Saterday morning Darth looked like this.



Took my wife to the dentist while in the parking lot I changed all the 194's (except the side markers) to Polarg M4's also changed out the amber turns and low/highs with Hellas. Then a stop at the body shop to pick up the freshly painted parts before heading to the tinters. Early Sunday the fun begins and ends many hours later.











I'm back.

All I really need to do on the outside (other than clean) is black out the chrome around the windows and LEDs. Just need it to get a bit warmer.

I love days like that when you have mods that are really easy and it makes your day. Great job and one question what do you use to tape the chrome?

hitokiri89

Nice work sir , when I saw your car today I didn't realize it was the new Darth lol . Your not putting the front lip on ?

Mixedfruits

the rims look kinda out of place the red

hitokiri89

They look good in person . The pictures don't give the wheels justice .

denot

Agreed... the spokes looks too small for the car. But the rest of the car is just purely awesome!

Ron Jr

Scothbrite makes a product called black out tape. Pep boys carries it. Been around since the early 80's.

Front lip got destroyed unfortunatly. Hit a hig curb a bit to hard.

Looking back, I see you have a different diffuser on the car. Is that one for dual exhaust?!?!

Spec_Davis

thanks Ron what aisle can i find it in?

AZN Optics

Good to see Darth back in action Ron

covance

great job! what are the tint %s?

also would you mind sharing where you got custom badging from and how you attached it ?

thanks for the pics and info!

Ron Jr

It is by the pinstripe tape most of the times.

Ron Jr

Auto Zone stocks it by a company called Pilot. It is almost the same as MB's font just a little larger. Held on with double sided tape just like MB's. At a buck a letter it isn't bad. Tint is 50 front 35 rear

Ron Jr

Same ET diffuser I have had for awhile just painted black.

covance

thanks man. is there a best brand of tape to use? also are those tints 35 front 25 back?

Ron Jr

Thanks Mike it is good to still be here. The VW and Audi forums are not as active.

Welcome Darth Twin, like always doing a good job Ron.

You know the chrome stripe that is hanging on the doors down low, are they just like debading, and for the Avatgarde marker and the Elegance and blue eff emblems on the fron bumper are they also like debadning?

Btw looking good. Like your mods black on black. What do you think about black and gray?

Scat01

Looks great - not sure about the cleaning reference, looks spotless also....

Did you use the blackout tape on the chrome strip above the rear license plate or have that painted? If that is the tape...I'm in.

Can you post a close up of the rims? Curious about the red center cap and pinstripe also, not sure if it is totally badass or if it detracts from the overall black look.

AkaSigFreak

Yes. Very easy to remove. The only emblem that is more difficult is the center star on the trunk.

Saw it in person yesterday. These pictures don't do Darth any justice. Looks awesome, especially the back end. When those rims are moving with the LED DRL's and the new grille, this thing looks badass!

Here is a picture of my SL style grille I picked up from him and installed.

i really hate these red rims man but if u like it then u know its ur car. they make the car look cheap in my opinion.


How do u like the 2011 btw? does it drive better than the 09 u traded in? im driving the 2011 too.
