Update on my Coupe

Hey guys, it's been a while since my last post, so I thought I'd post something.

New since last post:
Black front grill
Eye lids on headlights
-(I've always liked how some cars pulled off eyelids, and I wanted to try them on my coupe.)
Fast Intentions LTH (Not-Installed yet)
Got all 4 of my wheels on again

Lmk what you guys think about the eyelids, I'm not too sure on them

Hey man, if you like the eyelids that's great. Don't let anyone change your mind.

I personally don't like them. I think they look tacky.

not a fan of eyelids on any car.

why do you want your car to look like its "sleepy" or has Down's Syndrome?

Usually I dislike them. But, for some reason, on Black Obsidian I'm really digging it. I think it accents the car well along with the decal on the top of your windshield. Great job!

Not normally a fan of eye lids but they make your car/color look really mean, as long as it doesn't hinder the headlights I say keep them. Now, you just need an angry motor to back it up.


Edit: tried to find your ig account but no dice?

Looking pretty good there, the eyelids are a bit heavy, maybe a bit thinner. Here's some that Toxic did w/ his build that goes well

Hello guys,

I am back here with a small update on my car. I don't post often on these forums, but I do pop up from time to time and I like sharing the latest from my car.

So starters, I did a complete color change, all jambs, did not paint engine bay.




Gave the wheels some love and adjusted my fitment a little (still weak) and she was golden


I also took some time to bake open my headlights and paint the housings and put some LED switchbacks in there. I tried to stray away from halos and all that over played stuff, didn't want anything too flashy. The LED switchbacks were an awesome choice because (for those who don't know) the Ligjt will be white while driving and switch to orange and act as your blinker. Came out looking gangsta af in my opinion. (Everyone's entitled to their opinion, I'm just here to share)



I wish I could provide dates with all the pictures.

Somewhere between then and now I decided to get new wheels.

Varrstoen ES6
19x11 +25 squared
(20mm spacer up front)







Day of Drift; San Antonio, Tx



Texas Invasion; San Marcos, Tx <br/>(You can see my headlight well in this picture )<br/>



I love the way these wheels look but I didn't like the fact that they were reps, so I decided to part ways from them, also decided to part ways from my fortune auto 500 coilovers as well. (Coilovers still have 4 years of warranty and are for sale!! )

I'll try to stick around the forums a little more, but next update will be big! (idk if this post is considered a build thread or not)

What a transformation...I'm impressed by what you did with the headlights!

Where did you source the LED switchbacks?

Diggin the wrap job big time! Gloss gray isn't too common and when done well it looks really good. That grill really completes that front end and nice work on the lights.
Try to update more often as it's always something fresh for us to look forward to.
