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?

 

Your headlight conversion is awesome, paint looks good to!

whoops double post the last one is the same fc6

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

BTW His car looks just like mine.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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