89748, Finally Got My Car Painted/Fixed
Posted by HipHop615, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Finally got a new front bumper and got it painted and got all my sides fixed. If this one dies im going to get the Stillen Bumper, I still would have never gotten a body kit but o well u live and learn, I never recommend fiberglass...I need to raise my car a lil though, Im hitting everything, Im having trouble rasing on my Tein Type Flexs though, I think its just cuz they havent moved in so long, I was kinda getting used to rolling with no front bumper and just a FMIC in the front lol...I just need to get rid of that banner as well, Ive been using it as my sun visors since i lost the clips for my orginal visors.

I am usually not a fan of kitted cars but that is really clean. You changed the lines on the car to less curve and more boxy, and pulled it off well. If you go with the Stillen I don't think it would flow with the skirts, hood and rear like this one does. Wingless is growing on me more now that I see this. Great work man.

Oh, and that color... wow.

Keep the mesh, no need to have a bare FMIC unless you want to show off, but id rather not pick the bugs and shit out of the it...just my $.02

Wow I notice the stock color interior. Looks really good, and even better than the all white imo.

For some reason, I normally don't like crome, but damn they look really good with the car and everything! Just watch out for the police!

After hours of int...ok, minutes, of intense study of your car, I finally figured out what was wrong. You need thicker tires. Looks odd with low pro's on 17's.

That does look a little weird...

Your car is beautiful man...

And the turbo badge does look like the one I have, which I got off of ebay for $10... off of a porsche 911 :)

Thanks for the comments you guys, as for the mesh grill like said above I rather ruin my mesh then have a lot crap stuck in my fins. The main reason is cuz in case something really big is on the road i want it to smash mygrill in not bend my fins on the FMIC. I know it looks sick with a fatty FMIC just chillen there but I rather it perform well and u can still see it anyways.

It was my old Car Club Name "Team Underground" before the game, and yes i know it looks similar, but now that club has been dead for over a year now

You really think it looks weird? I had 235/45/17 before and they looked weird as hell so thick, i dunno maybe it was just me, I would def. get more tread life with thicker tires though.

Haha, that's not my car, but I keep up with it because it is one of my favorite Barcelona Red DSM's. It's got methanol injection with a Shepherd tranny. It's actually for sale in California. But those are 5Zigen 17x8 FN01R-C wheels with 225/45/17 Gforce KDW2 tires. Offset is 43mm.

I'm thinking 215/45. What's on there now, 205/40? I noticed the tires being too small when you first posted this thread but didn't post about it. Car looks good though :thumbsup.

Car's looking good. I'm pretty sure a splitter could protect the R34 from scratching and/or cracking. Yeah i know your pain though, no more fiberglass front bumpers for me.

Dude sorry to hear about that bumper/skirt. I went through the same thing when i had the Drift kit on my car. That car is one of the most beautiful that i've seen. I love the color too. Looks like the color off of my 05 Yamaha R1 sportbike.
