whatcha think of my spirit-r replica?
 

seeing as how i'll never be able to have a real one, i decided to rice out my r1. lol here's a few pics for ya guys

also, don't mind the wheels. i painted them when my car was black and they looked good them. they're gettin painted black today. i'm also ordering a set of gram lights today, so it'll look a little better

you need 99 rims some sides and you should have a spirit-r :)

hard to believe there's a front mount shoved in there somewhere, huh?

this is the last one for now

i wanted to get the spirit-r wheels, but couldn't afford em. i looked into the bbs rgr's, but i just wanted something slightly different, so i decided on the gram lights 57pro.

i might also add some skirts later down the road, but not sure about it yet. my calipers also need a nice coat of red

looks nice man
do you wanna sell your stock rims???

thanks. unfortunately, i need to keep my wheels. the rears have my drag radials on em

Looks great to me, I wouldn't be able to tell if is replica or real deal.
Good job.

Looks good! The only thing I don't like about the '99 spec front is the front license plate molding. I think that looks like crap (but nothing you could do about it).

Sharp car dude! :)

yeah, i never have been big on the plate holder, but it's costly and risky to try to get rid of it. i coulda got the pettit replica, but i will not have fiberglass anywhere on my car. i just covered it with a piece of carbon fiber :)

Looks very nice! Here is a quicky 5 sec chop of my black rims on your fd help get an idea of what they will look like.

Very nice!

Good job :)

Mich, how did you get your turn lenses to look like that? Looks great! (Sorry to whore up the thread).

thanks for the shop. i had a couple guys from a local board do some too. after i take care of a few things today, i'm gonna take the wheels back off and have a go at it

Looks great. Got any engine bay shots? ;) :)

looks nice, all you need is a set of wheels to finish her off.

here's one from about a month ago. it's kinda dirty right now. i'm gettin ready to have some piping made and get everything powdercoated. i left the engine bay black for now, but the door jambs, and hatch were painted.

they drop right in, its like a 15 minute install

paint looks fantastic... is it a one or two stage paint?

what color 57f pro's? gunmetal, silver, gold;) ?


(btw i like the look of the front plate holder, but shhhhhh don't tell anybody)

Me too. I think if front plates were ILLEGAL, everyone would want one. :)

i really couldn't tell ya about the steps or whatnot. i do know there's a gallon of clearcoat on it :)

i'm gettin the gunmetal 57pro's. if they don't look right with the paint, i might just have them painted black and have some custom stuff goin on. lol

Nice! Did you get the '99 bumper rebar too or just cut your old one? I too want the OEM '99 bumper but don't think I can afford to do it if I have to get the rebar.

Beautiful car. I love that color. I want to get my car done up like that, but the wife really likes the montego blue. :rolleyes: and I'm NEVER going to win that argument.

diiiiirty engine bay NICE car and setup

how did you mount your 3 bar?
pmed you
