After two long years I finally finished my exterior. Now I know to some of you it's "Ricey" or "another Honda screwed by a ricer" or whatever negative things you have to say about all my hard work. Please keep those to yourself. Otherwise tell me what you think.

well mike, I think you just finished something that you will regret. Your front and rear bumpers will crack overtime. Also your corners and tailights will hold so much water that you can put fish in there so you get more points at a car show.

Just letting you know my opinion.

 

Thanks for the advice, but I've been a body mechanic since I was 16 (I'm 22) I use a a very strong poly resin, not just bondo. I've molded on several body kits and never had them crack. Yes the corners do get water in them occasionally, but that's why they're only 12 bucks, lol. But thanks for the critique.

Mike

 

True...plus I don't think those rims will hold up with any pot holes in your area.

 

not my cup of tea my man... but for effort and hard work!!

 

whoa, 2 years too late!!!!!

 

congrats on completing your goal...i personally dont think it looks that bad...id just swap the rims rear lights and head lights and itll be all good...keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's been two years total, I had a 95 VX that I was making JDM, I had stripped interior, D16Z6, started building the engine just for racing at the track, then my brother totalled the car. I bought this one about 5 months ago, and decided to just do all the eye catching mods. I couldn't make this one just for racing because I have a son and need the back seats. Kid + Phat looking ride = Girls, lol!!\

I haven't completely killed my need for speed yet. I'm in the AirForce and when I get my sign on bonus I'm getting a B18C1 with a Greddy Turbo @ 16 psi. So then I hope my car won't have to be a sleeper. I know most people say, "If it looks fast it's not" I want mine to look fast and be fast!!

congrats on reaching your goal.

just ignore those nut sniffers that are posting negative feedback even though you requested for them NOT TO.

With cars, you can NEVER be done, theres always something to improve on

 

but if it's to your liking

 

Funniest reply on a thread ever...

 

man, I give those bumpers a month before they fall off

 

posting pics of you car and asking for ONLY positive feedback=

 

"man, I give those bumpers a month before they fall off"

You're already wrong, they've been on for three

5 Months = 2 years I don't get it? Which one is it. Big "E" for effort, I liked it before.

 

 

Its cool if its your thing. I mean I have a huge show aspect to my car as well as a ton of JDM as well and all the power to back it up! If your car was mine (which its not) Id slam it so im tuckin some tire, Would of shaved everything since the rest is shaved, shaved the inner tails, and make sure its got the power to back it up. then you got yourself a little show car!

Good luck and if you did your mold/kit job right. You shouldnt have any problems. A few buddies of mine have the complete car done and they have had zero problmes!

 

why the hell does your car look so lumpy?

 

yeah...looks like you took all the clearcoat off the whole side of the car!

 

looks like he only put one coat of clear on the sides.

If you were a mechanic for 6 years I would expect better results.

to each his own though

 

why? mechanics don't paint.....

 

Yeah I know, not gonna happen here buddy

 

its nothing special...looks cheap with all the aftermarket body panels on it...your gonna be upset you wasted so much time and money when the bumpers crack or spiderweb..even if you did resin the backs of them a curb or a cement bump will not move out of the way..your fiberglass bumper will sell it and buy a chevy lumina if you want to waste money on making somthing look stupid

 

I am just getting red x's,......can't see anything

 

me too
