come on paint it already i really want to see this thing done

 

what products did you use(fiberglass stuff) whats the product name and where did you get it? i am thinking about making a custom arm rest with a cupholder after i figure out how

 

corksport......hey damkis ur in eugene......we are working off of franklin over by OU...you should check us out sometime

 

I talked to my freind and he said we can paint the car either today (Wed.) or Thur. so it will be done soon!!!!

As for the question of material brands, just any brand of fiberglass cloth and resin, the kind that I got was Bondo brand I think.

west systems makes the best epoxy...in my opinion. For the mat, I'd go to a boating supply store

 

DAMN!! Now the guy says that he has to get several other cars finished so it will likely be next week before my car gets into his booth.

John

 

Can't wait to see some pics of it done! Are you leaving the s4 rub strips on it, switching to s5, or leaving them off?

If you PM me your email addy, I'll send you the video of JJ shoosting the shist out of that white vert.

I've also subscribed to this thread, so I won't space it off for a week again, lol.

 

Hey just a question but is there any parts body kits from over here in Japan that you might want for your car? I know you are into the one of a kind thing and I dont know how many people have JDM things. Just a thought.

 

nice job man, wont the HID's be a little too hot for the plexiglass?

 

I'd be interested in seeing some pics of what's available and fits the 'vert...

I know shipping costs are gonna kill any good deals you could get us...

 

theres somthing about pop up lights that i like, but those look gooooddd. i want to see those painted!

 

I have a full set of the S5 moldings to match the S5 rear bumper.

I will be running them with just some H7's for now but if heat is a problem I can find a better plexiglas I am sure.

Damn even my FD is starting to get Jealous of that ride.

 

I like the hell outta the re front end, just can't afford it.

 

Wouldn't lexan be more resilient against heat and cracking than plexiglass?

 

Yes, Lexan is what I plan to make my next set out of. The covers that I have now are the original scratched up prototype ones, and it was quicker/easier/cheaper to experiment with cheap plexiglas, but I plan to remake them from lexan as soon as I get other things right on the car. Lexan will also be better against scratches too. I evn thought of covering them with automotive clear since it is easy to wax/buff if it gets minor sand scratches.

The Border replica front end looks way better with those headlights than the RE-front end, in my opinion.

Did I miss a pic of the aluminum bezel in your sig, somewhere?

I sent the vid, lemme know if you got it!

 

How did you send it? I did'nt get any other e-mails.

Sorry, it doesn't look like emailing is gonna work...got any other ideas?

 

IRC I guess or you could post it somewhere for download later.

For the lenses- there are several companies that make scratch resistant polycarbonate sheet for racing applications.

Percy's Speed Glass is an example.

Check out Summit and such if you are interested.

 

man i wanna see this thing done!

 

any new pics of the paint job?

 

Square thoes up a little and shorten em, i still say the best look is cutting out the top of the FTP lenses and taking out the light motors, looks plain awsome like that, but good way to be orgional, we need some different setups.
