Must have been another black wagon. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzehner2 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm back home now with my car. Did some detailing this week and installed the JDM garnish. Got a surprise coming shortly thanks to madrig and his composite work. Do you do your own detailing? If so, what do you use to get spider marks and scratches out of the black paint?

magnusonsubie Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yes I do my own detailing. Depending on the severity of the scratches or swirls I use meguiars ultimate compound if they are bad and I use meguiars swirlX for stuff that isn't as bad and then I finish it off with Klasse All-in-one and Klasse High Gloss Sealant 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The carbon fiber trim will look really nice on that garnish! Did you get one with blue tint, to match your theme? It almost makes me want to install mine and get the carbon fiber trim, or at last buy the trim to add to the hoard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost makes me want to install mine and get the carbon fiber trim, or at last buy the trim to add to the hoard. You could also just wrap it with carbon fiber vinyl. That's what I did with the chrome part on the stock trunk and it looks perfect for very few dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After madrig sent me pictures of them in the sun I decided as cool as the blue one is it was just too bright and flashy for my car. I think the blue badge overlay will be enough to continue my black with blue theme. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 No pictures yet as it's not on the car but the garnish trim from madrig came today. Tracking was showing a Monday arrival so when it was here today I was excited. Took it out and the craftsmanship is incredible. The weave is incredibly even throughout and the edges where the badge are the weave blends perfectly. Absolutely brilliant work. Can't wait to see what other composite work he's doing. I'm excited for this garnish! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyGT Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 So much want. Now to erase that silly blue '2.5' Leave it chrome, IMO, sticks out too much in that blue If I were to try and point out any other eye sores... I'd be looking for a hella long time dude, sweet wagon!

magnusonsubie Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 The blue on the GT is going to get changed. The color it is stands out to much now. I'm going to match it to the badge in the garnish best I can 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebourne Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I fooled around with a couple different looks. The image was begging for a wide screen look, so I did a 16x9. Then I thought let's crop out the sidewalk completely with 16x10, cause that gravel looks great and is interrupted by that sidewalk/driveway. Then I thought, let's make this game harder... Can I make square work? aka 1x1? Try! Little bit of PS Content Aware fill and I think I did. Color balance, I went crazy with the color palette, but I was also working on my laptop which isn't my best monitor. Didn't have the RAW file, so was quite limited. Feel free to hate/critque. No offense to the original photographer/editor, as we all see these differently and we all love a photoshop challenge. I roll a black on black car too, so I too struggle with dark shadows, over HDR-ness, and such. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah the original photographer says that my car is quite difficult to bring out in pictures haha. But those different takes on editing are kinda cool to see what can be done. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
