justin have you thought about removing that giant bowtie off the rear light bar that gm so generously gave you? imo it cleans up the rear end quite a bit. just a suggestion.

fiberglass fumes kill me...i was shaping out the rear and i had to put on my breathing mask because they were intense and they are bad for you. but if smoking cigarettes for 60 years only cuts down like 4-5 years off your life, i guess it can't be that bad... let me know your guys opinions on this paint job idea:

wow that back end needs some major work, it sucks that companies put out kits like this. front doesnt look to bad besides light fitment and the dip in the middle of the hood line. other then that its not bad, course its rksport which puts out better quality parts.

yea still trying to fig wtf is up with his one lamp i know he messed it up a while ago but he also said his old bumper did it i didnt notice it prior make me wonder if it was in a little bump ima take some tools next time to measure the frame to see if its staright. as far as the dip its either the angle of the pic or something cause inperson its straight on. but still gotta tweak it here n there. the back yes the back was even worse in the center underneith it had this huge sections n cause the square exhaust cut yes i mean square the other half was sagged bad so we eliminated it completely we think it looks better then it did with that section. still gotta trim under there here n there. gotta really focus on that middle thats the biggest issue lol. like u said how companys can let crap go like that its like u get your first bike and dad bought it down the road at the discount store and ur all hyped to ride u get 10 feet and the dam thing falls apart hahaha thats how i felt on the fitment hahaha. but you know these dont happen in a few hours.

i remember this guy was selling his car right here on JBO. i didnt mind it, but im definately leaning towards painting it all black. im like 90 percent sure i want it gloss black. if i change my mind again just hit me.

read this thread to look at my old post on the aligment of my headlights wayne... it could be because of the clip missing but what that guy told me near the end sounds very legit and it is exactly how my headlights are aligned. drivers side is down and away for oncoming traffic and the other one is more straight aligned to the road. here is the thread::::

i was gonna place them on the ends, but that hole i need for my cold air intake...i was definately gonna put some mesh in there though. i thought they actually look better like i have in the photo to tell you the truth. ive seen the evo5 lights and i like em better in the middle.

So you mean to say that the work isn't finished yet? It's been 6 months...
Have you finished work on the kit?
Have you painted it?!
Anything?!?!?!

Lip kit and body kit are totally different things. You already had a offer to do the work but you dicked around to long and passed it up.

small world. thats my old front bumper. still chipped in the exact same spots, apparently never got used.







Re: Working with my Drift Kit

under the left headlight was a water droplet under the paint. chipping on bottom was from too eager spray bombing, and inside the squares was where the fogs rubbed. good to see my old stuff getting used. that kit gave me a new transmission

oh btw i made a piece to pull the bumper up and in at the top of the hood, see my pics. and how badly is the bottom of it scraped up? I dragged that thing everywhere lol
