Very nice, I feel that it needs a front lip though IMO to give it that really agressive look. But hey that's just my opinion. It's still way better than my car man. lol

Haha dont remind me

I know a lip would be awesome, but I am going to finish up some of the supporting stuff (such as rear control arms) before finishing up the cosmetic stuff. Lips are stupid expensive for certain ones to

Yeah that stuff is crazy expensive but totally changes the look of the car. You did it right though with the go before show. It will all come together soon!

INKMAN · 04-11-2012, 06:26 PM

I know right?

It has to be built in Japan (two weeks or more), shipped by boat to the U.S., then put on a train and shipped to Chicago, then put on a truck to come here.

No, it was pretty easy. Hangers all match up. The trick that I learned was to take the rubber hangers off of the driver side. Then I hooked up the exhaust to the passenger side hangers that were still on the car. I slid the rubber hangers on the exhaust, then once it was on the exhaust I slid them back on to the car. I couldn't figure out how to get the exhaust on without removing the rubber hangers that way.

Cutting the back bumper was pretty easy. I picked up a set off metal shears for 18 gauge metal (straight cut). I cut out as much of the middle part of the bumper as possible to reduce the amount of material. By doing this I could control the metal shears easier. This resulted in a cleaner final cut. I used a file to fine tune the edges. I still need to do a little cleanup on my bumper but I ran out of daylight.

Hit me up if you have any more questions.

INKMAN · 04-11-2012, 06:45 PM

I hear ya man, I waited 5 weeks for mine. It came in to the port of Boston then took another week to get to me in NY.

It is vinyl. They are local and I am one of their testers so i reached out to them. They were cool with it. I really like how it turned out.
