I actually LOVE the rims I dunno why but I just like the way black rims look, they kinda look like real race car type rims, maybe it's just me. But I do think the spoiler is pretty original and cool.

I've got a couple more pics of that car....It was at hot import nights in chicago. all that shit on the rear bumper was battery terminals and a fuel cutoff switch.

for some reason i like this car though, i hate black rims, especially black 16s, the spoiler looks retarded, i dont like the blitz rear, and the center altezza piece is hideous (they arent yellowish, thats the car behind it in the reflection) but i like the car, maybe its just the paint. but whats up with painting the window moldings instead of removing them?

Maybe it looks cool because the bodykit is molded, didn't even notice at first.

Ya the molding looks cool, but one bad bump, and that rear bumper will crack...our body shop doesn't ever mold bumpers to the car because that is pretty much the dumbest thing anyone could do to a daily driven car, but its funny to see the cars next door at the other body shop that do mold their bumpers in...No matter how much bondo you use, it will still crack over time just from vibrations since the bumper is not securely attached to the car, and its also heavy...

All he did was remove the 2 pieces that go on the rear fenders. Then he got the holes welded, as well as the antenna. Maaco wants $15 per hole on my car. Plus paint, but he painted his whole car, so that wasn't any extra.

Maybe take the side pieces and mount them upside-down??? And then use body filler??? Maybe that would work?

Why would you want battery terminals OUTSIDE of your car? I personaly like them in the engine bay.
And why would you want to cut off the fuel pump? In a turboed car that would be the self distruct switch. Unless your a secret agent (ie..James Bond) You don't want a self destruct button.

I was actually thinking the same. Why would u wanna cut it off? Maybe I'm a dumbass. Maybe not completely. Why would that be needed?

Posted by koolade9, Jul-15-01 01:44 AM
well...you would want posts outside the car in two different scenerios:

its strictly a show car and you need to be able to charge it while it's being shown(jumper cables don't look the greatest in the engine bay) and a fuel pump kill just for safety(you need 1/4 tank of gas or less to get into most any show)

It's a racecar, your battery is in a sealed container vented to the atmosphere and you need quick access to the terminals to start the vehicle. and a fuel cut off switch is mandatory if your car runs 9s(NHRA rule I believe)
