Hey dave...loving the car.

Were the side marker lights also painted black?

I say keep them off permanently!!! Supercharged GS400 is the perfect stealth car.

Dave, what is your secret to such beautiful pics?????? I still cannot take pics like that. I am absolutely positive it has nothing to do with my camera - but everything to do with my lack of skill.

Your car looks so awesome. Can we see some full shots of your car now and not just sections of it????

They're painted with a transparent smoke spray, did it almost two years back and its held up great! Click
here for more details.

I might, but I really like the look of the black chrome badges on a black car. It's like a nice accessory for the car and contributes to the overall 'evil' .

Camera is definitely part of it - my new(er) G5 takes better shots than my old Sony. I've found three things that make a big difference in my auto pics.

1) A stable surface to put the camera on (not holding it). A decent tripod is best (and what I used for these). 2) Use the timer so you are not moving the camera when you take the picture. Push it and run away. 3) Take two pictures, one with flash one without. Depending on the angle and surface, one will look better and you won't wish you'd done it the other way. Just take two and delete the one that doesn't look as good.

We can carry on the photo discussion in PM or in another thread if you want to keep this one on topic .

Dave,

Congrats on the new "add-on". Can't wait for the detail write-up. BTW, when are you going to change your screen name to "DAVE_FI_GS4"?

no....... he's going to leave it GS400 but w/ supercharged underneath it like lexiting has turbocharged!!

Kajukenbo

Damn Dave.......(speechless)
how is the noise level of the Supercharger? I guess you don't have to worry about smog in your state.

Only if California has less stringent smog laws.......
Has anyone in Cali tried RMM supercharger and passed smog test?

rominl

iTrader: (4)

it just wont' pass man, fail for sure

but the bottom line is, in cali, if you have these cars with crazy mods, you know a lot of people

I took the GS last night looking for a specific oil-free quick detail spray. At two different auto parts stores I had separate people stop and ask me 'what kind of car is that?', 'did it come like that?'.

I'm definitely putting the badges back on.

Also, Dex (who seldom surfs CL these days) didn't know about the SC until he had a slow day at work and stumbled onto this thread this afternoon, lol . I was going to suprise him last weekend and take him for a joy ride (hide the boost gauge with a tissue box) or sucker him into a race but he ended up not getting up here. I answered the phone and this angry voice was like "SO WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME", lol.

I'm still amazed at how quiet this thing is. If it didn't have the BOV, I'd say it was quieter overall than my SRT intake was from inside the car. You can hear a little hiss at idle and that's about it... the bigger injectors make a little more noise too. I'll take a video with some good sound when I post a more detailed SC writeup. I did take a couple with my Canon G5 during dyno tuning at SRT where you can hear the BOV.

Except for the BOV at the end, very similar to the sound of my car on dyno with only the SRT intake.

Nice vids...

Dave,

Man, that sound came out from the BOV was so sweet. Everyone on here is dying for that kind of engine "noise"
