are they still urethane or did they make them fiberglass? It’s a bit odd to me being able to squish my side skirts!

Do you have a side shot or something of the car? I’m seeing at least 3 different colors and was just curious how they meshed from other angles!

wdym about squishing the side skirts? And the tray is actually made of thick and pretty strong wood resin with a honeycomb finish on top of it. They say they made it that way in case of impact the wood will just completely get destroyed into pieces vs other material that would bend or get pushed in too much that would cause other damages to the under portion of the engine etc. Yeah the car is originally SSM but i purchased the head lights that color already, the fenders ( i had crappy fiber glass ones so i went back to oem) i found at a good price. Then the non painted aero which is the front bumper and side skirt

Gotcha. I like it in a "because race car" kind of way. Especially since they're all grey tones.

I've got a JDM with dealer installed side skirts. They're not soft, but I can press my finger into them and they will squish in a bit. I'm used to hard body work, except back in my Pontiac days with the Endura bumpers!

yeah these are made of like a hybrid frp which is what shine auto said. They are hard but can flex just a little bit which is super awesome. I have to line them up better although

What are the tire size specs on this? The whole thing just looks...GREAT!

I am going to be in the market when I near the end of my build (number 2) and I absolutely love how this sits, it's killer!

Edit: Nevermind, went and found on your build thread, love how they look. Was planning on running a 255 series on my Advan's over the silly stretched 245's that are on them.

cr-rex 11-12-20 02:07 PM

Thank you... its 255/40 and 275/40 bfg g-force sport comp 2

No exterior shots today, but I did install the Autoexe intake recently (gave me lots of turbo noise, but not as much extra engine noise as I hoped). Yesterday I installed a Speedhut boost gauge and discovered I'm now running 12/10/12 boost.

That Guage looks and fits perfectly. Always liked those intakes, so much better looking than the stock box. Are you tuned (afmkt ECU) to compensate for the boost increase?

Yeah, I am really glad someone else figured out the aftermarket gauge in stock cluster already!
I am not...still deciding how I want to handle it. I'm not really looking to mod the car beyond this, so trying to decide between a boost controller or aftermarket ECU.

Not the best photos right now but here's my 1993 FD when I bought it back in July of this year and how it looks now. It's coming along. Last exterior thing to do is change the front bumper to the 99 spec.
