check out what ive done so far in 2 days









i'm going to do little more sanding but the dings are done. The car feels very smooth its ready for paint, but first i have to mount the sideskirts and bolt them in place. I will most likely be molding them and the back bumper to the car.

I'm going Satin Black like this skyline




I've bought a wicked spray gun + filter and I just need a compressor to get er done

Thanks for looking!

i hope you plan on puting the rest of that body kit on

 

thats what i said on the thread...

im going to mount the side skirts soon !

 

Two things:

1. Rims too big. (And ugly in my opinion)
2. Car not lowered enough.

Everything else is good. It's an Si, it has the muffler coming out the right way, and in good shape and out of all the body kits, that's the only one I like so, all the power to you my friend.

 

I just put a new suspension on the car
letting it settle in before i lower it
i got a full coil over suspension
and the rims im changing them to bronze
its a project and it will be finished soon enough

 

looks like a good start

 

good start, man!

keep up the momentum.

rims look too big, tho.

 

yeah i was thinking about either getting them in bronze or just selling them getting 16" or 15" inch

ever since i put them on i feel my car isnt as fast as it was with the stock blades.

i just hated the stock blades so boring

 

Go with 15's . Great start too .

 

go with 15's and thats the only body kit I like how much did you get it for?

 

Get the 15's in bronze and taht thing will look good. Good start though. kudos.

 

Don't mold the skirts and bumper to the car.

 

Seriously dont mold anything to the car. And also make sure you feather the filler in really nice, if done right you will never see the body work.

 

im not going to mold anything if you guys suggest that.

Ill bolt on the side skirts and make the screws flush to the kit with some bondo

however the side skirts are too short i have to cut them in the middle and extend them over to each side.

I also dont have the door caps for the kit so im going to take off the door rails like it is in the picture and the under garment on the door.

Thanks for all your suggestions and posts

im not painting it myself ive changed my mind on the color

 

Yeah i did the exact same thing, my Front bumper is a shade darker than my back bumper.

 

You sure you don't need to feather those areas with filler a little more?

 

im going over the car again
putting on the side skirts doing all the prep work(the work I HATE!!!!!!!)
