Thoughts on painting front bar like new EVO

[CLuTZ]

I love it! Its nice an subtle and not over the top so it shows the lines well.

Do you think so? I think the opposite.... (that's just my opinion though)

The black inserts around the indicators look o.k, but it just makes it it look like something's missing in the middle of the bumper there.

You should have polished/painted your intercooler while you were there

I guess I'd u k ow the car well u will notice that stuff. For me I havnt seen those hatchbacks before so I don't know what to compare it to. But what ever it is it looks good. In the photo anyways

Satin black under the small lower rear wing section, but still see the back edge in white ?

Cheers !

It's been sprayed with acid a few months ago, which brought it up pretty well at the time.

Thanks again for all your thoughts everyone, i tell you what though... the amount of people having a 'stare' at it now has easily trippled!! Whether that's good or bad who knows??
Anyway, im stoked

P.S. would love to see one of you others do the same with your white Hypergears! Only cost me $70 and 5-6 hours of time...

Hmmm, not so keen to be honest... (took me a while to see what you did actually). Do it on yours!!

I think QIK-247 has painted his whole wing black

However, i am going to get ONPSI to tint the red rear plastic strip darker including the rear brake/indicator lights. (not too dark though, just a shade or two)

Mine is all black h34r: I have a small Sports Gear wing on my HSG.
Cheers !

yup my wing is fully black, im not a fan of the rear wing in white...stands out waaay too much for my liking.
Rvr looks good man, my front bar is coming off to get lip fixed and painted but i wont be going same way cos i dont want to copy, its good to be individual

Sorry mate just seen this...You can't tint plastic However there is a spray at Autobarn? called "Nightshade" its's a spray you just coat til your happy with the darkness...it's the same stuff you see all the bogan's paint their taillights

I thought i would hate it but it actually looks pretty good. The front doesn't look like it sticks out anymore which is a good thing I think.

Yep that stuff is great. Learn to paint on some perspex or glass first before you even attempt it. It's inconsistent in spray size so try a bit before you do your car.

Thanks Mitch... Yeah i only want a light dusting, nothing too hectic or illegal.

Thanks boys

love it. If mine was white, I'd copy you like a zerox.

Just bought 'What-Lag's forged and built 400hp 4G63!!

I'll be de-tuning it down to around 300hp due to the high k's I do, but it should still go hard.

Wont be installing it for a few months, but check out the specs on the link below...

Thanks man, we'll see... I still need it to be reliable, but should be good fun

That looks awesome mate. Personally i think it makes it look better. Rather than a whole lot of white everywhere.... You need to break things up a lil IMO. I ordered one of these frontbars for my SuperSports Gear from Japan just last week! I was lucky to find one of these Hypergear Bars because they're like hen's teeth to buy. Rare! Once again, nice work!

Thanks bud, yours looks sweet too!

Just swapped mine actually, for a 03 Dual Cab Rodeo plus cash...

Thanks for the thoughts
