so today i was able to do final installation of the passenger side rear fender
and start assembling the diffuser

im so happy i went with threaded inserts and allen bolts instead of just sheet metal screws
she's so nice and curvy now!! Roxy has gone from Kiera Knightley to Kim Kardashian!!! lmaooo

She's starting to look like a car again!!!
if all goes well i should be able to get her back at my house on friday
Also i tried on the Garage BB 1600mm wing on my bosses FD, and it looks like its going to be the perfect width for Roxy with the wide body.

they started on my headlights and canards at the body shop today
AND I GOT TO TAKE HER HOME!!!!!
SSM is hands down the best color for the FD, i don't care what anyone says...when the sun hit it, it just pops!!!
please forgive me for the cheapy wheels that were on again...i feel better having the donuts be seen than these!!!

I have to say that the wheels and bodykit aren't my cup of tea, but everything looks to be done very well. I'm a fan of the less extreme/near OEM look though, so take my opinion for what it's worth. I'm glad you finally got to drive it again though!

those are not the wheels i'm putting on!!!!
i'd never ever ever ever ever put chinese Vossen wheels on any of my cars!! lol
i hear you though man, this is going to be an extreme track car though, not to be driven on the street really
i want to buy another one to keep stock-ish (99-spec) and roll around on the street with

99 front bumper with LP bracket removed, JDM side skirts, mild rear diffuser, FEED type II wing painted body color, Enkei RPF1s, coilovers. That's where it's at IMO. I think I just outlined my build for you, LOL.

true true...thats pretty much what my build will be as well for my street FD
i'll get another SSM for sure
and i'd have to build a proper set of forged wheels for the car, but thats because i'm mega **** about wheels
and i'd the rest the same just with a 99 wing and add on 99 side skirts as well
dammit...i haven't even finished this build and i'm already planning the next one...i hate you Nataphen

wont be for another month or so, thats the right way to finish the paint, let the clear cure for about a month, then wet sand and buff it
total body work for the whole car was close to $7500ish but i did a lot of custom work and i didn't really cheap out on anything
thats not what i paid because a lot of if was sponsored work since the car will have the body shops name on it
plus i shaved all the rear wiper holes, the rear sprayer nozzle, and the antenna

^ Untill you make the cooling ducts, they are useless. You might as well remove them then put them back on once you make the cooling ducts. You need to remove them inorder to make the ducts fit onto the shields.
