Picking a Theme..

[keat]

So I really wanna have a theme to my car and not just do random shit to it...since my car is white I was thinkin about goin for a Stormtrooper theme. And Im talkin clean stuff here no body kits or graphix or nothin rice. Anyways...I dont really know where to start though..I was lookin up Stormtrooper helmets and they're all white, with black eyes and a black mouth piece...so idk...suggestions would be sick. Thats what Im lookin for. Any ideas from you guys.

A storm trooper theme? Lol your on your own man I have no idea

 

[SpiralOut]

I don't understand, Stormtrooper? Do you mean dress up in a stormtrooper costume and drive around?
Or maybe stormtrooper seat covers? Star wars figurines on the dash?

 

[bane3d]

Good luck. There is a member on here with the name and theme. Here is his page and I've always loved his car. DSMtuners - - Strm Trpr's Images

Im just talkin bout a color theme...exterior wise kind of stuff. Idk maybe not stormtrooper...but some white/black theme. Besides the obvious panda..even though I do like that too.

Damn..yeah his car is sick as hell.

 

[VPrime]

I alwaya thought white and black was called panda?

White and blue?
White and red?
White and white?
White and green?

White and black is probably the easiest to pull off..

 

[LandoAWD]

Reverse panda. Done.

Why not black rims with white lip or polished lip and nightshaded taillights and reverse lights. Theme completed! ^^

BTW I know black rims with a white lip is out of the norm, but there is an RX-7 that drives around here that is white with black rims that have a white lip and it looks ommfg amazing. It wouldnt cost much to get a set of black rims powdercoated to have a white lip. Just my .02.

 

[MIenKEi446]

Just mess around with photoshop, im sure you can come up with some cool ideas on there

 

[ryan90]

the possibilities are limited by your imagination

don't let somebody flame you for your tastes either.

Do what you want.

Sounds like good ideas to me. Thanks guys.

I wanna do like white and carbon sort of. I love white with cf. But i dont wanna throw like 2 grand at cf shit really..i was cruisin ebay and found a sick cf logo and tail ligh center though that would be sweet...Whats your guys opinions on carbon? Do i gotta do the typical cf hood to make it look good or??? Idk....

 

[DSM_Zak]

White wheels with black lip would look savage, or even reversed!

 

[keat]

Yeah Im really likin the sound of black with white lip. I just need to find a nice set of black wheels then.

 

[ryan90]

hm....

lower the car, a black or cf front mitsu emblem, nightshade the tails a lil, some window tint, and black wheels

maybe some smoked clear corners?

adding the black would give some nice contrast. not sure on painting the lip white... having a machined lip would work and flow nicely from black to white though.

just my taste and my .02

Go with a black roof and supports and mirrors. Lower the car on some metallic black rims with matching rim lip. Open the headlights and paint the housing black or get some halos or projectos with black housings. Remove the orange corners and go clear. Get a black lip for your bumper to get some contrast flowing. Get a nice FMIC on there just so you look badass rolling down the street. A carbon fiber hood will flow well with or without the black roof. Get a high rise 97-99 spoiler if you don't have one already. These are my plans for my car if I ever get around to getting another. Hope this helps as it seems to be common but is still a very clean look.

Alright well I threw somethin together just to see. First hour in photoshop .

I was gonna try to lower it or somethin...but im not that far yet ha.

 

[ryan90]

intercooler???

why? it's an NT.....

photoshop looks good. question is, do YOU like it?

i think lowering it would get the best bang for your buck right now. and not only will it enhance looks but it will handle better. eibach sportlines aren't too bad and ride pretty smooth (the 1" drop one)

I dont neccessarily like telling people what to do with their car, but I like how you value my opinion. Like I said, I know black with white lip is a little different.. but you definitely wont be unsatisfied.. It will be a headturner and the white lip really does stick out well. Here is a guy in the classifieds with a similar theme.. It wouldnt be hard for you to visualize white lip instead of chrome.

What about lowering the car, painting the top to the rear hatch Talon style with a CF hood to keep the theme up front? Also if you are going with that theme, get some black mirrors and maybe even paint the front middle bottom part (Where the front plate and intercooler would go) black kinda like how the Evo X has it.

For the rims, you could get the faces of the spokes powercoated black but leave the rest of the rim polished. So that the light bounces off the black from the side, but at angles the rims polish would glint off of the sun

If you are looking at doing a stormtrooper theme, have you looked at the Dodge Avenger Stormtrooper yet? Cause that would be a good start

IF my car was all white like yours I would probably do the following:

1. Lower the car 1", any more and you'll need to get camber adjusters.
2. Tint the windows.
3. Find an "Old School" style Storm Trooper Helmet Logo and get a stencil about 10" round made.
4. Paint the car semi off white with ALOT of clearcoat for some serious gloss, then paint the Helmet Logo in FLAT black right between the door crease and the rear tires.
5. Clear corners, blackout the tails, black housing projectors, and the black rims with the white lip theme.

If it came out like I can picture it in my head that would look mean and yet beautiful at the same time.

What exactly is the "Panda" theme anyways? If heard it but haven't actually seen any descriptive pics of it....

Thanks, Mike

Yeah....this is perfect. Thats almost exactly what I want my car to look like. Same kinda rims I want too...white lip would look SO good. Holy shit.

Yeah Im definately lowering it. Originally I wanted to slam the hell out of it, but I dont wanna scrape, or spend more money on camber kits. Any suggestions as to what I should get which will provide a 1" drop and adjustablility..while not breakin my bank?

And yeah I would like to paint the front bumper evo x style..but I dont feel like painting anymore..idk.

 

[gofer]

this isn't my car but he lives about an hour north of me... it looks way clean. i guess you could say its "panda" themed but check it out, maybe you can pull a few ideas? DSMtuners - - Project2G's Images

good luck with your car man.

 

[keat]

Thats a pretty sick car too. Im startin to get some good ideas I guess. Still dont know about lowering though. Not sure what to do..
