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

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

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.

Nope my Daily Driver is my T2.

putting it down daily
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.

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?

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!!!!

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
