1 month transformation... Pic Heavy
Hey Guys... Just though I'd share you with you what I'm up to. I've had it for about a month (2 weeks at the dealership for the clutch TSB). This weekend I should be finishing up the final touches of stage 1. I have the eibach pro-kit springs, steeda LCAs, and larger coolant reservoir (pictured). I'm about to get the Aeroforce Interceptor dual guage set-up with two AFR modules with SOS pillar pod today or tomorrow I think... It seems to be a nice set-up. So far here's the before and afters so far
Side: 5% on sides and rear, 35% on windshield, smoked rear side markers and front signals, <$10 plastidipped wheels, and can't forget the shorty antenna! http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r.../GT500side.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...lbyprofile.png http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...idipwheels.png http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...kedsignals.png Rear: smoked signals, centered "shelby" badge, and custom macs w/MRT H I know you are as sad to see that V8 badge go as I am http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...GT500-back.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...shelbyback.png http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...CustomMacs.png Front signal close-up http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...rontsignal.png Interior: MGW w/rally ball snake side emblem and Pioneer Avic D3 http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...T8/GT500-a.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...T8/shifter.png http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/shifter1.png Under the hood: JLT CAI/Lethal 2.6 pulley/tune... larger reservoir (not installed yet) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/IMG_1039.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...NT8/engine.png http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...8/resevoir.png |
looks mean, love the card trick with the wheels :P
|
Really sick looking ride man...red on black is the best combination there is on a GT-500 in my eyes :)
|
35% on the windshield? Im sure it looks cool but damn...
|
im more worried about 5% on the back window, how do you back up at night lol.
|
That is one GORGEOUS car! Love the PlastiDip! Think I'm going to steal that idea for my wheels! Beautfiul GT500, so envious :icon_toast:
|
Look's great man!
|
Sorry I meant to add that your ride looks sic... But im scratchin my head on the windshield tint.... Maybe you could black everything out and turn the glass into monitors with cameras on the outside. I want 2% sales profit for life if this becomes commercialized

Where did you get the tint down here in TX and what is the name? I'm very interested...
Cool looks good, though I'm still not sure on the whole plastidip idea... |
Wow your car looks sick, probably one of the best looking 500s I've seen on the forum.
Great job! |

How did you tint the turn signals? DIY or buy em? If so, link?
|
The car looks great man. But I am gonna say what most people are thinking... Don't upgrade to a GT500 and then plastidip the wheels.. I mean seriously. Otherwise the car looks good.
|
im surprised you havent gotten pulled over for the sides yet lol, especially black on black makes it look darker. looks vuury nice
|
Man, that's one evil looking ride you've got. If this is only stage 1, I can't wait to see how it looks further down the road.

Yeah I hear ya... this isn't a permanent deal. Just wanted to get a good look at things with the black wheels. I'll have them powdercoated soon enough. I guess that'll be part of stage 2...

Didn't tint them. bought them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/300596589193...WNX:IT&vxp=mtr Are you sticking with the stock wheels when you get them powder coated? If you don't mind me asking how much did you pick her up for and how many miles? Been thinking of selling mine and upgrading too. |

Not a problem at all. It is an 09 w/12k miles. Listed for $39.9k got it for $34k Not too shabby... |

Yeah I'll probably stick with the stockers... I used to have 20"s on the old GT and I liked the look, but I'm looking leaning more for performance this time, and I aslo really like the look that I have now.

Does anyone have experience with the Aeroforce Interceptor guages?
|
Nicely modded, Looks great! :)
|
Wow, looks great!
The black wheels and tinted lights really make the car look aggressive! Plast-dipping your wheels is an inexpensive way to find out if you like black wheels on your GT500. Smart decision. I like the card trick too, GENIUS! |

Haha that's hilarious! It's actually a new type of tint.... U can barely tell a difference really.. Its supposed to block like 95% of UV rays and an 30% heat. It's not cheap stuff at about $175 for the windshield. The rest of the car was $150, go figure. It's cut around where the inspection/registration stickers go. I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow or something. Supposedly Texas just made it legal a couple months ago for this tint. Although the sides aren't legal, but u get used to them. For backing up I just roll the windows down.
Well I will certainly have to read up on that. The important thing is that you can see well at night. Definently post a pic when you can. Maybe if you could take the same pic in a different car for comparison to a standard windshield in the same lighting. |

It's either this or something similar... So I was off on the specs a bit... but you get the picture haha |

Here are a few shots I took this morning on the way to work showing the tint from the inside... you can see around the inspection sticker and blank spot where my registration sticker go the difference... not a huge difference.
took a couple so you can see what the difference looks like with the 3-5% tint. Pics are taken with Iphone while driving so there is room for improvement haha.. |
Your car looks bitchin!! Could you also PM me where you had the tint done. We have 5% on ours but the place in Keller that installed it used some bunk glue and the back is now blurry...its terrible...especially since its Llumar film...

First road test yesterday on the toll ( in mexico ) started about 70 because he snuck up on me from out of nowhere... pull up beside me and off we went.. slowly pulled him (I was carrying a 250lb passenger as well) It was fun
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...UNT8/Viper.jpg finally lowered it yesterday, added the LCA's and panhard. Got it aligned today and I must say it handles MUCH better now. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...lbylowered.jpg |
