Great pics. But, your sig says SGM. It looks like space grey. Looks great.

Honestly, I didn't know there was such a thing... haha

adrean8j · 05-15-2011, 11:51 PM

^^^No big deal...Sparkling Graphite Metallic was only offered in Year 1 and is relatively rare these days....it is similar in some ways to Space Gray but has a different "sheen" to it....more purplish, bluish than silver....BTW love the trunk...considering getting one myself...

Kamal · 05-16-2011, 01:31 AM

SG/SGM = slow gray metallic

Nice pics and I love the dull grimey backdrop in the first set of pics. Although my car is less aesthetically pleasing, I think we should do a B&W photoshoot sometime.

Yeah yeah yeah... We will see once the COBB comes out for the N55! Thanks, it is a great industrial location not too far from my house. We should do a photoshoot sometime. I was going to say invite onefastman and rxbmw, but I would be the only token Slow Gray car.

Car looks good but you need either more carbon fiber to pull that trunk off and some aftermarket wheels or to paint the trunk and leave the lip carbon fiber.

AchtungF80 · 05-16-2011, 10:17 AM

I like your style! SG/SGM looks great against old industrial fallout. Digging the CSL trunklid too!

Thanks! Just ordered the iCarbon diffuser from **********s!! I think that should finish off the rear end. I plan on getting wheels, tires, and camber plates for the final purchase of the summer on the car. Just having a hard time deciding which wheels I want. Next summer will be the hood, suspension, and who knows what else. I plan on painting the trunk eventually, maybe... I'm going to leave it exposed for a while to see if it grows on me and if a lot of people like it. So far so good. My take on it is that if I paint it, then I most likely am not going to strip the paint off to return it to CF, so I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Thanks!! I'm glad I found that first place that I shot. It is a very unique industrial building.

onefastman · 05-17-2011, 06:54 AM

Don't paint it!!!

It blends well with a dark colored car.

If you do anything, put a clear coat over it that it tinted so it looks body color from afar and cf up close. See m3 forum for examples.

That's a damn good idea... a la F40

The1 · 05-17-2011, 05:08 PM

glad to see this trunk on a car, makes me want it more

I just need to find a stock looking hood in carbon fiber and i'll be really happy.

that's less then the 3Ddesign hood for $6000

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to paint it, especially since I ordered the CF diffuser a few days ago, and I think it will look sick from the back with both exposed CF.

Any links to the tint?

I want a stock looking CF hood as well... I saw one somewhere for a decent price...

ahhh.. here we go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...Q5fAccessories

The1 · 05-18-2011, 08:49 AM

The Ferrari F40 had such thin paint you could actually see the carbon fiber weave through it. That's what he's referring to.

Holy crap that hood is cheap....... kinda scary cheap. Makes me wonder if any of the hood latches and stuff will fit properly.

May have to look into this. Probably single sided carbon and fiberglass underside.
