I paid approx $2500 including delivery

this included:
front +30mm fenders
rear +30mm overfenders + fuel door extension
fc2000 front bar + acyrlic headlight covers
spec RE side skirts
spec RE rear diffuser - carbon fiber
JRX wangan wing

Very happy with the quality, worth the extra dollars

Will be getting a sexy style hood for it next.

WOW! this project really picked up steam since last I checked. I need to refinish my dash and what you've done is perfect. Did you completely strip the dash or did you just put an overlay on top of the original?

I ask because the gauge hood has bubbled all to hell and I'm looking to just get a peice of leather cut to shape to cover that area (can't be bothered to pull the whole dash again just yet)

The trimmer used sandpaper like substance with an orbital to pretty much take the factory covering off, the new cover was pieced together and stitched into the dash.

At least you picked a good color. Maroon. Same as my car. But i like what you did to the interier. Looks good. i want to see all the switches mounted.. Not sure what they are for. But they look cool.

Thanks for the comments guys, going to respray it again a little bit down the track, just a tiny bit darker, probably just a new clear coat with some tint. The switches are for interior LEDS, amp remote power wire, windscreen demister and 1 spare for now, but still have heaps of **** to wire in, When i officially sort out what I'm doing for a motor, I'll be adding s hks camp 2 to display all the vitals on a lcd mounted to the CF center piece, got a list a mile long that needs to be done, just time and money, at the moment I'm moving house, 1400km south, just another headache. :P

Oh i forgot to mention, in regard to the switches, I was looking at the S13 CF center consols / armrests, if the dimensions are close I might cut one of those down to suit, the stock one i dont think will be able to be retrimmed to the standard I want due to all the coin holders and **** on the inside. So switches will just be flush mounted to whatever I end up with.

Obviously handbrake is on the wrong side etc, but im sure there's something out there which is close to what I want

You obviously didn't read :P

These are just sitting under there to give me an idea on sizing, they are not going on the car.
Having seen how much room there still is, I've decided on running 19"wheels and will work out the rubber later. The lowest I can legally go in Australia is 100mm, those pics are not even close to low.

Why don't the rear overfenders go to the tail lights and the door? Is this custom or normal with Shine? All other overfenders I have seen so far go all the way, looks cleaner IMO. Great work on the rest though. Hope you don't make it to Australian with the 19" chrome rims...

It's just how shine do them, works fine for me since I'll be molding them in.

OK. Yeah, might be even easier to mold in. Good luck!

Lets get back to it !

Been ordering a bunch of gear this week, **** all of it turned up though, what I was really waiting on was shelving and a bench from unirack, so I could finally arrange the garage and rumpus and put things in their permanent place. So it's a bit of a mess at the moment.

This week I hope to have the car up on stands, interior and bay stripped and the whole undercarriage dropped. Few things I'm not happy with, so going back and having a better crack at it.

Work in progress
