9k racing. they're pretty hard to contact as of late so hopefully you can get one. i've had friends trying to buy from them and they won't return my calls or others.

i am selling this aluminum hood, vent, and aerocatch style carbon hood pins currently if you're interested.

First shop car out the door! Body Work/Paint fired out by me over the course of a few weeks to prep it for Battle of The Imports!
Enjoy!

Funny you say that because they update their facebook every 30 seconds...you think they would take the time and relay some messages to whoever handles the business side of things

THIS! it really weirds me out. alot of people contact me for vent pricing, and shift *****, and when i try to ask them for quotes to kinda bring everyone together (since their site is MIA) they never get back to me.

it really bummed me out when i had my 13, and i was trying to buy a roof wing, and dmax hood and never heard from them...

no one wants to buy my carbon 30mm front fenders so i think i'm going to cut them apart and screw with making them 45mm or 50mm wide. i'm bored, broke, and need to get crackin'.

i'm so sick of 30mm fenders, and this **** looks cool along with helping get more front clearance so i can lower my car again

the bottom of the front of the fender is cut for my bash bar. if you have any style after market body kit - this will be hidden when the bumper is on*

I'd like to get $300 +shipping for them ready to be painted. I'll prime them (also could paint them for a slightly higher price ($100-$150) depending on color so they're just a "bolt up and go" kind of deal.

New they retail for $999 + Shipping. If you have aero, and still want to consider them hit me up!


Here's how they look with Aero.



Here's how they look without the bumper, or sideskirts on.

did you come out??


some minimal updates:
There hasn't been anything worth posting going about until today (still nothing exciting)


I'm modifying my carbon front fenders into 45mm (or 55mm depending on how far i widen the LCA) BN Blister style fenders.

I'm also making Metal Headlight Vents on the side if anyone wants some. I need to get $60 per light cover. If anyone's interested PM me.


grabbed a Series 5 shell from my friend for putting in work. this is the donor car for my metal widebody quarter panels which if it goes well, i'll be removing and welding onto my track car.


Swooped the hatch glass immediately for my car lol


gotta finish up a few jobs tomorrow, and i'll have better photos of actual work getting done since i had to jet out and grab the shell today.

Headlight covers look like they could be pretty cool. What happened to your car at Forrest's shop? When you say "Widen" the LCA are you talking about bringing it out to facilitate more negative camber? I was thinking of slotting my coilover to get more. Do you think thats a bad idea? oh and by the by; How are the Stance coils treating you?

The head light cover is going to be the same as the last one i had just gotta make more.

yes.


My 3000GT VR4 street car had slotted K-Sport coils and they were pretty good.
My S13 had Kei Office coils that were slotted too. my FC stance coils aren't slotted though - and i don't want to drill into them.


The stance coils are good. so much better. i should've grabbed my 6k springs off my Kei Office coils before i sold my s13. the FC has 7k rear springs and although it's a step better from my last coils, theyre still not as grippy feeling as my friends 6k JIC's that i got to try out.

i found one thing stock suspension is good for. finally....

leaving your car on rotors without crushing the gas tank!


welcome to project creedle bomber.

i decided against cutting it apart since i can get a title for it. it's going to be a black'd out BN version of my track car but for street duties. it's chillin' until i get my track car sorted for this season though.

there's still nothing cool going on in here. i'm lame. no monies is no bueno.

I've got a pair of 6k tein springs if you're interested. They're the front springs that come on Tein Flex

were you ever into the ABC's at all? i really liked the rears (not so much the fronts)

everyone said they hated them too! lol i didn't like the RPF1's much either. i sold them with my street car 13. i demolished one at Irwindale when i borrowed a pair from Forrest so i gave him $1500 for the set of 5 and that brand new ApexI GT-Spec FD Exhaust.


i want a set of TE's for the rear of the red car. first i need money though. i keep blowing all my monies on tools and stupid paint ****....

I always liked the Dish of the ABCs but I never liked the wheel style itself. I like the style of the TEs, but they don't really have any dish. I think your car would look good with a compromise of both, aka, the gram lights 57 maximum.

it's really funny of all the wheels to pick, you posted the ones i was just looking at 2 nights ago thinking would be rad as **** on my car. lol

then i saw the price. $1100 per wheel is too baller for me even if i had the cash i wouldnt drop it on them i dont think. the burnt TI lip 57 maximums are sick.

another wheel i like are the 57D's in the luminous pink. (and i hate highlighter colored wheels) theyre pretty cheap though surprisingly.

The Gramlights 57 are a good wheel for a good price but none of the colors would look good on your car. Red and white isn't a good combo, Red and yellow makes you look like you have a McDonalds sponsorship, and Red and Pink are to hot toned colors that don't hae enough contrast to look good. I like the chrome/silver look of the the rpf1s you had, but again those wheels have no dish.
