Customizing and Personalization

[92gvr488]

Hi guys, I want to start this thread to get input and to kinda see what everybody else is doing as far as customizing and personalizing their dsm's...


I am personally going with Metal Mulisha scheme with flat black with lime green accents... Here's some pics of what Ive done already... I just started and there is a long road ahead but I'm determined and I'm not to bad with a gun...


All before pictures of the car can be viewed HERE ... For some reason I can't post pics from previous threads...


And heres the after...


More to come soon but let me know what you think so far... And I would love to see what everyone else doing to spice up their dsm's.

Thanks,
Jordan

+1 for a personal touch. I'm nowhere near that point yet...

Throw a rockstar badge or 2 in there aswell. Ive got many clothes of M/M and rockstar its nice to see it on a car. Ive just got rockstar on mine but no way near as out there as yours. Looks good and cant wait to see the car with all this on it.

If it were mine, I'd paint the end tanks too.

 

[dsmrebel084]

Dude not bad it looks very good

 

[92gvr488]

Im planning on painting the end tanks but I have V-band joints that I still have to weld on... Im converting everything to V-band.

Looks really good. I rock M/M cloths all the time.

I'm pretty much sticking with the DSM theme. As in, leaving the "branding" alone. But that's just me.

What you did so far looks good though. Kinda' interesting.

 

[ka24debt]

nice!! i like it a lot!! what's it mean to you?

 

[mrjreezy]

That's sick! I didn't even think about doing something like that. You have given me ideas.

 

[Ineedboostman]

The front mount looks awesome.

What is M/M?
And isn't painting the intercooler going to effect its efficiency?

 

[Frskrgps]

M/M=Metal Mulisha

 

[4Lurker4]

Looks good, although the intercooler will be down a tad on efficiency depending on the paint that was used. I like a personal touch, makes it more yours.

[talonalex92]

Thanks. I had an engine rebuild done so after I complete a good break-in I'll be able to see what it looks like when it's all together. Pics will be posted here and in the engine bay thread.

Im de-badging mine and doing my custom LED setups to my headlights, taillights, and interior lighting, similar to what I've done on my past DSMs. Also a graphite silver and matte black paint job. Want to keep it simple and clean.

 

[alex209]

The m/m looks good

 

[Ozone302]

I'm not into going that in depth with customization on my cars. I like the stock sleeper look. But I gotta give it up to you man, that looks AWESOME! Love the front mount! Good job.

And that turbo looks great too!

That looks awesome, I love the manifold and the presicion. It looks like you have alot more
patience than I do...

NIce work man what else you gonna hit with that theme on the car?

I'm going with a flat black base with green highlights everywhere but as far as the M/M I'm going to put a couple of 9" badges on the fenders and I think thats it for now... Or at least until I see something else I think will look cool...
