Well it took 2 months and most of you guys wont like it, but i dont care.
The inserts are painted gunmetal to match the rims. i think it looks alrite A bit hardcore for most of you i agree, but these pictures dont do it justice. tell me what ya think... This post has been edited by Pvc99gT: Dec 24, 2003 - 2:55 PM |

I'm not a big fan of the Bodykit but inserts look pretty good matched to your rims your Kevlar Carbon interior looks nice and your hood is hot. Good stuff man congrats.

the side skirts and rear bumper are "quasi-molded" there's no seam because it was filled with caulk and painted on the car. doesn't look as good as full out molding, but none of the problems you get with molding. the side skirts look really good without the seam. All i have to do now is wait 90 days for the paint to fully cure so i can get some graphix on there and then my tail lights are gonna get painted too. hes gonna see if he can do a transparent gunmetal, but if he cant hes just gonna go with the transparent red for the tails. its pretty much exactly how i pictured it.

Its very original.. a little much in my opinion, but it still looks really good! Did you get that hood off of somebody on this site?

Fenders look great, but not much of a fan for the kit. This is definatly one of the most unique cars from the site. I like the interior consoul. Did you make that also or did you find it online?? Either way let me know I'm want it! Ill hook you up if you made it.
NICE car!! David |

Thanks for the unexpected positive reply! Ill get more pics up in January. Its christmas so no time for pics and im goin to florida tomorrow. ill take some pics after i get back! Heres the answer to a few questions...
Bojangles- the hood is custom. that is an Erebuni hoodscoop molded onto my stock hood. subsolo- it'll be pretty pricey to copy this, and it took almost 2 months! its freakin perfect tho. my painter, tony, is such a perfectionist that he wants to respray the spoiler in the spring after the rest of the paint sets because there were some tiny imperfections in the fiberglass that he wants fixed. i had to really look hard to motice. You could do an engine swap with goodies for the same amount of money that was spent here. your choice... Phat- They're M Roadster Fenders. Had to get just the pieces and mold em into my stock fenders. They were originally supposed to go on the hood, but im happy that we decided to put em on the fenders instead. i was gonna find a different vent or graphic to put on the fenders, but this looks so much better than that wouldve looked. the hood wouldve been a bit too busy and the fenders wouldve looked bare compared to the rest of the car. ToY- My Red Carbon Fiber Dashkit was made by one of the big companies, but i forget which one, i know it was not torasport. they originally sent me a black/red dashkit. but i sent it back and got the RED/RED just look around for it. I'm gonna do all the rest of the accents in red carbon fiber if i can figure out how to do it and make it look good. the kit isnt perfect so if i figure out a better idea ill take it off and do whatever im doing. im gonna try to dye some fiberglass mat red and then epoxy it on the other accents so it looks like i have red carbonfiber accents. if not ill just do really shiny red and take off the dashkit. but i think ill be able to make the pieces to do it so it looks like CF. I think i might end up redoing my interior so everything is red and gunmetal instead of red CF and black. Well only time will tell. Now im just waitin til the spring so i can get the spoiler resprayed, get the tail lights sprayed, and get my graphix put on. the kit isnt THAT bad, now is it? |

cool. but ya, make sure your painter doesnt go messing with that spoiler. fiberglass will always have spiderwebbing, he can paint 5cm worth of paint on it and it will still show through. so dont have him try to fix his work that is fine how it is, thats just one of the perks of urethane over fiberglass.

lol its called spiderwebbing, you literally have to redo the fiberglass to get rid of it... but if he wants to waste the paint on it at his own expense more power to him hehe

i know what im talking about... fiberglass has microfinite fibers, if you paint directly onto the fiberglass YOU WILL GET SPIDERWEBBING. that is why 90% of the companies gel coat the product, like you said you can bondo the entire thing if you want to... but bondo can crack after minimal wear. i know what im talking about, ive taken over a year of autobody, collision, repair and paint.
