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.



Mitch

 

Very nice!

Good job

 

Mich, how did you get your turn lenses to look like that? Looks great! (Sorry to ***** 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. 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
