Xeryon Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 she's going to tell you to buy something other then brembos if she really likes this new product you dolt if you want cheaper several people on here use ground control and i think preston uses road magnet springs. me personally, i wouldn't use megan racing springs, or any 'generic' springs for that matter.

SpeedDemon Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 got my cheap oem lip on and the mudflaps from mine. the passenger side flap doesnt like up really well. so ill have to redo it. rear flaps go on after the new panels are welded in new lip, had to rig it on there. was cheap and crooked. ill get a new one after some time here was my first attempt at painting a valve cover. i didnt like it so i stripped it back down and ill redo it tomorrow. im thinking polished aluminum or chrome(just to hang on my wall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 dude you should totally just rattle can spray that thing for the time being. and drop it. it would look so much better. on another note, lip looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 haha thanks. it wasnt bad for $30 im saving right now to get all of my paint paid for plus labor. i refuse to rattle can it. i hate matte colors, i love gloss. after that it will get dropped with a tokico blue hp kit and either paint the rims i have or get a set of meshies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 well, umm, don't look now but d-series has an excellent multi-page diy thread on replacing rusted rear quarters with about 100 pictures and step by step instructions on his eg hatch. you might want to read that before you begin.

airjordan223 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 needs moar low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 lol yes. low is in the near future. gonna go with a 1.8" drop front and 1.7" to 1.9" rear with lowering springs. that way it will settle to around 2" drop so about those centercaps, how much would you charge to fab some up?

airjordan223 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Well they would be custom 1 off pieces so probably around $100,000 It would be hard to make them without having the wheel here because I would need to take precise measurements and test the first one to make sure it would fit properly. Also would need to make sure they wouldnt fly off when you got your paul walker on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
