Pathetic excuse for a photoshop, but u get the idea...

 

hmm...I'd say go for a carbon fiber grill.

 

So you did not shoot the primer through an HVLP gun? you used spray cans like an aerosol?

 

oh ya, i'd definitely go with a CF grill if i were to put one on at all... thanks anyway kareem...

dave... yep, the aerosol cans of primer worked just fine. got a nice even clean coat.

 

man... this kit gets better and better every day i see it on my car. i can't even tell you guys how many compliments i get on it... and i haven't even put the mesh in yet!

everyone wants to race me on the freeway now... *shrug*

 

hey is your friend still selling the evo5 spoiler?

 

racingmylancer, seriously your kit does look better and better. I am envious... hahah... ****... I wanna get my car painted soon. One questions though. Why didn't you paint the hood?

 

i love the CF look, i could never paint it... i'm thinking about getting a CF trunk, too. i'm catching the sickness... you may soon find me in my garage making custom CF A and B pillars!

korean; ya man, he's still got it. PM me for details.

 

^^^ .. its CF ... u gotta show off the CF .. hahaah

 

Hey racingmylancer, does your car feel lighter with the new kit or with the stock parts on it?

 

it's hard to tell... part of the effect may be psychological... but it SEEMS like i'm facing more air resistance with my new front bumper... on the other hand, the stock parts definitely felt heavier, mainly due to the extra reinforcement present on the stock front and back bumpers, which would mean my car is now lighter.

so bottom line? i can't really tell.

 

2 different material...

PFRP (New Kit) and Polyurethane (Stock)

Polyurethane is tougher and more rigid (also thicker) thus it's heavier. The bodykit is lighter than the stock parts.

 

super job kareem...too bad my black paint is 2 and a half years old under the california sun...beaten to a heavy gray, lol. Think when i get my kit i'd have to save money to paint the whole *****.

 

you might be surprised, bro... maybe the true color is still under there waitin' to get buffed out... the factory paint color looked just about like a perfect match with my car, and she's also been in the cali sun since october of 2001.

then again, maybe it's just easier to get away with a color difference with yellow.

 

*SIGH* damn I jus primered by kit white and it looks good, now i can't wait till i paint it.


Note to everyone... To primer a car isn't easy as you might think it is.
