Parts Came Finally...My Buildup
 

I recently recieved a carbon fiber spoiler off ebay...cost 200 plus 50 for shipping..pretty cheap i think...anyway the spoiler came in today and it looks badass...consistent weave and everything...the body kit came in today as well...looks badass. ive seen a few fc's on this forum with kits...but havent seen many verts...havent seen many verts to begin with anyway....so heres my little thread of my build...starting today


Before....

i have rims going on...might not keep em...i want black five starts with a
polished lip...i have chrome five stars (18'') also i have this that i found
and might get rid of....and the rear bumper....have a white front s5 bumper too but it has small cracks in the bottom...its glassable tho

any interest on this??

are the stands on spoiler even wide enough for fc?

It's a vert, there is no minimum width to attach it to the trunk, just a maximum.

To the OP, it's funny, you said you don't see many &s with a kit but you ordered the GP sports kit, that's the kit that EVERYBODY(who gets a kit) gets. I like the GP sports kit, the spoiler isn't my taste at all but it's your car and it's nice to see you're happy with it.

Well, as long as you have rimz going on...

Ya, definitely need rimz. lol I like the spoiler and kit. I think it'll look nice. :icon_tup:

well regarding everyone..thanks for the thumbs up...but as for the original post i made about the kits was that ive seen a few fc's on here with kits but not many VERTS...i think the vert rx7 looks waaaaaaaaaay different aside from the hatch...sexy body lines and the targa portion is a nice touch

ahh a vert project hell yes.ha

white fc convertible buildup in jersey thread.....nice.

hey, i see the "before" but no "after"? what the hell, you can't give a fat kid a cake with no frosting. you need both halves to make a whole. consider this fat kid upset.

Lol... You think he could put a whole body kit AND a spoiler on in a single day? Calm down man...

Jay, I think you should keep the chrome rims and go with the whole "VIP Drift" theme. It would work really well with the 'vert.

Keep us updated man!

Good luck with the project. Hope to see you around at a Rotary meet in the area.

I'm not really working as hard on the fc as I should be...right now I'm on the process of getting some fiberglass, putty and a bunch of sandpaper...i wanna give it a good sanding before it goes on. I'm still waiting on a locksmith right now to smith my locks because i dont have the trunk/door key (didnt come with it). The project is coming smoothly, but I'll be taking pics along the way. I'm gonna prime the whole car out, the car has a chipping maaco paint job...and a body kit is half the car anyway...its not much more on a vert to paint the upper half. I'm still kinda iffy on the 5 star chrome rims...

these are what the 5 stars look like... 18x7 with a 1.5'' deep lip and in need of a mothers polishing ball like my neighbor needs crack at 1 am....btw if i dont use these rims and i go with the black rims and polished lip ill be getting rid of these too

Uh oh...

wtf?

A) your door/trunk key is the same as the ignition
B) The spoiler is going to get you flamed
C) I hope the bodykit fits right because the majority of them look like ass. Your car "was" in really nice shape. The stock bumpers look awesome... It's just a shame.

A) My Fc had the lock cylinder replaced and the key doesnt fit (im adept enough to know)

B) I don't see why anyone would flame a carbon fiber spoiler. the weave is consistent and it weighs near nothing, also adjusts height and deflection

C) Project is being funded by opposing vehicles insurance

sad yes i know...but theres a reason for everything
the hood is fine and the light didnt get messed up, everything tucked...minivan went through a red...booo i know but
the insurance money is how ive funded this...once again ill say...before i get flamed...not my fault they blew a light

Crap.. sucks that your car got smashed...

yeah i got a good deal on the kit...gonna be doing the work myself, i used to be a body man before i got on at the stealership. yeah it does suck i just didnt wanna go posting pics of my banged up rex...she hurts man and she doesnt wanna be seen like that

Yeah, it's kinda like taking pics of your girlfriend when she's healing up from the breast implant surgery..

never thought about that...yeah i havent driven her in like two weeks...she needs a battery, radiator, fender, bumper lights and bumper...so i bought body kit, fender, spoiler, another stock bumper just in case i want to go back to stock with all s5 bumper lights...ive spent quite a bit on getting her into shape and pardon my anagrams if i came off a bit strong....just frustrated not being able to drive her with the nice weather coming in (had her two days before someone hit me)

damn that sucks man.

ah its not too bad man, the insurance money covers the body kit, spoiler and i was gonna upgrade the radiator anyway cause rotary motors need to be cool so they just bought me everything i wanted

ha nice man.
i might go with a body kit on my vert. im not sure though.
im probalby just going with the s5 tII lip and side skirts, and then the corksport fender and rear bumper.

Why is there a 10th AE badge on it if it is a vert and not an 88? Sorry, that's a bit like stuffing your pants.......
