WITH THAT SAID, i was not impressed with Amuse when i opened up the boxes. there was nothing in there that would break any falls or whatnot. No bubble wrap, no paper, nothing! that completely took me off guard. so while the boxes were okay, maybe they got beat up when the boxes were moved around...and flipped...or what not.

phelan · 05-03-2010, 02:22 AM

teaser pic. well, not really, it's actually not a bad pic, but eh:

Trips · 05-03-2010, 02:23 AM

Nice! Pillow Boy...lol

Wow nice work, you shaved the landing strip indents! looks really nice phelan. when thats on your car with the kit and everything is all painted i bet it's going to look really great. are you going to be keeping your hood and hatch exposed CF or painting that too?

phelan · 05-05-2010, 02:03 AM

Headlights, pillars back at the bodyshop. I need to go to the Z store tomorrow evening and grab a rear fog light as well.

I'm kind of depressed over how long this is taking, but I'm not about to start rushing things. I want the kit to come out the best it possibly can. At the same time though...I dropped the car 4/10, it's now 5/4. Bah.

This does mean there is a very good chance the Z will not see the STILLEN open house this weekend, and that bums me out big time. Even if the body shop does call me and says it's done, they will have put it back together per my instructions - don't touch the hatch, do not install the wing until I get the stock piece back. I don't want the CF look on the pillars or hatch; it'll stay restricted to the hood (and even that I eventually plan to paint over a majority of it).

So the car is going to look really weird for a while.

our cars have to look ugly at one point in time to turn out looking badass in the end

Don't worry phelan, the line between genius and madness is measured by the number of people you have to kill to succeed.

On another note, the more and more pics I see of MRWork's... Work lol The more I like. I can't wait to be able to ship a set to them and get my headlights modded as well.
