Hiya all.

I live in Pasadena, CA now :]

I thought i should post my boxy! finally i took pictures for the first time in almost a year...haha

enjoy :] I tinted the windows. Limo tinting on the back. front i think 20%.

Smoked headlights and taillights...painted grille. Debadged. Window visors. British license frame.

I got pulled over 2 times because of my tails, but just warning thank god :-D haha

I need some black rims and tailgate spoiler :D w00t!

I remember when i told my mates i got the element and they were like....yuck! After they saw my car they were....wow..not bad?! hahaha

Come on....Elements are the sexiest car...or am i bloody wrong? :D


Enjoyyyyyy~ More pictures to come later :D

anyways, should i put decals or just keep it clean? i need suggestions :]

Thank You all! Cheers!

brill! so i guess no decals then :smile:

i dunno, i liked those like...i love my honda but in a slighted way? haha i thought they were cute!

i used to have the LED license frame...but the cop made me take it out....:confused:

I dunno if it was one of the EOC guys, but i was parking it and he saw my LED frame...and stopped...and had a small chat...in downtown LA :-)

Sweet ride!!! I vote no stickers. You really start looking at the lines of the E when there's no badging or stickers. You've done a beautiful job on it.

The only thing I'd try would be smoked headlight/signal covers. Not sure if it's legal, but clean and shadowy rules.

No decals, the look you have is very nice as is.

No decals or stickers it is :D thx!

but i like how the Drift E looks with all those decals...haha

I feel like something is missing...besides the tailgate spoiler...

haha and rims of course...maybe fog lights?

I never liked the way how the stock Fog lights looked like. :|

EleMugen, You have a clean E ;-). You will have to make to the next So Cal Meets which will be July 26 and August 30. Check the So Cal Chapter forum for more information. You will want to be at the meet on the 26th for sure. Thanks for joining us in the asylum! Oh yes, as fcz1 suggested, you do want to get the EOC decal ;-).

ELEmugen

Yep , looks nice and clean , why not just powder coat or paint the inside trim on your SC rims Black and leave the silver outer part , you should lower it to ...... Looks great ... No Stickers looks good but well placed stickers looks cool to , it's just a matter of what you like .... Nice E and Enjoy ~ Chris :)

Welcome!!! You have a really nice looking "E." As JSmooth pointed out, you must join us for "T Mac's Big SoCal E-Vent" on July 26th, and the "SoCal Fall Meet" on August 30th. We hope to meet you, and see you at both E-vents.

I will sure be there!

This weekend im doing some headlights mod again...not more smokey since its illegal and i have enough trouble...hahaha

but first is putting an eyelid. :cool:

and the other option is painting the orange signal turn smokey, which will be harder but looks great. Let me know! as for the sticker advice, as soon as they put up the EOC i might do something cool with it too....

come on! life of an artist...is always fun! :wink:

My suggestion before was for no decals on your clean ride - but how about just one nice little chrome one, read window, left side - available here for a good price.....:rolleyes:

haha! thanks everyone.

Yes, i want the EOC decal...chrome? i will order it! :D

but one question, if i constantly wash my E will it fade or destroy a little bit??

TonyS
06-30-2008, 01:38 PM
I've had no problems with the chrome - just about a year now + car washes.
The little dot in the 'dot com' can be a @#$$% to get on but a steady hand (or some vodka) should do. :)

Looks good!

If you did any decals, I'd have to suggest the red a-team stripe on the sides :D

ELEmugen
07-01-2008, 05:23 PM
haha, and paint the wheels on black? :D

btw, any sc owners painted their wheels?? hmm....i messed up my front one when the tire was flat.

maybe i should paint them all black! no trim left? :smile: we will see :cool:

Twilightzero

Don't paint the wheels, get them powder coated. It'll last longer and look better :D

And love the look of the sleek sexy black box!

ELEmugen
07-01-2008, 05:53 PM
do auto body shops powder coat them too? haha

i should leave it to the experts :D and thx for the compliments ;-)

ELEmugen

i vote no other decals. my chrome eoc sticker has stood up to a year and a half of desert heat as well as car washes and it still looks like it did when i first put it on. ive driven through pasadena several times in my e going to catch i-5 on my way to oakland, there are a ton of elements in socal.
what kind of tint did you use to do the eyeylids? im going to have my headlights apart soon upgrading the bulbs and i like the look of yours.

ELEmugen

I used the left overs from my tail lights tint. I got it in ebay, i searched for smoked vynils for taillights.
They used to have the already precut and the whole vynil, i bought the whole one which wasnt a lot.

I messed up couple of times so that killed my vynils.

But i will look it up for you and give you the link once i find it. :]

Your E looks amazing. Really. Great job :)

And definitely no decals. I feel like that would kill the clean, sleek look of it.

ELEmugen
07-15-2008, 03:18 PM
Long time ago i thought of putting a black decal, u noe so u cant really tell but u can if ur up close??? haha

if EOC had a black one...that would be tricky :D

Skelement

Now a black decal... that's another story. That might be pretty cool...
