thats gonna look like absolute sex man!!! i wish i had the money for an amusekit like that....

btw... yah bro tiger stripes FTW LOL

Short update. So the kit and car is in the shop...sigh

I miss waking up the neighborhood with a nice V6 howl...

Anyway, the kit looked great on initial impression, but right now the body shop thinks otherwise. Slightly perturbed by that, as Baker-Jackson Nissan got Mothra together with a near 'perfect' fit. Wonder what makes this one off? Or is it really off...?

I'm having the shop do a complete test fit before they really go "yeah...it doesn't fit well at all" and charge for my kidney to continue forward. Hopefully it all works out and work starts this weekend...somewhere lol.

When the car is down, though, off go the headlights for a bit of modding

Still waiting on new parts from a vendor here and there. *cough cough* lol

I'm thinking right now I'm gonna color-match the handle. Yes / no?

On red, not 100% sure, do not think anyone has done it yet.
Of course if you had PG or white or black it would be an easy yes, but you had to pick red.

Don't think a bleeding lung is an excuse

SkyZ · 04-27-2010, 09:50 PM

how bout those picts?

phelan · 05-02-2010, 09:23 PM

So either Baker-Jackson got really lucky with their kit, or I got the short end of the stick...anyway, there's been a lot of work by the body shop to get the kit on nicely. This is the rear, and they say it was all wavy and crap when I brought it in.

Okay...it wasn't THAT wavy to me, but they're the experts not me.

The front bumper was more of the same I guess. Anyhow progress continues..should have everything but the wing on by this week.

MRWorks has delivered my headlights back too, I need to get some pictures of those up soon...if I get some in my e-mail soon... *cough*Marco*cough* lol

Or else they're gonna have to deal with crappy camera phone pics from me!

theDreamer · 05-02-2010, 09:25 PM

Wait, I thought you had a red car?

Trips · 05-02-2010, 09:28 PM
