Looking good thus far. Keep it going.

 

nice Jen.

Go back to page 1 again

 

nice... liking the mods thus far, can't wait to see your choice of wheels. food for thought... carbon fiber diffuser? the diffuser around your pipes look out of place compared to the mods you've done, they look plain so to speak. dress up her butt, or shall i say his butt, being that it is the Batmobile. just a thought...

 

Thank you

I LOVE that thought actually, and I wanted to wrap that diffuser piece in carbon fiber, just like the front bumper pieces, but since it's a textured plastic, vinyl won't stick to it. So, I will have to paint it first.
OR, I can wait for a real CF Diffuser to become available.

Either way, I love the idea and definitely want to do it

(And I still call her a she even though the name is Batmobile lol )

 

The only update this week, unfortunately, is that my wheels are delayed Apparently they did not pass the final quality inspection due to blemishes and were sent back to the powdercoater for a re-work. New ETA is sometime next week, possibly.

I guess that's better than just passing them along to the consumer with blemishes, but still....ugh! haha I feel like it's been so long since I ordered them already!!

Anyway, to make myself feel better, I took some pictures with the Robin-mobile, or Snappy as I call it. The little habanero Prius c


Looks like the Prius c has a Batman mouth hehe


Naturally, Batmobile gets the garage parking.







*hopefully the wheels will be in next week. Otherwise I'm just going to have to find another mod to do in the meantime hehehe

 

feeling the DRL tint.

 

Hey, Where did you get your Carbon Fiber vinyl lower left/right bumper done at in LA?

 

This took me forever, my apologies!! At night though, the DRL looks mostly white, with a tint of yellow honestly-- it's hard to capture with the camera, but here's what I've got:



I've attached another image showing the night shot, but it's not that great, sorry! >_<

I had it done at Impressive Wrap sir

 

I am sad to post this update, or lack thereof really.

WHEELS:
The wheels are delayed- I will actually get into that later but it makes me


CHROME AROUND WINDOWS:
I tried to have this wrapped in black vinyl; unfortunately, the shop said it was not possible. It is due to the upper section of that chrome, above the window/ You cannot pull the rubber away from it to tuck the vinyl in and unless it's cut 100% perfect, some of that chrome may show through. If it couldn't be done perfectly, they didn't want to attempt it at all.


ANYTHING ELSE?:
Um, this:


One of the keys wrapped in metallic vinyl.

Anyway, I am deeply disappointed that my mods just haven't been going as planned. Perhaps it's the wheel company I chose

 

Cool looking key fob.

 

I like that metallic look on the fob. How durable is it?

 

haha go back to volks....

 

Thank you!

Seems pretty durable so far! No peeling, no bubbles, etc.. The nice thing about it is that it's very subtle--

I would if I didn't already put down the deposit on the wheels I ordered haha. Lesson learned. Hopefully the wheels are alright though when they do arrive. *crossing my fingers*

 

Im hoping for the best cant wait to see, i dont wanna get any wheels until i get suspension......

 

The chrome can be done. I had a guy in fullerton specifically cut and wrap the metal window trim on my 3 series. It can be done. Just gotta find somebody who feels confident with the angles and pre-cutting. Good luck with wheels
