Default BarronNJ "Frosty" Build Thread '14 UW IS350F

Got my beauty on July 30th and i already did just a couple things and have more in store! This thread is for my car Frosty and all mods are basically inspired by you guys.

When i first got her



Then she got her shoes painted Satin Black



Then she got to breathe better inspired by RastaRacer - Gave her a GReddy Intake - Took 1HR to Install - Thanks to thejaperu for the DIY instructions, it was a piece of cake





Next week I will also be throwing on a High Gloss Black Vinyl onto the roof also inspired by thejaperu

and more to come

Some new little accents done on Frosty

My pup helped watch my car while i was working on it




SMoked out the Rear signals so it gets rid of the pure white reflector


Blacked out the Rear bottom reflectors completely - Matte Black to match rear bumper




Pretty satisfied with the results with such little change.

Thanks GUys! Plasti-Dipped them myself and the colors actually mixed well only thing that bothers me is the touch feel of them.

Went with Plasti-Dip incase i didn't like the look but now that i do i might have it painted gloss black for the chrome pieces and the rear piece between the taillights where the camera is.
