)

Sweet! I will be delving into that soon. I will message you when I'm ready to start taking orders.

I'm not into the whole stance or fitment or whatever nonsense that part of the "car scene" is, but I ******* love your car. Seriously.

Thanks dude. That's good to hear! The "scene" s*** bugs me too to be honest. But it can't effect my infatuation with wheel fitment. I do it cause I love it.




Spring is here and the snow is melting. Been playing with ideas..


LED layouts






Side exit? haha



grey wrap perhaps?

 

[clement_ghost]

Not a big fan of the side exhaust.... But would be nice with a center rear exit or dual exit. A friend did this a long time ago with his KL-ZE P5, he put a SRT-4 axle back and it sounded like a 350Z, it was awesome!

 

[JDM_Pro5]

dat grey doe

 

[Circuit]

Center bumper exit would be awesome. Or do a side exit through the side skirt.

Not really a fan of the grey wrap. Keep the Spicy, its unique and awesome

Got the ladies out finally.

I see you have the BC coils with SWIFT springs.......how is the ride quality, not when you low n slow but highway/city driving

 

[Bonks]

Don't worry homies, just playing around with ideas haha.

Swift springs are awesome. A must, in my opinion.

 

[brandonmcdow]

That side exhaust would be awesome.

 

[brandonmcdow]

And I like that first LED setup better, you could also do some LED's for the signals as well, I wanna create a setup as well, i think itll look awesome.
