Did that old air filter get run the through the garbage disposal or something? ha...

 

haha it looks like it did.


Here are sonme updates on my car!

Few weeks ago i got into an accident rear ended a guy the car wasnt so messed up but it needed to be fixed.

pic:




So I decided to go with a body kit. Picked up a Demon Kit for 300 bucks all in good shape, new TII hood and new headlight assemblies.

Pics of the tear down:





Pics just before I started to put the kit on and that is were im stuck.

 

its mising the top piece.

you can clean up your tail lights real good.. take the time to polish em with some plastic polish. even toothpaste may work some. Then mask off the tail light area and spray paint the black part. Should restore em pretty decent.

You could probably repair taht hole in the original bumper pretty easily and spend that $300 on a 1day paint job and come out pretty good looking, over the Demon kit, looks like alot of work to get that kit fitted properly. Go register on http://fiberglassforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 and post up your kit install, im sure people will help you out on installing, theres alot of guys on that forum that work with fiberglass.

 

I got hte top piece just wasnt in the picture.

 

damn dude thats the quickest fix i have ever seen, i guess you got to work right away after your lil accident. car's looking good though, is that a full kit or just the front bumper?

 

Full kit. Rear/front Bumper and sideskirts. I got the kit to almost sit perfect right now with little to no work! Thank god Im lucky.

Ill post more pics when im done. in a little bit

 

wasting no time gettin that fc looking fresh nice 7 good progress to.

 

Heres an Update.

Front bumper is on. Sideskirts and Rear bumper will be on this weekend.

Its starting to look good
Here are pics.

I still got a little work to do on the top lip of the bumper because its not sitting right. but it works for now










Im liking it and in not a big fan of kits. I guess its because its my car

anyways

thanks for looking

Not a fan of the bumper at all... Have you thought about getting a stock 89-91 bumper and added a FEED lip?

 

Glad you got it fixed so quickely, but damn that kit is ugly.

 

haha i have not thought about an s5 bumper. Ill check into it. The kit doesnt lookl that good right now because of no paint and what not. I think once i get it all on and slap some paint on it it will look better hopefully.

Honestly I see this as a temp fix for now as this car is my daily.

Hopefully it will be painted in the next few weeks it will look better than (hopefully)

 

yea ditch the kit try to get what you can back out of it..s5 front bumper with a lip/feed/stock/etc.. believe me you will regret having the demon kit in about a year..you will throw up in your mouth walking to your car one morning. ha ha good progress but look in the pic threads and see what mods people already have done and the finished products and see what fits you just dont buy spare of the moment..words of advice young grasshopper

 

the bumper looks like a pre 89 mk3 supra

 

 

whats the origins of this kit? i think it was some american designed kit right? american made kits dont tend to look as good as their jdm counterparts.

Remove the mesh grill and do some clear front bumper signals might make it look better.. then Get some bolts and i say mount ur plate there.

 

Paint it red. You won't regret it. Black fc with red engine bay=ugly Just my opinion tho

 

Few updates. i removed the body kit. The Fiberglass is cracking and ****. Will have s5 bumper in the next few days thank god. now Im just keeping my eyes open for a Tii swap that is my next goal!

 

More updates!!!


The Body kit is now off. Had a mishap with the snow we had here and the kit for all fed up. s4 bumper is on now all stock. gonna add a lip to make it look better

Put in a short throw shift, i love the damn thing is awesome

Got an E-Fan, just havnet installed it yet. I Cant figure out how to get the stock fan off. so anyhelp with that would be awesome

Thanks

 

^leave the stock fan if you can(its not broken) the stocker fan really pulls some air

 

The efan i got is a lot stronger its like being in a tornado haha

 

I like the body-kit.

 

nice and clean car keep it up the work man

 

Yeah, I'd say leave the stock fan on. But if you really must, there are 4 nuts right behind the blades of the fan, IIRC.

Glad you're going with the S5 bumper instead. That kit looks like too much. Stock body looks best, IMHO. Speaking of stock, why did you ditch the S4 tail lights??? Yours looked perfectly fine. Also, have you done a major tune-up since you picked it up? Tranny oil, rear-end oil, coolant flush, etc. I'm surprised nobody mentioned anything about it so far. Or maybe I missed it...

Anyway, nice progress with your car. Looks like it's coming together pretty well in a short amount of time. Keep it up and keep the updates coming!

 

I wanted a pair of s5 lights because they look awesome. When i get the car painted red again I am going to have the s4 tails painted aswell and im going to put them back on the car.

I didnt get an s5 i got an s4 again came off of a 88 vert it still looks good, gonna put a lip on the front.

I havnt had the time to get a full tune up yet just because the car is my daily. ill have to do it sometime soon.

 

its looking good man, very impressed with your determination. if you need any parts let me know
