Just updated my pics. Am still waiting for a few things before I paint it though. Should be next weekend. The bumpers and wing are not mounted. I just set the wing on the trunk, and is a little off. hehe Tell me what you think of the sideskirts. I am also doing a color change. I want to keep it silver, but maybe a little darker. ANY IDEAS!?!? Thanks guys.

Audi TT grey (dark silver?)... I thought that would look good.
or BMW silver would be a nice, subtle touch

Thanks. The sides only look good molded into the car. Just my opinion.

Damn, that looks nice. I think painting the car gunmetal would give the car a mean look. Might as well paint it something different since your paying for it.

That is what I was thinking. If you go to speedoptions.com and look at the featured skyline, that is the color I am thinking about doing.

Jotan, that is exactly what I had in mind before I saw the Skyline at speedoptions. I am stuck between the 2, but since you helped me get sponsored, I will go that color just for YOU!! I just need to go order the paint, order my cf wing, and have the bodywork finished. Then shortly after that, order my Bride Racing seats and new wheels. I may get Volks depending on the price my sponsor can give me!

What kit is that? I like it, but that back does look unevenly made, the right side is higher than the left.

I took the pic crooked, and my coilovers need adjusted. I haven't had a chance to do that yet though. It's the kit that Importfan.com prototyped on my car.

do it now, before you paint your car, to add the fender flares... it'll be bad a$$

Fender flares are a no go. My GF brought up a good point. I don't have the $$ right now, and I have brand new wheels and tires on the way already. I am just gonna focus now on the interior, and the motor. ;)

yota, it's off topic, but you know what the guy that imporfan sponsors (u as well, no??) with the yellow MR-2 is asking?? its up on ebay but he doesn't name a price http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1842433631

the bottom part on the back looks a little thin. Do you think it'll break off if you bump it or hit it? it looks really fragile in the back. watchu think about the back?

wow! the front and the sides actually look very nice..if i still had my celica, i wouldnt mind having that kit...but...i 'm not feeling the back either, its seem to detract from the front and side..the front and sides look clean and smooth but the rear looks too wild and out of place..

Tommy works for them. Not sure what he is asking. Call and find out. (909)468-9600

I like the rear, but not so sure with the rest of the kit. I may switch it up later. They did prototype it on my car though, and it was free. Can't beat that. Thanks for the comments.
