What color are you having it painted? Two tone?

had this dilemma for months till i saw someones fortune kit covered in all red (pic attached) . Two tone seems to stand out better than single color, im most likely going with white and black as it will save me having to paint the engine bay, this project has ended up costing a little more than expected =_=

Looks ghetto.

is that candy apple red?? Your wheels look AMAZING, riverside is a great company that not to many people know about. I hear ya though, i went from wanting just a front bumper to front bumper, fenders, hood, side skirts, rear bumper and wheels....if only it wasnt an expensive hobby...sigh.

i know what you mean, one thing keeps leading to another. i promised my gf i would stop mucking around with cars after i had finished my s15 project but after seeing the fortune kit i felt like a little boy again and couldnt resist >.< , whats worst is that i sold a perfectly good 2001 s15 just to pay for fibre glass...sighs, ive attached a pic of the ex wife i traded in for veilsides fibreglass

lip is 16 cms deep, to answer your question i have a small hand and a small dick hence i need to buy a fortune kit to make up for lost e-peen @_@

Saten 04-04-07 11:35 PM

Wow, you need some giant brakes to match everything.

DomFD3S 04-05-07 09:11 AM

That is quite a lot of lip! OMG!

mirabile 04-05-07 09:34 AM

Gonna look good. Best of luck.

wptrx7 04-05-07 10:37 AM

Still my opinion you should go with a different two tone other than the some color and black.

Of course every color is not going to work.

dstrbdsht 04-07-07 09:13 PM

Nice choice of Wheels. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. It's too bad you had to sell that S15 but your going to love rolling around in that Fortune when it's done.

luiml73 04-07-07 09:20 PM

Now all you need is a PP 4 Rotor:D

thanks, before i purchased the kit i did think it would be awesome cruising around in it but now that the money has been spent ive started getting a bad case of paranoia, i have thoughts of people following me home to see where i live in hopes of stealing it, than i get thoughts of skaties asking me to spin it up and kicking my car in when i refuse, not to mention i cant park it anywhere cause the width of the car will take up one and a half car spaces and reckless people parked next to me will likely open the door smashing it into the side of my kit (as happened many time before)

by the way do you have a link where i can dl more pics of the red veilside rx7 as shown on your avartar?

Callsign_Vega 04-08-07 12:56 PM

Xeroes, I look forward to your constant updates on the project. I myself plan to buy this kit down the road after all of the performance work is done. I think white and black will look sweet, minus any stickers of course. As for parking, you do not park a car like this anywhere near other people. You put it out at the very back of the parking lot where no one parks and under a street light. I would also invest in a top of the line alarm.

omochi 04-08-07 01:12 PM

no drift no drag
no money for gas either

i like that plate. lol :)

dstrbdsht 04-08-07 01:17 PM

I had that same case of paranoia at first. But then really, what is the point of doing all this work if you can't get out and enjoy it. Just make sure you park it in a secure alarmed garage with a good vehicle alarm. I drive my car at least one or two days a week. It is not going to be a car you will want to drive somewhere and leave it unattended. When I park in a parking lot, say if I had to run into a store, and park at an angle across two spaces away from other vehicles. If I am going out to a restaurant, I go to one where I can park the car and observe. You would be surprised at how careful people are getting out of their car next to one of these. Sent you a PM were you can find pictures of my car.

xeroes 04-09-07 02:39 AM

your right and thanks for the advice =)
I have to say your two tone red and black looks too nice! and your s15 is pretty hot too, lol funny how we owned the same 2 cars

dstrbdsht 04-09-07 11:31 AM

I had the car painted that same red, before the conversion. Black was just a natural match for the red and I have seen these cars in all one color and it just isn't the same. Mine was even all red briefly because of a mix up at the body shop and I still have pictures of that. The kit just lends itself to a two color paint job.
My two favorite cars, FD and S15. Really sucks you had to sell yours. My S15 is track only.

USCmatt 04-09-07 04:53 PM

Not sure how many of you have seen this, but here's a black and white fortune kit

man i really wish i didnt see your red/black paint job, you've officially put me back to where i was a month ago, spending hours infront of each pic deciding what color to paint it again lol .
Red/black and Silver/black have been the best color schemes ive seen, i thought about doing metallic blue with black but my s15 was blue so decided to go with white/black as it looks half decent and saves me painting my engine bay,
But damn i cant stop looking at your red/black , its tooooo nice ! >.<

dstrbdsht 04-10-07 10:51 AM

It was an easy decision for me, red always being my favorite color on a sports car. The car started off as an R2 vintage red. I repainted it to its current Red in 2001. Then when I went with the veilside kit I kept the same red, just adding black. I also like the silver & black. That metallic blue with black may not be a bad choice. See if you can find someone good with photoshop to do some samples for you.

dstrbdsht 04-10-07 10:53 AM

I forgot, watch out for the wiring harness under the left fender. Make sure you secure it up out of the way so your tires don't make contact with it.

VeilSideBrian 04-11-07 11:36 AM

I would really like to see a single color Fortune RX7.
A nice Ferrari red would make it amazing in my opinion.
I've seen a nice bright red Fortune NSX and I think it is the nicest one yet.

At any rate, I look forward to seeing this progress.

Gouki7 04-11-07 12:37 PM

kit looks crazy and welcome to the forum veilsidebrian ;D

VeilSideBrian 04-11-07 12:52 PM

Hey Jack, thanks.

Callsign_Vega 04-11-07 03:05 PM

Brian, you have anything to do with the company?

VeilSideBrian 04-11-07 03:35 PM

Yeah, I have something to do with the company. :)


p.s. DSTRBDSHT - I haven't seen your car yet. PM me some pictures please. :)

thanks for the heads up =)
i also found someone with a blue/black fortune kit . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--dYYvvtMXE

altho the complete kit is only visible in the first few secs i had a good idea what it will look like and my gf says your red/black still looks better =)

TwilightRotary 04-11-07 08:16 PM

i gotta say i really like that blue/black one.

dstrbdsht 04-12-07 09:27 PM

Finally was able to look at that video. I like the color combination, the blue & black looks good on it. Not a fan of what he did to the inside of that one though.
