  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

any VIP Genesis's here?

Thanks, I appreciate it. A lot of time and effort went into having a theme carried throughout the whole car while making it stand out but also be subtle at the same time. The brushed steel wraps are a thing of beauty. Wouldn't want to do my whole daily in the wrap since it is sensitive to contact pressure against the grain.

I looked the neck pads. VIPdOut did a great job.. I never gout around to getting those for my car. Wish I did cause they look so good.

So it would be a bad idea to daily my car with a stainless wrap..how does it stand up to the elements? My upgrades like yours are very subtle too... the equus knob looks factory and everything is very well executed except my ride height..lol slowly but surely I'm getting there is got to clean her up and take new pics..do you have a factory exhaust?

I would ask a professional wrap installer on longevity for a whole car in the brushed. Based on the installation of the roof I wouldn't want a whole car done that way unless it was for show only.

Have factory intake and exhaust for now.
 
Yea I meant the roof only on stainless I think it would look good on a black car too... yea I haven't gotten around to Cai and exhaust yet not much support for it and I'm not sure about the sound...never heard one done in person.. I'm thinking about the gen coupe brembo calipers with the drilled and slotted rotors..I need front brakes anyways...where in the US are ya?

Misunderstood your question about the stainless wrap, thought you were talking about the entire car. Roof is holding up fine, looks the same now as the first day it was installed. Keep in mind I don't set anything on top of it but never did before I had it either. Located in Raleigh NC. Two of my friends have done the Coupe Brembo Swap and they love it.
 
Here's the screen shot of the tablet hard mount and the equus shift knob..

Thanks it was amazingly easy...actually use the case for the tablet in the stand position the rest is making holes in the leather to attach aluminum screw on Jean buttons to hold the 15lb velcro to the leather tablet case..then it's a matter of cleaning the dash with alcohol and attaching velcro and joining them..I used plastic heavy duty interlocking velcro and I never remove the case..just take the tablet out alone..and I have it running my music and Google maps as the tablet has 4G LTE. ..so it's convenient.. lexicon 17 speaker system with a 12 inch competition woofer with 1600W rms.. 3000W peak ...

Been around here a long time and I'm highly skeptical. The lack of punctuation and single post isn't helping your claim either. Pics or it doesn't exist.

^ This. You're not pushing 430 anything unless turbo/supercharged, on the 3.8. The 5.0 does not push 430whp, even with tune. As Matt said, pics or it's bullshit.

Umm...
1st of all xiaphin and Tailwalker are the only 2 I see on here tuning and slamming their 1st gens like that. 2nd what TUNE are you running? Who tuned it and where did you get the ECU? No way I would try anything with my stock ECU and not have a backup. NO WAY 430 from no Genesis 3.8 unless you got an Infinity VDQ 3.8 engine with 2 turbos in the Genny (LOL). Come on I smell the same thing everyone else smells.
3rd pictures (REAL ONES and not copied from another website) speak a million words.
 
Just as I had expected, one post and done.
 
WOW...great pics.
Love to see more VIP pics...
Hey man. Would love to ask you a few questions about your genesis. Thinking about getting a 13 R spec. Do you find it reliable? Any issues that may cause me to reconsider? Obvs I am not buying a 5.0 for fuel economy, but how bad or decent is it? Thank you
