Q-Ball Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yeah 400 for the kit sucked, But it was a one shot deal. Plus that canadian dollars too. The kit is going on this weekend.

I already have my batteries charging My car will look nice from the outside, but it still wont perform like your 160 hp beast My 140 hp can only do so much. Im doing exterior first. Just to make it look nice and sporty. (Even though 140hp is amazing) Than I'll move on swap to a black interior somehow. And in the middle of the swap, I'll get my struts done.

slick Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 gold on tan doesn't look too bad either On your car, it doesn't look too shabby. But I don't think it could work on anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will personally look bad with a black kit. It will be like that for a while. I cant afford to repaint the car right now. I have credit cards to pay off.

CSI_MuNkY Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 If he paints the parts and then puts them on they will match, the car was just painted red a few months ago... I think the black on red won't look bad, it will just look like a 2-tone, but that blue hood throws it way off, lol... As nice as the hood will look, right now it just doesn't look right at the moment. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 If he paints the parts and then puts them on they will match, the car was just painted red a few months ago... he's got fresh paint still.... really no scratches on it. It looks like a quicky paintjob, but with a little wetsanding I'm sure it would look great. I dunno why not just paint the pieces pics: http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,40291.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espically with all you bastards bad mouthing my car. But I do want to add metal flake to my car like Jamie says. And that paint isnt cheap!

CSI_MuNkY Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Ohhh SNAP there there Jason... Its your car do as you please... Hes not impatient guys, he just really has no where to store a spare body kit and a half. They will probably end up getting scrapped if no one speaks up for them. Not all of us have an abundance of space to keep all our shit... In fact some of us have girlfriends or parents that won't threaten to throw out our stuff, they will just do it. BTW Jason, adding metalflake will be an expensive thing, but well worth it, especailly when you consider what your paying your uncle to do it. An old friend of mine did it to his truck and it looked phenominal. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 paint 1st, then install......... please.... paint it all first, then install it. i have a blue IROC hood for my camaro, but its not going on till its painted to match the car. even paint that dosen't quite match looks a ton better then black/ blue pannels on a red car. patience pays off.

Q-Ball Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well, as for the hood, that was the only way I could transport it. Take my old one off, and put the new one on. My good hood is still in Windsor... 2 hours away from London And I cant just paint the kit, I have to prep my car. Drill holes so the kit can go on. If you noticed, I dont have any holes around the flares. My uncle only has saturday to work on this with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 You should go to that place I told you to go for paint this Saturday at some point and get prices and codes for the paints you want or need. Maybe you can afford to get it done sooner than you thought with that new job of yours, maybe your car only has to be black and blue for a week or so. I think they are only open till noon so maybe call ahead, I could be wrong I'm calling that contact you gave me about my car this morning!! I could have my car back within the next week and a half NO MORE LTC!! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSI_MuNkY Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 What he is saying is his uncle is doing it for him, and his uncle is a busy man, he happens to be available saturday so thats when its getting done Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 cool...but why does everyone hate tan interiors on here??? j/w I like Black on Tan, red on tan, and white on tan. I think those are about the only colors that look good on a tan interior. But, the tan interior HAS to have some different colors in it to break up the tan-ness of it. i liked how the tan interior looked in my dark green cutlass...everyone always commented how they liked everything except the interior...oh well, to each his own... and $400 does seem kinda high for that kit...but @ least u found 1....

z34_nut Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 You couldn't haggle AND they didn't want to part it out...WTF type of yard is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 You couldn't haggle AND they didn't want to part it out...WTF type of yard is this? Normally they are good. This is the first time I had any problems with them. Well as for an update, I just pulled off my rear bumper. What a pain. The 94-96's come off a lot easier I'd take a pic, but my sister took my camera for camping Basicaly it just has that plastic piece over the rebar. And minus 2 back tires.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 What's involved removing/installing the rear bumper? I'm just wondering cause theres a bit of rust I need to get at... Are there any stupid plastic clips that can break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 What's involved removing/installing the rear bumper? I'm just wondering cause theres a bit of rust I need to get at... Are there any stupid plastic clips that can break? There is always clips. But they are re usable. They are all under the rear bumper. As for screws and bolts, just pop the trunk, and there will be 2 on the right side where your antenna is. And only 1 on the left side where the gas tank is. Its a lot easier if you have both rear tires off because than you get to the other bolt and nuts through the wheel well. Take off your splash guards and get those nuts off. Careful, they might break. I broke a few, but you can replace them with another bolt and nut. Mine has to come off too, because I want to use the newwer rebar. Mine has some rust, and I want to get it all cleaned up and put some POR-15 on it. My car has to be prepped for body work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
