whoa.. that looks really nice! If I wasn't planning a silvia front, I'd want to do exactly the same as that.

hey.. are you going to be able to make it to the Galesburg, IL NICO meet this summer? August 10th and 11th.. I'd love to see your car in person... and meet you of course.

Man... looking nice!!! I think you should leave it alone. Paint will crack as soon as you hold it up. That thing is so flexible, so I'll leave it as it is.

Check my car for Silvia Aero side skirts and rear valences. It's the way to go.

pretty simple,

mine was warped from being in the box, so i heated it up on the areas that were bad, and it just straightened back out.

then i test fitted it, and placed two screws up front, then worked my way around, pulling and dropping screws in as needed.

of course i put them in places that you cant see.

the sticky tape didnt work for crap for me.i even used adhesion promoter and cleaned the areas with 90% rubbing alcohol

Hmm, I'll have to look into adding a few more screws, too. Only some of my tape stuck - I have a slight gap between body and lip on the sides.

The Xenon-provided screws rust eventually, by the way.

Hi vroom-chirp,

I was looking through your cardomain site and noticed that you removed the door pillars. I already read the faq on how to do this. It just looks like you somehow managed to remove the rear hump from the rear interior panel. If you look at ishkabibble's sig, you'll notice this hump. I was just wondering how you managed to do this?

Thanks.

Vroom, Is there any way you could take some pics of where you screwed your lip onto the bumper? I've never installed body kits or anything like this and yours looks great so I thought I would ask for your help. My Xenon lip is still on the floor in my guest room and it would really be nice if I could install it this weekend. Thanks for any help you can send my way.
