yeah if the painter is an idiot.

its the kit is prepped correctly, it'll stock better than OEM.

And who told you that?.... Dude,..Loops car was in SEMA for goodness sake. I don't think his car would have made it through the door if the paint was falling off

well obviously it wouldnt have been in SEMA if the paint was chipping off....but yeah surman told me his painter had to go through a couple extra steps(which means more money) to prep it right compared to his stillin one.... because the ED kit has a very smooth surface compared to stillins, which means primer and paint has a harder time sticking to its surface...

WOW!! this car came out extremely amazing. props to you loop, and to all the contributors to this project, they did a great job on it.

question on the fenders...are they flared of any sort, or are they basically like the OEM fenders with vents in them. i would like to know, because i want to know if the wheels i want to get will stick much further from the fender.

also, what do you plan to do to fix the rear height of the car? i think its time for a coilover setup?

From what I remember, it's somewhat actually the opposite. It is not very smooth, but more of a grainy feel.

Thanks.

The ED fenders are basically OEM, but they are modified a little. I had them cut the fenders.

Coilovers will come in time. Waiting for other companies to come out with them.

Prices will be going up even more after Feb for Volks, Advan/Yokohama, Arc, Gramlights, Project mu, etc.. or I can just say whatever Mackin Industries carries.
