It looked like it was going to be tough, but after staring at it for a long time we found a good way to do it. Had to shave down some spots, had to cut out the top mount and then put an aluminum bracket/ mount instead of the fg mount that was there. Nothin we couldnt handle though hehe.


Anyways, car is outta the booth. Gonna spray my fender caps, mouldings, sunroof, sideskirts, scoop, and gt wing today and assemble it all on thurs! Cant wait to take finished pics lol..


The car looks grey because the white was blinding the camera so the cam picked it up darker. Its actually realllly bright. Ill take better pics with a dslr when its all done hehe.

Sooo.. still need to wrap things up on this, but here it is.

I still need to find a good way to mount up the s5 sideskirts on an s4. I also need to install my canards. I also need to reinstall my cage. I also need to find foglights that fit my bumper. I'll probably be doing all this after I come back from Japan.

I left the wing ends of the garage bb wing in class.. so they arent on right now lol. I'll be putting them on today. Im most happy about how my fenders turned out. I cut them AFTER painting lol but they came out awesome. Now all I need is a diffuser..

im not putting anything on the rears. Ill just roll them when I need to. I was going for the odula/supernow/re amemiya set up with the wide fronts and normal rears. I dont plan on putting something bigger than 9.5 in the rear so I should be good.

Yeah diffuser will be the first thing I do after my trip. As for deep dish wheels, I made this as a car I could use on the track so I won't put any wheels that are not forged, which throws out 3/4 of the deep dish wheels out there. I also want light wheels for going fast! haha.

I agree. The sideskirts are sitting in the trunk, I just need to find a good way to mount them. They are the oem s5 skirts... but I have an s4. Any ideas? Tried double sided tape. I can mount the rear part but the front cap thing doesnt have any holes to mount to.
