Looks EXCELLENT. I love it. It does so much for the car but it still very subtle.That's what the 3rd gen should have looked like from the factory.

We tried using 3m tape but it didnt want to stick so we went with screws for now. Side Skirts are on with rivets.

eventually I will re do it and make it look sick, but it goes with the flat black paint for now, it looks like its getting ready for a Twisted Metal tournament.

When im ready i am going to paint it competition white.

Do any of these mods come with mounting bracket so you don't have any screws? I like the look of a kit like this but I'm not a fan of the rivets? Is there any reason why you cant mount it to the back of the part?

No offense to anyone but I'd trust Rivets or Screws well over tape, tape was never meant to be permanent.

MMM...a turbo VG Max is my unicorn right now.

I'll get it but I have to find the EXACT Max I want...I'm not gonna settle.

Now with the kit, are you gonna remove the screws and fill the holes??

Don't you think you should have just been patient instead of just making more work for yourself??

Although I do love the look.

I dont ming the extra work, this kit is a very strange one to fit. so this keeps my car looking sick and industrial while i play around with some other ways of maing it permanent without the screws.

i would like to take off the kit and send it in to make a mold out of it. that would solve all the screws, and make it a direct bolt in for other 3rd gen owners. me and a buddy are also playing around with a few ides for our own custom R32 or R33 style front bumper fir the 3rd gens too.

paint is way far off right now seeing as i just bought a house.

but i love this car, and i got nothing but time. i would like to become a serious tuner for 3rd gens.

im working on the body kit, turbo kit, headers, catback, the works.

very soon my other company will come alive

be on the look out for RLA Tuning and all its new Raging Dragon line of products for 3rd gens
