grinding off rock guard

 

FUN

 

more pics are on the board now. hopefully the moderator will move them to this thread.

 

notice the custom center cap I made to keep the wheel looking stock

 

cool

 

nice ***

 

Nice, but blow the pics up yo! I want to see detail!

 

here it is

 

after the dyed panels and new carpet. I also bought all new dash panels so I didnt have to put up with that peeling crap.

 

I dont know how, sorry.

 

its still hard for me to believe its the same car when I look back at the pics, before I started the project.

 

that is nice

 

Looks good!

what did it look like before?

 

hey man it's beautiful but keep all the pics in the same thread, it clogs up the forum and makes the mods work more to sort them all out.

 

How much were all the dash panels?

 

I think they were around $1100. I tried to paint the old ones first, but they just didnt look the way I wanted them too..

 

!! from what source?

 

rx8 shift ****, and notice I succefully deleted all the little lines on the gauge cluster to make it look like the 94s'. The panels were bought from the dealer.

 

super duper

 

nice fall day

 

how did u grind off ur rock guard stuff? I might have to keep that in mind if i ever re-spray my car. Congrats on how the car looks, the hard work paid off huge, imo!

I ended up using a wire brush on a drill. It took me about 4 hours to do both sides. At first I wasnt going to remove it, but if you are going to put side-skirts on your car it helps them to blend in better without the rock-guard there.
I tried to sand it off first, but the stuff gets kind of gummy.

 

nice car.

btw.. donny

did you borrow the idea of having apex side skirts and stock 99' front rear and front spoiler ? cuz that is the exact same setup on the red importspeedsouth FD (except for the rims)

again, dope car. especially your taste in style.
