Ogata's Box

[Lummix]

My 09 gt is that way too

[Ogata]

Ok...so came out of hiding on some mini changes. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about changing to a MZ3 Exhaust but the Ms. Ogata will not let me. Perhaps a drop but I don't want to unless someone can enlighten me on why I need to drop (not from a aesthetic point of view).



More Carbon Fibre Accents



re-painted Calipers and new decals



The wheel from afar



Not noticeable but I meant to put this on my flipkey but had a few spares

[The Wolf]

I like those wheels man! As far as a drop... It'll make you feel cooler! Hahah

[Booter22]

How much stiffer does the ride get with prokits? I'm looking for a smooth ride..

[The Wolf]

Ride quality on prokits is excellent. IIRC spring rates are the same as stock. I wish it were firmer

[Ogata]

I'm thinking about re powder coating my rims to a different color. Say......blue? Not baby or navy blue. Just a neutral type of blue. Yay? Nay?

[The Wolf]

do this blue


not really a fan of just a plain royal blue personally.

I saw a pic of someones car, from i think a nextmod meet. They had black rims with an orange lip or something lol that would look sick on yours IMO.

Personally I'd lean towards nay rather than yea, but it might be interesting... Definitely think you should experiment with plast-dip before you commit though.

Have you considered removing the door mouldings?

[old-guy]

Don't really have an opinion about dropping it or blue rims. I just wanted to say your ride looks awesome. If you're looking for something to do, I prefer the look without the side mouldings.

Not feeling the black. Didn't want to achieve a dark dark look on the car. Just something Neutral and different and won't make too much attention. How about the blue seen shown on the emoticon below

Blue Plast-dip exist? Hmmm

Funny you both should ask. During that 40+ degree weather we had, my side mouldings on the driver's side was actually peeling and I just simply adhered it back. Don't know if I wanna do that since its been on there for 3 years. I'm afraid the paint might match differently. Clay or no clay.

[Fuyuzora]

Blue Plasti-dip indeed exists, although I don't know what the exact shade is like. Website makes it look like a sky or cerulean blue.

You can paint overtop it though - check out PR3Y's wheels for an example.

If it looks bad just glue them back on!

[Rob23]

I was thinking along the lines of



or



What type of Blue is this?

[Rob23]

i really like the first dark blue one, so nice! the second one is really nice too, not sure what kind of blue that would be called but its unique.

[Ogata]

Ok I'm out of hiding again. Sorry for the crappy pic from my BB.



Just found out the OEM license plate holder scratched the center part of my bumper as it was loose for a year and I did not realize it would do that damage. =( No pics! It won't do any justice as I will have to either live with it or deal with it. My door molding on the rear driver side is cracked...might consider removing in the summer.

Nice meeting you at Jimmy's place Ogata, I got my knocking-sound issue fixed by jimmy!

[nitsuji]

The first ones look like an F-Zero blue.

The Volks are Magnesium Blue. I haven't met a powdercoater that can get an exact match yet. I know someone has found an exact paint match but they refuse to share the mix/paint code.

Thanks!! I think I might go Magnesium Blue in 2 years...need to save up for priorities since I have 1 more season left with my summers.

You too!! Sorry I didn't catch your name. I was quite more than half asleep. Working nights kills you. Glad he was able to fix your knocking noise.

I'm still too scared to take mine off lol, though with all the SUVs and all around, it's not like they help anyway.
