congrats knucklehead! love to see it in person.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 03:49 PM

OK, OK already. A huge thanks to everyone at SCC. And a special thanks to Steve and Alan, the project could never have happened without them.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 03:51 PM

checkout the Exige detail on the Elise rear clam. Brilliant work by Sako at SCC.
All mesh is Exige OEM mesh not Exige like.

kaz · 08-10-2007, 03:54 PM

k that is some hot sh*t - can't wait to see it in person!

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 03:58 PM

I had a feeling the color really wouldn't show well in pictures. In real life the paint job and color are fantastic. You really can't tell, but the color is much darker than Graphite Gray and is a deep charcoal. Gary the painter at SCC is an amazing artist.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 04:00 PM

All these pics are with my cheap digital in blaring bright sunlight. I'm hoping to put together a photo shoot with Serebo1 and Kaz.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 04:06 PM

For those that aren't familiar with my car. It was an early vin 05 in BPR. My brother (Old Duck) has an Elise in the same color.

The car has a 2bular 6 inch exhaust. Penske shocks, Hypercoil springs, HIDs, Rota wheels, BWR front sway bar, Light weight PC680 battery w/BWR brace, BWR Black badges and wheel centers, LSD, Lotus sport clutch and light weight fly wheel. Sector front splitter. Stebel horn. Multivex Mirrors.

BTW the horn is new and IMO should be on every car along with the Mirrors.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 04:18 PM

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to show everyone. I really think it turned out beautifully. I probably wouldn't have tried something like this if it weren't for people like Kaz, Serebo and TurboPhil. All those cars look amazing. Now I won't be as jealous.

knucklehead · 08-10-2007, 04:21 PM

Now to save up some $$$ for CF side sills and CF rear diffuser.

KingOfJericho · 08-10-2007, 04:31 PM

I actually think this car looks more military than Kaz's car. It really looks amazing and REALLY badass.

LarryB · 08-10-2007, 04:33 PM

Looks great, with lots of little details to make it stand out. Are you going to make it to NorCA for the Sept. Autox ( I'll work on getting sign up open this weekend). It will make it easier to tell you and your brother cars apart. You need to get a few of our new soft cones hits.

Hey Larry,
The autocross is definitely on my schedule. I have to figure out how to protect the CF splitter.

Thanks! But you should see Kaz's car in person. That car is the real deal and now with the wing it really is amazing. I think both cars colors are difficult to photograph.

xziteme · 08-10-2007, 05:30 PM

The last pair of pics hints of a "pearlizing" effect. I bet it looks fantastic in person.

Mind those rocks!

I can't wait to see what you have planned for side skirts.

spider · 08-10-2007, 06:35 PM

Congrats, Jacob! Can't wait to see it!

Green Hornet · 08-10-2007, 08:01 PM

Beautiful Job !!!

Congratulations

shay2nak · 08-10-2007, 10:00 PM

Jacob,
wow, that looks da sh*t. Glad to see they were able to use the actual Exige mesh grill for the rear clam/sides. I want to replace the rear grill (license plate section) on my Exige with the mesh grill.

What car is that color from or is it custom?

What size Azenis are you running?
Ara

aztec1382 · 08-10-2007, 10:39 PM

James007 · 08-10-2007, 10:54 PM

Thanks Ara,
The color is off the Lexus line and is Smokey (something) Mica. We were going to go completely custom, but decided if something happens in the future it would be much easier to match.

My Azenis are on 16 and 17 inch wheels and are 215 and 245. Next step is lower the car about an inch or two.

Thanks Sam,
Long time no hear. Glad to hear you got the turbo straightened out. My price was a package deal. So give SCC a call for a price 310 838-5551. They've done a few cars now with the Exige mesh so they have it down well. Let me know if you want to check it out.
