It's going House of Kolour's, Shimmer White Pearl. I'm considering using the frost blue clear to give it that soft blue tint but I'm not sure yet. It's definately going white though.Originally Posted by R3RUN

Well now that it is getting warm enough to start working on the car again (since I don't have a shop and have to do it all outside lol) I'm working on getting the wider GTR quarter panels installed. Which means I have to cut the old quarter panels off.
And of course with every big project, you run into minor bumps in the road. Luckily I knew these side windows would mostly likely need to be replaced since the seal is actually part of the window. So I already have the replacements ordered and they should be here early next week. Of course I wasn't intentionally trying to break the window. And we all know how these things just 'happen'

Nah, its actually going to be painted and cleared this time. I never cleared it before since I knew I'd eventully do the rear quarter panels. I'm using the House of Kolours frost blue clear. It'll give the car a very slight blue tint in the sun at the right angle. But will look white most of the time. Getting excited though, almost done with it. As soon as I get the window replaced that I broke lol

And about the window, I had to order the pair from the J-mother land, but luckily I have a friend who bought a gtr that was wrecked and has a pair of windows in his shop. And since his car is months away from needing the windows installed, he went ahead and gave me his windows and is taking mine when they get hereOriginally Posted by BTLFED

And then it wouldn't stop bleeding so I got the idea of writing Keebler in blood on the side. but I ran out of blood and only got 'Kee' written. BRB while I take a pic lolOriginally Posted by BTLFED

I don't think the car will be ready. I thought I could have it done by then. But there is no way it'll be done. I won't get a chance to put the new 1/4's on until next weekendOriginally Posted by CH@Dbee

Ok I couldn't resist lol. Keep in mind this is just the new quarter panel clamped on. It's not lined up and sitting right. But it gives you a general idea. It's about 3" wider at the wheel. Which means I have to buy some new wheels so it looks right lol
