      Re: Another car for Pooners......but the G6 STAYS!!

      The original owner lived a few miles from the coast and I dont know if it was the sand or the salt water or what, but the front fascia and part of the front of the hood had little pits in it. It wasnt noticeable unless you got real close but it bothered me.

      Soooo I pulled the facia off:



      Ended up stripping the bumper and putting several coats of primer on it. The hood was then sanded down.





      We painted the drivers side top area silver and I applied the car number vinyl over the silver paint.





      Then we shot them black....put three coats on em and I peeled the vinyl sticker off.

      All paint baby!!!









      The silver painted number looked killer!!



      At this point it was clearcoat time. We put 3 coats on them.
      I did not take any pix after the clearcoat cause I didnt want to go in the booth and risk putting any debris or dust or anything onto the paint. Just walking in the both can introduce contamenents or I can kick stuff up....he usually keeps the floor wet so that doesnt happen but I didnt wanna risk it. He is going to polish it today and it will be ready to put on the car tomorrow.



      Its going to look awesome. Probably the only Saleen with painted fascia numbers.

                  Re: Another car for Pooners......but the G6 STAYS!!

                  Hood is already on the car. Looks awesome!!
                  Still working on the fascia. Im replacing the honeycomb grills....







                  Last Black Friday I ordered a few NXT hood lifts. One set for a friend and one for Barry. I was hesitant to use it though cause
                  I wasnt sure how the Saleen hood would take it. I didnt want it to buckle or bend the hood.
                  Well it turns out the Show I went to last week had a few Saleens and several had lifts. Soooooo I pulled them out of the garage.
                  The guy I bought the spare for bought his own so the spare I had is now for the Extreme.
                  I sanded them down and primered and painted both sets:







                  Ill stick em on this week.

                    Re: Another car for Pooners......but the G6 STAYS!!

                    I swear I dont have enough time in the day....
                    OK...I finally got my SALEEN vinyl for the front lower grill project.
                    I ended up going with a 22" one to fit equidistant in the mouth.

                    Ive seen this done before but they used silver and it really sticks out.
                    I was afraid with the Extreme being all black that it would be too much of a contrast
                    to have it in silver or white....so I went for a subdued look.

                    I ended up cutting small 90 degree meshs and attaching them with 3M
                    to anchor the screen in the grill:



                    After centering it on the brackets I went to apply the vinyl and noticed that the mouth is frowning in the lower fascia.
                    Well I dont want the SALEEN looking crooked so I matched the angles.

                    I painted the grill a flat black primer then I painted it a dark gray gloss.

                    I went with white vinyl since its the color that doesnt stick as well (for easy removal).



                    I then painted it a flat black:



                    Then removed the vinyl:



                    Oh no...its gone!!!


                    or is it?




                    This will give you an idea with the black background it will have:



                    The tape helped me center back on before taping it in.



                    An finally installed and now ready to go back on the car!



                    Sorry my hand shakes a little...so my pix arnt the best. My Wife said "That looks really good" and usually that means I aced it!

                    Ill take better shots with a real camera when I have the fascia back on.
