Cal Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for that guna take a while to send your lights there and get them back in time though surely unless your not driving it for a month lol No worries, well the original DEPO units should be with him tomorrow (snow delays) and he has a 1 day turnaround, mine has a few customs bits to paint, not sure how long they'll take to come from the states but shouldn't be too long I hope Light spec sounds spot on - should look amazing! Cheers dude Car had the mini service and Mishimoto red hoses put on (Thanks Cougar Store!) also had the stainless Samco clip set used. Picture taken in pitch black with flash, filthy bay... Will clean and get some decent pics this weekend hopefully! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I love you picky your to do list is for the painter Can't wait to see it though I was worried he'd find it a bit patronising, but he thought it was great and wished more customers were so detailed/specific in their requirements Shown him the Chargespeed vents and discussed the 370Z Nismo style vent mod I want doing and he says it's fine - was worried he'd say he couldn't do it. ZWorks DEPO lights are due with him today/tomorrow, can't wait to start seeing some pics... He said he'd experiment with levels of tint for the dimpled clear plastic section for the indicator area. I'm after about 50% to take the edge off the chrome indicator bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Surely Black wrinkle paint for that plenum intake manifold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Surely Black wrinkle paint for that plenum intake manifold Hmmmm possibly... I had planned on a polished one to go with the polished strut brace... Was going to invest in a polished Takeda intake too! We'll see... That and a plenum spacer will be next on the list after lights/respray are sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Of course just my opinion but more black in there as a lot of bright red already, polished isn't my thing, too American for me 😠2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 You may be right mate... I'll have a good think about some other possible options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) A good clean and better pictures of the new hoses in... I used rubber care on the bay and my painter mate has gone f'in nuts with me as he says there will be silicone all over the car now Edited February 17, 2015 by Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have a fixed date for the respray finally! The 2nd of March. Z works light currently in construction, hopefully get them on prior to the respray, will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 they all look the same from where i'm sitting! :surrender: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I hope he's written which is which Bottom left looks good to me, Balloon White it seems. Possibly! I thought that was Bianco Fuji they all look the same from where i'm sitting! :surrender: Haha! Don't say that, hopefully there will be enough of a difference up close for me to pick a winner, they are all similar colours to be fair I just need the best one!

PPod Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bottom left is so strange it really does look like a balloon lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bottom left isn't actually balloon white! Although it is very similar. Under any light I have at home they look far too similar to pick up any real differences in what they actually look like... I'm going to have to wait till daylight to get some proper photos. First impressions; Ferrari bianco fuji - pearliest, also the warmest. Lamborghini balloon white - as pearly as above, but not as warm, almost satin like pearl. Lexus glacier frost mica - pearly but quite grey/dull in low light. Lexus starfire pearl - crisp white pearl with coarse flakes giving spectrum effect. Nissan storm white - not very pearly, warm tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I can't tell from the pictures but I'll still go with Lamborghini balloon white as I've seen it in the flesh and it looks ace ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Reckon you could pick it out from these Zeus? Spent the evening looking at them in artificial light and this morning in day light but not sun... they all look very similar, but I can tell them all apart without looking at the names I need some proper direct sunlight to make a real decision! I will say that it's between Ferrari Bianco Fuji and Lamborghini Balloon White from what I've seen so far in artificial and low lights.

terry06 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ferrari for me I agree (although the lambo is really nice in the flesh too!) Sorry not much help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 VERY hard to tell the difference in that last photo. As mentioned before, a mate had his Gallardo spyder in balloon white, looked great but also last year another chap joined us in his Bianco Fuji F12, once again, looked THE balls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm glad I'm not you right now that's a tough decision On my phone they look almost identical As good as these samples are it will always look different on a car. With the panels being much bigger and reflecting light in different ways. The differences would be much clearer on a whole car I would say number 1 from the second pic I think they would all look great when finished though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
