Default gay window in the door idea

so heres what i came up with for what im wanting bodykit wise, many of you called it gay. i call it a masterpiece . so ok,

the hood is hard to see, but it has a few vents all woven together from a bmw, the gforce hood and some other hood. ill have to get it in fiberglass for sure, cf would be ridiculous

the vinyl i want on it is gonna consist of a few reflective and window frost vinyls, i did the stripes for my bros sunfire. they're black in the day, glowing white in the night, neat. i dont know if i want black reflective or red reflective though.

the wheels i like are the rota gold ones i have down there, but i found some cheaper 5 spokes that i like a little better, and they're cheaper!!!!!! haha

while painting my door panels, i noticed a crush bar only down the middle of the door, i would have to cut it out and but one on the top and bottom of the window, and im pretty sure i will need pop out windows.






and a clear roof


and all that with a turboed h23

car $500
h23 $300 plus pistons n turbo a bunch of grand
bodykit no clue, im gonna guess like O.O $2800 at least

It'll be well more than $500 and $2800.

I spent $15/16k (over two years) and didn't touch the motor internals and did very minimal in terms of exterior.

It's not hard to see that you have spent some time @ NOPI or other sorts of "all show" events Granny. I like your thoughts and drawings, minus the aluminum wing. Personally I'm not an all show kind of guy. It's function over form for this cat.

No matter what though, I wish you the best of luck

if flashy is your thing you've got it!

maybe a little over ambitious for the prices your listing, but i like that you've got it all worked out graphically (as opposed to just slapping parts on and hoping for a cohesive look in the end...)

the wheels are alright and the graphic your calling "windows" isn't all that bad, but to be honest.. i think the spider and web thing are mucking it up. it's too distracting.

but what do i matter.. i'm a function over form guy too. hope you like the attention you get

Your rendition/drawings are impressive.. Little too flashy for my taste and other peoples aswell but if its what YOU want go for it.. Though I do not have a clue how you will pull it off, BUT it can prolly be done.. I just wouldnt imagine your OE windows would function anymore.. If they did you would have to see all that crap inside the door.. (motor, rails, wires exc..)
Im not sure you will be able to do it all for 2,800$ but thats just me.. I spent more than that on my turbo setup alone...

umm.... i think just about every one reading this missed the fact that he said his estimate is "AT LEAST" $2800... i do agree that it will most likely be far more expensive than that. my guess is gonna be in the relm of at least $5000... i wish you luck. its too flashy for me but it looks like you have put a lot of thought into it and its what you really want.

*EDIT* WOW!!! i didnt see the glass roof. let me change that to absolutely bare minmum of $10,000... you realize that you will need custom made glass for that right? that wont be cheap man.

Lol, I could say my S2000 cost me at least $10. It does not help at all in estimating price. It is well over a $20k vehicle as it is suggested.

i was just trying to say i hope the op doesnt really believe that it can be done for anywhere near $2800. not trying to give an accurate estimate

With all that glass your planning on putting you better have some strong internals and everything cause that's a lot of weight to carry.
