cool, congrats and good choice on the kit. what are you going to do about the graphics? or are they painted? just wondering if they were staying or going.
67150, RE: Ordered my kit today ;-)
Posted by GSwede96, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
graphics are vinyl and they go...New paintjob with a new paint that just came out here:-) New wing, new rims, a light bar is added too. Interior is being ripped and a new stereosetup is being built+ race seats are going in(they are in my garage now) SO it should be fun:-) Alot of work left but those who saw my GS know that it will be done *smile*

Thought I would throw up soe pics of how the kit turns out on the car.Stiol not painted but its going to the painter after this weekend :-)Had to make some custom stuff though..My FMIC is huge and doesnt fit well with a kit thats made for stock IC....Same with exhaust..I have dual 4" pipes...kit was made for one...Well here it goes...It is straight eventhough it looks a little off..one pipe is sticking out and fools the eye a little...



Sideskirts glued/screwed and started to mold them in...

nice, but I think it would look nicer if the nose area in this pic were molded shut.

71809, RE: Ordered my kit today ;-)
Posted by BuckNutty, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
i think it looks damn pimp...good job on the customizing of it too. At least you picked one of the few wings that somewhat flows with our cars...Paint her up :thumbsup

Are you sticking with teh same graphics?? Getting different ones?? Getting it painted a new color???

71812, RE: Ordered my kit today ;-)
Posted by GSwede96, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
wing is the kaminari KTR wing..looks alot bigger in the pic due to angle I think.

Not keeping graphics or color.New paintjob over the entire car and this year it will be clean..no graphics or such.

Moldecx shut in nose area? Mean between the lights?It came molded from the factory and I thought it was missing something so I opened that hole up myself. it gives me alot more air to the radiator/turbo/manifold so it cant hurt.The FMIC is blocking alot of the air to the radiator so I need it:-)Its molded inside so its just not a hole..its alittle "tunnel" in there too..

71824, RE: Ordered my kit today ;-)
Posted by TanDaMan99, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Damn man, That is hot as hell. If the wing is as not big as you say it is I think it might become the hottest clipse i ever seen. Guess just gotta wait till its done. Also thought that tunnel was a huge mistake but when it's all cleaned up it just adds to the hottness. Well done. What color is it gonna be?

Damn that hot!:thumbsup

Posted by FlyinEsi, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
When you say the rims are flush, do you mean if you hit a bump they are going to hit the fenders, or they are just inside the fenders??

I'm looking at some 18x8.5 rims, please give me all the details you can on the rims...offset, tire size you are using, how far you are lowered...do you think you will rub when you turn the wheels??

Thanks man, I appreciate your help.

The rims I'm looking at are a 18x8.5 w/ 235/40/18 rubber, +35 offset, I plan on bieng lowered 2", will those rub? Thanks

Well they go flush with outside of the fenders wich means if they would go all the way down in a bump they would hit..but they wouldnt do that.I have a very very hard suspension setup*S* If you go with you sizes and on 2" drop..I would say that they will rub..Prolly will need to roll fenders some....But ot sure. Also depends on offset etc..

Mine are 38mm ET and are 8,5x18 in size with 225/40 tires.Kept smaller tires just so I wouldnt hit the fender. I can turn full and put the car daown max and it wont hit front fender..In rear ...they wont rub eiether*lol*

Posted by BumpinTalon, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
The back bumper is too tall ... comes too far down to the ground. I would take about 4" out of it personally but it's not my call now is it? The front and sides are tight and the colour is amazing. I love the spoiler but most of all I want to see this car when it is finished.

All I can say is WOW. I am not normally into the show scene but good lordy, that a lot of great look work put in that actually looks good. I thought the rear might be too long, but it completely matches the front; it evens it out. Dude, the eye lids are awesome as well; you should probably patent it or something cause someone is gonna steal that idea.

Oh I would like to lower it more but we have those fuggin speed bumps on the way to my garage..(rental place) and I cannot get over them if I lower any more. I have coilovers though so I lower it sometimes on shows and stuff like that ;-)Thinking of putting 19s on though to fill up a little more but it will have to wait..cant afford right now:-(

The wing part..I tried with my stock as well...looked like shit actually..IMO....so I puton the big wing..made the whole flow of the car much better.But thats just me..and its my car so it stayts*LOL*

Hey Roger....long time no see. As you can see, I'm joining this thread late. The car looks awesome man. I love the work you did and the color. It's a shame you have to sell it, but a house is great too man. I just built a house last year and it was great. I still have my car too though....can't seem to sell her and go back to having car payments. Take care and let us know how everything goes. Later...
