New mods in mind

Hey Guys,

I had some new mods in mind. I for sure want to go with black vinyl roof.

I thought about a black rear diffuser and also paint my wing black.
You guys think if I do the trunk black and maybe the hood will it look nice?

Or is the trunk and hood too much?

Also anyone know a good place to get the roof vinyl done? Also how much will I be looking at?

I recently saw a S550 with trunk and roof black (didnt see if hood was) and it looked pretty nice. I was wondering if it would look nice on mine. The roof is for sure a go.

Thanks

MU- Any luck with the wheels? I wanted to call you but I cracked my phone so I cant navigate to your number. (2 more weeks left till my upgrade so I didnt want to go out and buy a new one

)

Also MU where did you get your Diffuser? DId you have it custom made?

Thanks

Also can anyone be kind enough to tell me how much will it cost (estimate) to powder coat 4 wheels?

Thanks

yo kar

I'm going to get my wheels powdercoated soon. the guy i talked to said hell do it for 250
for me for all 4. (17"). The place is in Sun Valley

I talked to one of the guys at the Just Tires in Glendale on Central (across from the Church) and he said he will do the tire mounting/unmounting for anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks.

Your looking at about 300 OTD.

300 is pretty reasonable. I'm running 19"s so it might be a little bit more.

What color is your car? I'm in Burbank but mostly in Glendale. Maybe i've seen you around.

My car is granite grey.
My car is pretty much stock right now except for minor mods so you might have.

The 250 quote I got was for any color with any type (gloss, matte, satin...)
What school do you go to?

Not sure if you went for it yet, but I just got my roof wrapped yesterday. These guys are located in the IE, but they have a mobile service also. They drove down to Orange County and did mine for $150. Give then a call, I came across thier add on Craigslist but give them a call 909.241.1351.

For sure man. I have two places that I got refferred to. Since we might be doing 2 cars we might get a better deal. It's 150 hopefully we can get it a little cheaper
