Sweet dude, your sporting the same front end and side skirts I will be *hopefully* . I gotta question too, how did they end up attaching your side skirts? Did they mold them on and stuff or did they just screw and glue?

Posted by spaniard372, Apr-23-02 01:49 PM
looks to me like they "screwed and glued"...you can see the seam where it meets the car so it's not molded.

looks real good. is there a flake in the paint, looks like there is in the picture of the headlight. now you gotta change your user name :P

Alright

Here's the deally....

Yes there is a blue ice pearl in the paint, as pointed out by spaniard (good eye), the sides and the rear spats are somewhat molded in, you can see the seams but he blended it onto the body, meaning those things are not coming off anytime soon.

The sideskirts are partially molded on, he made the vent for me and molded that part of the skirt (inner part) onto the body and asked me if I wanted to mold the top seam in, I said "No" why you ask? I've seen too many people with molded skirts that have dont' neccessary have the cracks in the skirts but you can see where the cracks are coming through, Add to the fact that if the skirts get snagged on anything that kiss that good bye

BTW, the only screws holding the skirts are the ones on the side, everything else is held on by a "special agent" that bonds fiberglass to metal (or so he says) he claims it's the same stuff on the Quwees body kit, I don't know, it's some bluish paste that dries clear and I waited 2 weeks for that crap to come in...

The only thing that I wanted them to do that they did not was to mold in my supra turn signals on the blitz front....They said that they couldn't fit it in there correctly, O well, I might get some smaller turn signals and cram them in there

Oh yeah, the put a grill on my front which hides my intercooler because they thought "it would protect it from the rocks and things flying at it" Oh well, anybody got any questions?

BTW, I got the blitz front because it was the only front in stock at the local rice shop, I did not want a rear because I had a bad experience with them b4 soooo.......that's for those of you that was wondering....

and Mikey....yeah, I got the stock 3 piece holes welded in.. you happy now? All for under 1400..........waaaay under that.....lol

Woahh how come so cheap? Is it because insurance paid for some of it, or was the real total that cheap? I feel ripped off now, I paid 1100 for my paint.

Posted by guest, Apr-24-02 06:10 AM
Man it looks great only one thing I dun like about it..... I can't stand chrome housing projectors..... I dunno why to me they just look ugly, I think u shoulda color matched the headlights, a cf hood might not be bad...... but the orange looks good to. but aside from the projectors, the car looks great, I wish I could find a deal like that!!!
20610, RE: FINALLY, My car has come back............................

Yo honcal98rs, I go to Brevard Community College (melb), too. Don't look for my car though, it's wrecked at the moment.

Mickey, like the color ... makes me want to lick it.

Looks incredible, I cant believe you got it all for a price like that... What you did with the skirts is nice, these skirts just beg for modification dont they? :-) Put some nice signals in the bumper, and lose the mesh, show off that FMIC! Overall, looks killer.

20617, RE: FINALLY, My car has come back............................

Looks good.... Now come over to the DSM meets at the Andretti parking lot so I can take a look in person.

That goes for you other BCC Melbourne DSM guys as well. There are DSM meets every (well... usually every) Wed. night at the Andretti parking lot in Melb. Get there betweem 8:30 and 9:00. So far I am the only 420a person that shows up.
