Looks Great however you stole my name
LOL!





I got the Q for about 2 1/2 months now and here are a few mods that i did to it during this summer and more to come. Huge Lakers and Kobe fan, so i named him "The Black Mamba". Enjoy

First off is the old G







The Black Mamba - Thule Snowboard Roof Rack, Full Chrome Wrap with Gloss Black Vinyl and Plastidip Wheels















Carbon Fiber Wrapped Interior









Hardwired Escort Passport 8500 X50




Looking sick man! Not sure how I feel about the wheels as Plastidip has been letting me down lately. But im actually really digging the carbon wrap inside and might try that! Did you pop the pieces off to do it? And if so was it hard to remove?

The plastidip on the wheels is just temporary until i buy after market wheels, which will be in a year or two. I was going to dip it in Anthracite Gray, but that takes off on the whole Black Mamba theme that i am going for. As for the chrome trim around the car, i practically hate it. Lol. But thanks for the input.
I think anthracite gray wouldve looked pretty cool
 
Did you do the chrome wrap yourself? If so, any tips for the grill? I've done wraps myself on previous cars, but by the looks of it, to get that smooth finish all around without creases, you would think a big sheet of vinyl would be needed.
I did it with a sheet of vinyl big enough to cover the whole grill. Take your time and heat/stretch the middle instead of stretching the part thats actually covering the chrome.
 
What'd you spray it with? VHT? Also did you bleed the brakes after
 
**** man, cant wait to see them mounted
