My 2002 Bugeye de-ricing rebuild, clean-up aisle 5. - Page 3

RALLYT-WRX · 12-06-2012, 08:46 AM

Update: All the carbon fiber is getting sprayed with Candy over the next two days. I should have some pics in the next day or two.

I also had to switch to an 04-05 bumper to make the spats and diffuser work, so I had to get new tail lights as well. Oh well.

Did you get 04-05 tails or 06-07?

RALLYT-WRX · 12-06-2012, 09:09 AM

04-05. Not a big fan of either, but at least the 04-05 don't look like Altezza's. Lol
Just a small sacrifice I had to make to make the HKS diffuser work.

I don't know how you feel about this but I think tinting or smoking the reverse light can potentially make them look better. Like so...(Not my car)

RALLYT-WRX · 12-06-2012, 09:23 AM

That doesn't look too bad. Might look into that once I get the car back.

oh my f*ck...no way I could ever justify that on a 10 year old vehicle, but it's your car, and it looks great, but that's a lot of cheddar.

can't wait to see it done.

It's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new car.

Plus I have 3 other cars so it's just a toy to me and most people don't buy toys with their wallets in mind.

Yeah I didn't think it looked terrible either. It's just a subtle change yet it makes an impact.

Well put. Car looks great!

crashkid85 · 12-06-2012, 11:51 AM

Holy hell I cant wait to see this done..Great car

brett192 · 12-06-2012, 01:54 PM

Wish I had that kind of money to have my bugeye paint redone also, that's more expensive than my car!

Eagerly awaiting finished product

RALLYT-WRX · 12-07-2012, 08:03 AM

The painting of the carbon got delayed due to some unforeseen problems with pin holes in the carbon pieces, which need to be fixed. So I might not have ay pics till early next week, oh well.

YZ86 · 12-07-2012, 05:26 PM

Cant wait to see this car finish! I wish I live close to IAG shop

RALLYT-WRX · 12-07-2012, 05:54 PM

Got some updated photos for you all.

RALLYT-WRX · 12-07-2012, 05:55 PM

It's all starting to come together.

besthaticouldo · 12-07-2012, 06:02 PM

wow, man im glad i clicked on this thread. that is one beautiful bug eye.

nice work.

subscribed.

RALLYT-WRX · 12-07-2012, 06:22 PM

Thanks!

But the real credit goes to the guys at IAG Collision. They are leaving no stone unturned with this build. I can't wait to get the car back, hopefully before the bad weather hits. It will then go back in the spring for the rest of the interior work as well as the roll cage.

RALLYT-WRX · 12-11-2012, 12:52 PM

Just got word from IAG, they are starting the reassembley of my car. I have to go down there to drop off the new tail lights for it so I should get to see it first hand for the first time.

low-n-slow · 12-11-2012, 02:04 PM

I don't know about you, sir but I am excited

RALLYT-WRX · 12-11-2012, 05:44 PM

Update time.....

RALLYT-WRX · 12-11-2012, 05:45 PM

And the money shot.

03boxer4 · 12-11-2012, 05:48 PM

I'd NEVER drive it on the highway...

or in my neighborhood, or around anything that could scratch/hurt it.

RALLYT-WRX · 12-11-2012, 05:56 PM

Crazy part is it hasn't even been buffed out yet.
