    Nightshade FTW - Tinted Tails - 56k=BAD

    Hey guys, just an update.. went out and picked up some VHT Nightshade yesterday and tinted my tails. Didn't have a clue what i was doing, but it worked out very well in my opinion. :)

    Btw ignore the M badge for now... It's coming off, i just havent gotten to it yet. Came with the car. :P


    to





    And I also added a new Kamei badge to my grill to rep my bodykit.






    How i got the car - for the comparison:

    Before:





    Thanks for looking :D

    I would have gone with all reds for whatever the hell color your car is, and you need Euro grills in a bad way.

          Ok ok, I do have something nice to say. I like that you haven't VHT Nightshaded your kidneys yet...

            Not a fan at all of the sides. Makes it look like one of the old testerosa wanna be kits from the 80's.

              I would most definitely add clearcoat to those tails if you want them to stay dark for a long time.

              Other that than....nice color! :D

                  haha alright. i've put 2 coats of clear on but maybe ill do a couple more tonight.
                  and as for eurogrills, 99% of the population wouldnt notice a difference. And im not talking about e30 guys.

                    Damn, I really like your car. A lot. That Kamei badge is really cool, I've never seen one before.

                    And I know I'm going to be hung for this... but I actually don't think the ///M badge on the back looks bad. I know, I'm insane. And I'm not telling you to keep it. But it works somehow. Your car just has the styling for it or something, I don't know.

                      +3 on the clear, wet sand between coats to bring the shine up. They look a little flat to me.

                        Cool car, tails look pretty good.

                        So the night shade paint has a matte finish to begin with, or is it just the pics? I ask because I'm looking for something with a gloss finish(before adding clear).

                            Does is matter if its matte before clear??? I guess if it does, you would need to wetsand w/2000 and then buff it afterwards, but i do that after the clear anyways.

                            A matte or gloss finish will look the same under a gloss clear.

                              Looks good. That looks pretty close to MHW.
