After ranting about how there is no drop kit out there and I wouldn't fix my car up until there was one available, I said F IT!! there still is a few details i'm going to take care of over the weekend but here it is! let me know what y'all think!
Again I apologize for the gaps between the wheel and fenders..... its killing me!!!!!!!!!!
I think it totally takes away the look of the ATS. Black tint, wheels, grill, rear end , etc. make the car almost unidentifiable from a distance IMHO....just not my cup of tea. However, that's just me and I applaud the work you put into it.
I'm actually getting the front bumper wrapped on Saturday. I'm going to wrap it to make it seem like the top grill is connected with the bottom. Ill post pics on Sunday.
Looks good bro. Nice to see a fellow ATS owner modding their car. I too have done a fair amount of work but am "laying low" until I can lower my car. Its hard waiting and you may have inspired me to post pics...
Im sure you know this but don't sweat the haters. They don't get the culture. Love the look, nice job!
Thanks man! I knew you would get it. I wanted to lay low too cuz just like you, I feel the drop is an important piece to have. Once I started though I just had do do the rest. True it is a different culture that some people dont get it but for us it's a way of life, At least in this style of modding VS tuning
I was showing my buddy these pics, he's ordering a white ATS and he said he wants to do his up just like this lol, the car seriously does look wicked man.
personaly i think blacking out the tail lights was cool back when fast and furious was still new. its old now and camrys and civis are the only ones still trying to pull them off. but, that aside, black accents on a white car is my fave combo. thats what i did for all my cars (except tail lights on some). very simple and tasteful combo. looks very sharp, with just enough mods on it to make it look unique, but not enough to make it look overdone. id suggest u use plasti dip. its perfect for experimenting.
I don't remember fast and furious cars ever having tint on the lights.... But I know what you mean, I lived in the hood and seen a lot of wanna be hookup camrys and civics with shitty work on them. I actually wasn't going to tint the rears cuz I noticed that Cadillacs lights already have a nice dark cherry look to it but my paint guy who did my other work gave me a price I couldn't refuse. In person though it looks way classier then in the pictures. The guy did a nice light color on them. I guess it looks dark cuz I took the pics in a garage.
Offset determines how far in or out the wheels actually stick out. I'd venture a guess that those front 20X8.5's are something like +35 offset and the rears are like +38 or so.
That setup looks AWESOME, especially considering its not lowered?? I was already planning on going with staggered 20's as well...now I'm even more sold on the idea!
same here. lost forever to the depths of the internets?
