Ugh ok:


1. Tow truck drivers jesus, I think I have had more problems with tow truck drivers doing stupid **** than almost every other type of thing combined and thats alot lol.

2. Tow hooks looked good where they were, I say were because now where are they ? 2b. You are a BRAVE man trusting those tow hooks first time out to a vertical pull heh, snap crash ugh, careful!

3. Gas door looks nice, just dont almost drop that cap on the paint again douche heheh.

4. Stick with the Bt this car deserves a true 2 rotor nice setup so it can be supposed original and still basically be an FC.

Hooks are still where they are. I won't be touching them until after the upholstery shop is done.

Honestly, I was worried about using the tow hooks for the first time. I was inside the car with my hand on the ebrake the whole time it was being pulled up onto the truck. I also slowly rolled the car off the truck with the ebrake.

HAHAHAHA! That was my 2nd take after veering the camera off the gas door while unscrewing the cap. I thought about redoing it again after tapping the gas door with the cap. But I figured no one would notice that.... Guess I was wrong, eh?

Probably will. I have people offering to buy my 20b already. Not sure if I want to part with it though.

Ooh Ooh let me answer.

Rotordude:

1. Widebody 1k
2. Wheels 3k
3. paint/body work 7k
4. misc accessories 2k that I have seen if not more
5. interior / top work 3k including seats
6. motor/ecu etc 6k this time lolz

that puts us around the 22k mark not counting the shell.

im gonna say your well undeer on most of that.

1. i wanted one of these kits, ~$2500 shipped i think
2. counting shipping again they were well near 4k
3. The car was in the shop for months, paint and paint work alone is prolly 5k, with the body work im going for 8-9k
4. its hard to say so ill agree.
5. ill go with this, once we havent seen the extent of the project
6. same as 4&5
7. ill add that there are expensive parts you havent counted. (tires 2k)
8. Hood 1k
9. fuel door, tow hooks, roll bar, etc ~1k

Basically, it would cost less to travel back in time and buy a brand new one...

It doesn't matter which one you want to build. If you want to do it right and not cut corners with ebay specials & knockoffs it will cost more than you think.

Actually no. I don't have a Mastercard. An Amex a Discover and 2 Visa's got my back though.

Part of Juiceh's fun in this is posting the pictures, its called pride in your work, work you paid for, work you designed etc, so asking him to let you photoshop rims on his car is kind of an insult, fyi.

Not sure where all the misinformation is coming from about the bodykit (could it be the peanut gallery? ) so I will clarify.
Bodykits are only available through me since I designed them and am the only one with the molds. Each kit is made on a per order basis.
$2300 + shipping.
$1000 deposit to get the ball rolling and then $1300 + shipping due upon completion.

Sorry for the plug Juice

So far there are two cars with it installed. A 20b powered FC racecar ruuning around in SoCal and Juices. There was another kit shipped but I don't have any updates on that one. Customer was serving in Iraq when the kit was sent out.
