Painting CDC mesh onyx chrome or powder coat?

[Alax7]

I left it at the shop before with a lady. Her manager wasn't in so she couldn't tell me pricing. I asked her to get me pricing on powder coated gloss black and onyx chrome. She called me like 2 hours after and I told her onyx, so the answer on here helped a lot.

Thanks guys.

Oh and yeah, my ls is paid off. My dad paid for half as a really late graduation gift and I paid for the other half. I got her for 12k

Sweet.

Im down to $8,500 right now. I plan on having it paid in about a year and a half.

Who pays off their LS?

Got 3 paid for. Paid off the 1st '06 in 3 years and the second in 4 months.

You have 2 06's?! You, your wife, and daughter all have an ls?! Thats awesome!

My little girl has my "old" 2000 (180K miles and still runs strong!) and my wife and I have '06s. My wife had an '01 that we traded-in on her '06. In December '05 we got $10K for the '01 V6 with ~65K miles and got the '06 for $39K out the door. X-Plan is grand! We paid ~$17K out the door for my '06 in '09 with ~32K miles.

I added my truck to the loan and right now owe a tad over 3.5k.. She'll be SC before she's paid off..

How long is it gonna take for the grille to be done?

I'm not fan about CDC mesh grill but Onyx would look great but I prefer Mclaren grill..

 

[ATrom]

I'm pretty excited to see the results

 

[Villalta]

Now ya see I think colors like Onyx or black chrome would should up more prominently on a Mclaren grille or a LSE, but i am curious about the CDC.

Now, if you can have somebody dip the grill in black chrome, that would look sick.

 

[FASTLLS]

On a black car, I agree..

 

[BlackLS06]

hmmm...

 

[FASTLLS]

They can do it too.. They paint it with this crap then the platting sticks to that.. It's a neat process

 

[RCodePaul]

Hmmmm...

I'm just the opposite, I think that CDC grill is absolutely the best. Slick, sophisticated. Really perfect. I will be interested to see the Onyx chrome, it should be nails.

Nails? T!TS works there just fine..

The grille was suppose to take like 5 business days so finished by next week, BUT, I worked my magic and they work on it right away . It was done this morning but I didn’t get it though because I was at work when they called, I almost left just to see it. I'll get it tom morning and I get my car back this Sunday too!!!!!!!

The bad part is that I wasn't able to do any of my planned mods to the car since it was gone since I got out of school. The good part is that I still have a week before I go back so I'll have to get busy!

Snaped two quick pictures. It came out real nice, very shiny. It looks sick.

 

[FASTLLS]

T!TS!!! I like it! Price?

 

[LS4me]

That's HOT!!!!!!!

 

[FASTLLS]

I'm pretty sure it has cooled down by now.. :lol:

 

[Villalta]

Yeah proved me wrong, I dont think powder coated black would shine like that. Onyx was definitely the way to go.

 

[BlackLS06]

looks sick.
