Re: The Black Beast

Looks great! Did you tint them the same way Mark did some of ours, or did you do something different?

Re: The Black Beast

I did them the same way Mark did. I must have mixed the paint a little differently than he did though... That's only two coats.

Re: The Black Beast

^^ Why were you trying to open the lenses? Anyways, I got it all sanded and buffed out today, so here's a couple more quick pics I took after work. The rest of the car still badly needs to be buffed.

Re: The Black Beast

I thought about the 3rd brake light, but it's nice to have at least one bright brake light. I'll most likely be doing the marker lights in the rear bumper too.

Re: The Black Beast

Just a little update post. In the last couple weeks I've added a couple things.

Ebay black housing headlights





EBC Green pads and slotted rotors up front


And lastly, a JMF coil pack relocation bracket and a black Hyundai valve cover. It needs to be re-powdercoated though

Looks good, but take pictures of the car with the wheels straight next time.

Re: The Black Beast

Car looks really good man, not so much a fan of the wheels, but overall nicely done. You should put your timing cover back on too
