Default My 4S Project Thread

Started with Plasti-dipping badges









Next up, Fabspeed black chrome tips



Went from this



To this





Then switched out clear ambers, drove me nuts you could still see amber



AGGGH at the amber



Much better

Then switched out the pedals to Rennline to add a little more pop to floor.

I like it!

Why swap to the fab speed tips rather than getting the existing ones ceramic coated?

I'm about to do this and waiting on a quote for ceramic which is the way I think I am going.

Thanks.

I liked the look of the Fabspeed black chrome a little more than I liked some of the matte colors I have seen on the ceramic coating. They are also a little larger and made it look more aggressive, without turning in to 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Looks good.

I hope that's your wife's beer. If not, I hope you bought the beer, threw it out, and used the cardboard box for your project.

With all that money you're saving on cheap beer, you'd think you could afford a better camera.

Looks outstanding Quadry. Planning to do mine when I get my tips back from Jet Hot. Sent them off yesterday and they wont be back for 21 days! How many coats? Was it difficult removing the access from around the letters and numbers? Love that look.
