Default My $10 Bling Mod

Car is neither ready for show or does it shine but here are some so so pics of the Firechickens new bling.

It looks better in person and my attempt to simulate night in my partially dark garage didn't work to well

Perhaps a bit over the top (aka will be called Rice ) but I like it. Definetly no other Formulas running around with these at least

My intercooler hides behind the license plate grill if anybody is wondering why I did this. The grills over the lights are just an idea a buddy and I decided to try. Kinda Z06'ish.

Love the sides/nostrils. Mesh over the intercooler/foglights is to much though.

oh, and HOLY SWIRLMARKS BATMAN!

Default Very different!!!

I have to admit it does make the car stand out. I have never seen that done to a Formula. Pretty cool.

Also, very clean job!

I thought for sure after seeing all the mesh that people would have been throwing the word "Rice" all over the place. Esspecialy since imports always have mesh all over the front. I'm seriously confused now.

I for one don't care for it, but I can appreciate the sort of time it must have taken to put all of that in! I think it's a little too much in the front. I like the sides and maybe the nostrils, but not the rest.

I'm curious how something like that would look in a black-chromish type finish. Def different and creative.

I like most of it too, I also think the fog light area is a bit much.

I the sides and notrils look bad ***, the licence plate area would look sweet painted black too, you'd still see some sliver from the intercooler showing but it would be more subtle. I commend you on the fabrication though, I know that took some time. Good job!
