I don't understand why everyone gets a wing like that... 90% of them are NOT gonna Roadrace. Waste in my opinion but the rest of the car looks good

Hey, the wing is phat. That looks a lot like my car, except a lot higher and full kit (not a lip). Nice car.

Looks pretty sweet. Very clean! Love the Blitz front, though I woulda gone with different sideskirts and rear valence. But still looking damn sharp! Keep it up!

I am liking the whole setup with the exception of the side skirts. I had the same front and rear before I got my custom kit started. I personally like it with RMM side skirts. That would look really good. IMHO Can anyone photoshop that pic with RMM sides instead of the other ones? That way you can all see what I mean.

hey, I'm on my second kit, im catchin up!...IMHO I think blitz kits only look nice on Supras for which they were made. I've seen a few blitz celicas around and expect to see a lot more (FNF fever) At any rate the car looks clean. Good job, bro..

Tagurit....Most if not all of the carbon fiber parts for our cars and other street cars are not actually all carbon. They are usually mostly fiberglass with a few layers of carbon on the outside. So...If it is not for the carbon appearance then it is pretty much a waste. It just adds to the race car look. They may still be a little lighter than the stock parts, but not like all carbon.

Welps..

I suppose if you're going for that look..it's well done.

I stay away from bodykits like that..simply because they're in one year..and then out the next.

I've seen a few Civics running around with that same style kit..and for the life of me..I can't figure out WHY there's a huge TRIANGULAR shaped wedge on that bumper.

I like a nice clean ride that you'd be able to take your girl out to a nice restaurant without getting stared at like you were straight outta the FnF.

Just my taste though...props to you for all the work put into it.

Hint: Turn your front wheels whenever you take a profile shot..it looks badazz...and shows off your rims better.

Hey man, sweet set up! I love those rimz, I was just lookin at them in a mag today wishing I had them. I also like the wing, I know most people don't approve, but hey man whatever floats your boat! Keep up the good werk n try to fill wheel gapz a lil. <IMG SRC="http://www.newcelica.org/ubb/smilies/cwm4.gif" border=0>

Just curious regaurding the painted Carbon Fiber - Does the paint just go on like fiberglass? and also Doesn't the paint weigh a good amount + clear coat? So painting it would just be adding weight, somewhat defeating the whole purpose right?

Any pictures of a painted fiberglass hood?

Painting CF is prety much a matter of priming it and painting it. Depending on the amount of porosity in the material sometimes it takes a little filler to get it nice and smooth. Regarding the weight, I don't know numbers or anything but it does add a surprising amount of weight. I do bodywork for the prototype sports car team I work for. When we get a new nose from the composite shop it is really light for its size. After it gets back from the painter it is verry noticably heavier.
