looking good!!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Sweet! The lips look good. I'm kind of neutral on the side skirts. Looking forward to seeing everything painted.

[lightsout]

please make sure you use the manufacturer recommended primer before you paint them...or they'll peal like mine did. The idiot who painted mine didn't prime them right

[tigersharkdude]

thanks for the comments.

and lightsout im just painting it satin black, with a rattle can. I want to know how its gonna hold up, before I fork out some $$$ to get it painted

[Coupeguy23]

[tigersharkdude]

you know those little groves that didnt fit around the spokes on the lower bumper, I just took a dremel tool and cut them a little until they fit.

[jltibbs]

Looks good Brad, now you just need to tuck some tire.

[tigersharkdude]

give me your bags and I will

[jltibbs]

$1500 and they're all yours. I'll even deliver them myself.

[tigersharkdude]

ill give you tree fiddy

[jltibbs]

Oh I have financing available, Brad. 0% interest, 100% down, 1 payment. Let me know when you're ready.

[lightsout]

satin isn't gonna look much different than they look now! If you wanna save $$ on painting them, just watch a few youtube video's and talk with your local paint shop about your options! Before you paint your skirts, practice on a piece of foam board or shinny poster board to adjust the paint gun perfectly! Painting is easy, if you've got a steady hand and move smoothly! Dang, if i were closer i'd bring all my tools over and teach ya...buuuut i'm not .

on second thought it may not be cheaper b/c you have to buy at least 1qt of paint, the reducer, hardener, filter, air tank, vapor trap, and tarp(to tarp the garage off).....naaaa just get it done, LMAO...after all that

[tigersharkdude]

I wish I had the equipment to do it right, but i dont. So right now Im just rattle caning the kit. So far its turning out really good. Ive everything done, I just have to go get some clear. What kind of clear should i get. I was thinking about wheel clear since it is thick

[Kompresshun]

Yeah i'd use some wheel clear to help protect it from rock chips and ect.

That or I got some Satin clear from Lowes that I used on my grill when I painted it black, it came out pretty good as well. I painted it about 6 months ago and still no rock chips on it.

[sicivic89]

Looks good. Car is coming along great!

[tigersharkdude]

all right peeps the kit is done, and hopefully going on tomorrow. Anything i should watch out for on the install??

[jltibbs]

What are you using to mount it?

[tigersharkdude]

bolts, screws and tape. you got any advice for me. the right up for it SUCKS. Im gonna take a lot of pics of the install.

[tigersharkdude]

install bump

[jltibbs]

Get a pic with the sun behind you so we can actually see the kit, not glare.

[tigersharkdude]

it was 5 jeremiah. i will get some good pics tomorrow

[jltibbs]

You could have stood on the other side of the car. Looks great bro, from what I can see.

[tigersharkdude]

i have my reasons why the pic sucks. no excuse can cover for that crappy pic. tomorrow i will post up good pics. I will clean the car, before hand, partially the reason the pic was from that side and not the other

[jltibbs]

Ah, ok. A cover up. Can't wait to see the pics.

[tigersharkdude]

ill get a pic from the other side, to show you why there are no pics of the passenger side

[tigersharkdude]

better pic bump
