Probably ~$250-300. They go new for 350+ and I've put only a couple hundred miles on this setup so that seems like a more than reasonable price range to me. When I pull it from the car I'll let you know.

I can't fool some of you guys!


Filmed 3-17-2008:<object height="355" width="425">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/84IhBqDE-R8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425">

Was filmed in High Def but obviously YouTube ***** that all up. This is the kit being test fitted. The hood is NOT fully shut in the video. I need a new latch. I stopped by the shop the following day and they were working on the front driver side fender, they had just finished fitting the passenger side with the front bumper. I didn't take any pics that day but I am gonna try to stop by there tomorrow and grab some more pics.

The door molding still needs to be deleted along with the molding on the front and rear bumpers. The vents need to be cut out still, antenna shaved, gas door installed and fill tube extended. The front bumper needs to be trimmed up a bit. Lots of work left to be done.

The kit did not originally fit as well as it does in the video now. Here is what initial fitment looked like:







The bad weather has subsided for a while so the shop isn't so busy with the collision work that the snow brings. They have been working on my car every day this week. I should have some more pics & footage this weekend.





Here is a little preview of something I'm cookin up:

That's what the Tein flex coilovers are for.

OK might be a dumb question but can you open the trunk with that wing on it?

Yes. The part of the wing that looks like it is attached to the sides of the car are actually not attached. The 2 legs in the middle of the trunk(which you cannot see in the video) are where the wing mounts. The sides have rubber gaskets attached to the bottom so that they will sit flush with the body and not vibrate. The driver side area actually has a hole for the antenna to come up through. If the antenna is up then you cannot open the trunk then. I will be shaving the antenna so that will never be a problem. I'm debating shaving that hole in the wing and reshaping it so it looks like the other side. But since that wing is so extremely rare I think I may just end up leaving it as is.


I am about to head over to the body shop right now. I'll take more pics and video.

Glad to see that the kit is working out.

On my end, I still have not heard a damn word.
I think he is ignoring me.

Driver side molding deleted. Some front bumper molding deleted. Driver side vent cut out.

Check out the gap between the driver door and front fender. Perfect!

What spoiler is that? I thought you had the Tamon Design one but that looks like the old Racing Beat...

Bodywork looks perfect BTW and you can't rush perfection, right?
