lookin forward to it, Adam.. Let me know when youre all gettin together again.. im always down for a photoshoot or a bbq

Next time we're getting out when its bright out so we can get good rolling shots!

Whos normally doing the shooting? Not sure how my camera performs on moving objects.. The only moving shots ive taken are of my puppies.. and its hard just to get clear shots while theyre running! they seem to come out blurry.. ill have to mess with some settings to fix that..

Welcome Chris! Your car looks great. You should deff. come out to our next event.

You need a good camera that is capable of changing the shutter speed to do rolling shots

I havent seen any with the hands.. Ill take one of those and can always cutter down to size (if too large)

How do i get it?

Dani (undertaker4) is the OOC Pedo master. If you need Pedo just ask him, I'm sure he will find a way to get you whatever you need haha

Hi man, car looks good! You ever think about smoking or blacking out that grill?

Thanks man! That was my original plan when buying the car.. i wanted the monochrome grille but in a Sport model (3.5L engine) This was not an option and would have costed over $400 for an unpainted replacement grille. Not to mention the costs of paint, prep services since im not the best at paint

So i planned on tinting all the chrome on the car, side lamps, tails, window sills. To be done by a shop (MRT) it would have costed nearly $500+ (i had spring install and caliper paint on the invoice so im guessing $500 lowball) but i ended up doing the springs, corner lenses, and calipers myself.. I talked myself out of the tint and bought wheels instead. I didnt feel like i was getting much for my money just to tint the chrome. not to mention other 2010 owners who went this route mentioned flaking and such. I do 75% freeway driving and my grille would look like swiss cheese in a couple weeks.

Plus, now i have the black wheels with a polished lip.. So if i did go that route the wheel lip would stand out like a MOFO. The chrome has actually grown on me with everything else blacked out (wheels, corner lenses, AMBER gone) So the grille hasnt bothered me much since.. I just bought some KW V1 coilovers so ill be ditching the Eibachs soon! And im spent on mods until christmas passes and spring comes!!! I have a few things that i want to do still

Yeah I can see how you def have the chrome theme going all over. It's too bad there isn't a better option for tinting chrome. I tried the metalcast stuff on my badges and just like you mentioned, it started chipping off immediately. It looked sick before that though!

I had purchase Dupont Black/Chrome for my emblems.. I just never took the jump and did it. I was worried it would come out like crap.


UPDATE: I bought a handful of PedoBears from HOG. Cant wait for these to come in.

Sweet. I've got a good spot for him to hide.

whooa theres no need to put the Pedo in a hiding spot, he will find one for you, as soon as you grasp him, you will know where he wants to sit
