Before Sending to the shop

After the whole accident and winning the case I get to send my car to the shop and get my doors replace and since they have to paint those I might as well get my bodykit painted as well. me and my dad barely put the front bumper on and I just wanted to take some pics today to show everybody before it goes to the shop. cheers




Sorry for the bad pics it was getting late after i washed the car

I didn't want to take pictures on the other side since thats where the accident was

I'm not going to get my fuel door painted seeing I payed $85 to have a custom made carbon fiber fuel door and I'm keeping the black spoiler since it blends with the carbon fiber trunk i'm going two toned.

I'm going to keep the sideskirts black and have the ken front be two toned and having the rear diffuser two toned as well (Reason for the sideskirts to be black is because its going to flow with the front bumper thats why)

might look something like this the left picture is what i was thinking it would look like right now and the right is what i hope it might look like. sorry for the crappy photoshop

never a fan of the fuel door being another color (or cf, it doesn't weigh anything to begin with ), just never understood why, but that setup should look pretty good with the two tone paint job. Didn't realize you had a cf trunk in the pictures either. Is that a cf hood as well?

Ya its a carbon fiber hood as well. I was the one that got the hood, trunk and spoiler for $50 on ebay several months ago {thumbup** You can look on my sig to see my general setup. My exterior mods are finally going to come to a close. The last things I'm looking for are probably black depots headlights, carbon fiber side mirror covers and carbon fiber b pillars with a couple spirit of competition decals slapped on

Next is the engine and interior. I'm already starting to build my turbo kit up got the intercooler and the turbo mani so far and for the interior I just want maybe evo seats and a single din dvd player thingy and that will be the end of that
