Ok, I have a question.....

Why is it that people will drive around with body kits that are not painted. It makes no sense to me. I mean even if the kit needs work to be fitted, it will still be easier to piece paint the kit than try to paint it while its mounted on the car. It just doesnt make much sense to me. Paint the kit and then mount it.

Im not trying to flame here, Im just trying to understand the reasoning.

 

agreed.

he meant he had tyc by his statement about "triangle" tailights

 

Triangle Lights?

I agree, Kit is nice (Accolade?)
Did it directly bolt on? Any work needed? Fitment issues?
And yeah I agree...that should be painted, then installed.

 

it looks like blitz to me but i cant see the front

 

yea my best friend/roommate driven her mans car and his kit isnt painted either, i guess cuz it costs to get painted and sometimes not everyone is lucky enough to have it

 

i guess the reasoning for slapping on the kit ish cause i guess he really couldnt to show off to everybody dhat his lancer ish diffrent from every1 ones... i knoe i would to the same....

 

The whole car is getting painted at once so the kit has to be on to paint it, as it is getting marblized and it would look bad if painted seperately, since it wouldn't run together then. It's the blitz kit all the way around. the kit went on pretty easy. The only hard part was taking off the rear bumper, all those friggen screws inside the car and out.

 

yeah, the taillights are the elegante by tyc carbon fiber ones, but the look wierd at night, with the red reflectors on the bottom and sides of the light

 

hey did you get that kit in houston tx? from spoilersetc??

 

where are more pics of the blitz kit? how much is it

 

looks nice, i'd love to see some day pics and of course once it's painted. Good luck finding a sponsor

 

spoiler tech?????

 

no, its spoilers ETC.

 

Plus... you gotta see if the kit fits or not... because if you get the kit painted and then try to put it one then find out that the kit doesnt fit. you wasted money painting the kit. THEN you cant return the kit because you painted it already. ALSO if you try it on.. to see if the kit will fit... It'll be a hassel to take the kit off...

 

I already stated that the kit couldbe test fitted...

So you say its a hassle to mount the kit, work out any issues, then dismount and paint by pieces? Have you ever painted a car? Its a bigger hassle to properly mask and tape off areas and try to prevent over spray. In this case though, if the whole car is getting painted a different color, then the best method is to paint the kit mounted on the car....
