Pics: I finally painted my RE Cowl!
 
This paint job is just temp for the winter.
In the spring I am going to paint the whole car.
Keeping it black base coat but putting a twist in the clear coat.

Anyway what do you guys think?

Looks great bro!!

Be carefull if you ever take the car to be washed by someone else. My friend took his to a car wash and they put to much pressure on the lense and they broke it.

$2000 for a Re-amemiya bumper and some dumbass break the headlights:mad:

so that is the re-amemiya kit? and its 2 grand? where did you get it at? looks bad.

edomund 11-26-03 01:05 AM

Yeah it's the RE Amemiya FC Full Cowl Pro.
I bought it from Inukai-san a driver for Mr Amemiya.
He brought it over from Japan I picked it up in San Fransisco.

It wasn't 2k it was around $1400.

Here's a before pic just to show how far it's come along

luiml73 11-26-03 01:11 AM

My friend bought his 2 years ago straight from Japan. Back then it was $2000

edomund 11-26-03 01:23 AM

Yeah mines from Japan also.
Usaully it is around 2k but I got free shipping because I knew Inukai and he had extra room in his container from Japan.

Man someone beat me to the black FC with FC Cowl :)
Oh well. I'm changing the color a bit in the spring.

edomund 11-26-03 01:24 AM

BTW His car looks just like mine. :)

luiml73 11-26-03 01:26 AM

I hope you have another car as a daiy driver, because my friends car no longer looks like in those pics. When You spend so much money on a kit and paint job, I think it should only be drven on the weekends

edomund 11-26-03 01:29 AM

Nope my Daily Driver is my T2.
I wouldn't want to drive anything else.

I have a good friend who is a body work guy from Japan so paint and body work is free, just cost of materials.

WOW, lucky ;)

does anyone have inukai's contact info like email or a cell number? ive been wanting to get that bumper for soooo long, its just that ive been working my butt off to get some money saved up, not only the bumper, but i also want the other RE stuff for the FC.

introVert 11-26-03 03:27 AM

I like the hell out of the RE front end- but I think I'll have to pop for the copy that Rotary Extreme has- a bit cheaper, and no killer shipping charge.

GEINN FC3S 11-26-03 03:37 AM

yah, just in case u crash u wont feel so sorry about it hehe

edomund 11-26-03 11:46 AM

Inukai wont charge you shipping he didnt charge me.
I'll try to get his email his old one doesn't work anymore. Plus since you are in CA you could pickup from west coast shipping point.

Anyway what do yall think about the kit and paint?

Trav 11-26-03 12:02 PM

edomund, I think it looks great, but I have a request. I've been trying to find a pic of a side shot of this kit. I thought I found one awhile back and I was a little disturbed by what the kit did to the body lines, but I can't find the pic again to verify.

anyway, take a side shot of your car. Not a 3/4 like you did, an actual 90* side shot.

fantastic otherwise!!!!

-TAL- 11-26-03 12:13 PM

only thing i don't like about this kit, is the headlight lenses. They look out of place for some reason to me the way they fit. I think a black ring around the edge would make them look alot more stock. Anyone know what i mean?

*EDIT*

Ok i took a second to do a quick photoshop job to give an idea of what i am talking about. If anyone can hose the image for me, please PM me with your e-mail, and i'll e-mail it over to ya.

Thanks

Nice. I don't usually like body modifications, but that looks great :)
