thats not a good idea to ground out all your grounds to a central location. just ground out everything that gets sepirated by a gasket. thats what i did. increased everything.

 

oh really, how does that work, does it help alot?

 

it's a place called Scheib paint & body, i think it's a chain
yeah check them out, i went to the one in the Valley in LA county

 

Earl Scheib did that nice of a job? Wow I'm impressed. Post back in like half a year to see how the paint is doing.

 

Not too bad, Im not a big fan of the fenders now, seems huge.

 

that is a badass kit, how much did it run you?

 

Paint looks nice. Does it look great up close? In the world of painting you usually get what you pay for. Like Macco and their $500 paint jobs. Nice kit though

 

The fenders look like my corksports.

I don't think the car needs to be any lower, it just needs different wheels. It looks like you've only got two inches or so of ground clearance anyway.

 

ones you get them rears spaced out nice that car will be perfect, good work, wanna sell me your old driver's front fender?

 

fenders came out niceley.. but i think the bodykit couldve used another wetsand. thats why im scared to go fiberglass.. quality does cost money.

 

What size are those rims anyways? Nice work on the body work. Looks clean.

 

I have sponsorship with AIT racing so it was free for me
but i think they sell the whole kit about 700
it's real nice quality, i went to the warehouse and stuff.

 

yeah, it's ok when u look close up, but u get what u pay for, thousand dollars just too much, if i'm gonna be running canyons a lot, paint isnt too important.

 

AIT did a professional installation on my car, so they took the old fenders away, sry, dont have it anymore

 

The extra material they use is called Core mat which not only strengthens the fiberglass but also adds rigidity and flexibility at the same time. the core mat is added to the back of fiberglass where the product receives the most stress to better protect the shape and form of the product and because it doesn't soak up resin like fiberglass therefore it is later.

the kits are also vaccumed fiberglass, very high quality.

 

thanks, those are 17s

 

umm... My opinion is that your car is pretty cool. Obviously you get a little bling factor for the fresh paint, body kit, carbon fiber hood and wheels. It's not really my style, there's a little bit too much going on. I'm all about simple, clean lines and I think it's somewhat difficult to achieve MY desired look with such a body kit. I would definitely paint the silver mesh in the front air dams flat black. It's distracting and adds too much competing color to the front of your car. Of course if your car was mine, I'd also VHT niteshade your turns and FTP's and give the car the FULL blue/black theme that it deserves. Orange and silver will kill any tasteful look (unless it's wheels).

 

Can you get some oics of the rear.I would like to see how the rear quaters were molded in.I have the same quarters and fenders from ait.Looks Real good like the color.Cant wait till my bomex kit comes in then i can get to work. Just got to get up the monef for my paint.......RX8 BLUE

 

Looks nice...once you fill out your fenders. And clean and paint your engine bay before your put your new engine in. Will look a WHOLE lot better. Even if you painted it flat black it would look real nice.

Nice blue. I love blue on the FCs.

And yes..Earl Sheib (sp?) is a chain...but most of his work Ive seen doesnt last very long. So beware. You definitely get what you pay for. Though if it was me and I was going to be drifting...I wouldnt spend anymore than you did either. Now...if it was a show/competition car, then yeah...I could see spending more.

Good job.

 

just wanna say it does look sweet and that's a good color blue. i'm not too fond of widebody kits but it is nice. rims are tight and i would like to get the info on them, though as static says, the rears would look better wit the spacers. good job and enjoy it. don't forget the info on the rims

 

I'd say some wider wheels would look better. Other than that I like the car.

 

Hows the paint now??

 

like the paint job, but my opinion not many body kits look good on fc's, s5 bumpers, and a lip for the front with some lowering, and maybe a offset for the back..looks just as good as any body kit.

 

Im loving the car dude, but i hate those rear fenders no offense, and the wheels... well, just get 18" wheels :P but hey nice paint job

Boo bumping 2 year-old threads!

Hurray blue FCs! *wink wink*
