I got the Ichibia swap for $300 bucks for the whole set of 4, So I jumped on that when I could, and I had already bought 4 lug drilled and slotted rotors and a set of spacers so I have to get rid of those and then I'm picking up drilled and slotted s14 rotors cause I can keep my stock calipers

You sure you want to mold the kit? If you scrape hard being so low you're going to get some serious damage and be pissed about paint chips and cracks. But hey do what you want; Just reminding ya! Nice looking build. Did you do all the body work yourself? I'm getting ready to do that this winter for a week long project! Do you semi-gloss any of your work to see your body lines?

Not molding the kit to the body, just the to the body curve, I knew it was gonna bring up confusion haha people have been calling me out on it on the other forums too haha, so yeah its just molded like to the body curve now that its on. I did all the body work myself, wasnt too hard but it does take a while and patience so keep that in mind, semi glossed to see imperfections then circle in pencil, fixed and did over again, like i said time and patience and your set, i appreciate the lookout on the body kit haha, take it easy man

So is it a coincidence that you painted the engine with the EXACT same color scheme as CA18Magic's rb20?

haha, i'm glad to have helped! Looks legit, i glossed my gold though, but the matte gold looks sick too.

Dude quit HATING! Who gives a s*** if its the same color as ca18Magic's! What are you 5? You worrying about if someone copycats someone else???? I think if ca18Magic had a problem with it he would have said something... Come on dude, just look through his build, and if you dont like it, go look at another one!
