glad to see you werent at fault the insurance companies can be a PITA sometimes

 

^haha i would say most of the time......

im heading over to the body shop right now for "day 2"

 

the body shop is called "twins autobody" in van nuys

really professional shop. i would recommend them to anyone in the area!

plus, the owner Medhi owns an RX7 FD!

TwinAutobody.com

 

Aw man that sucks... hope it gets sorted out soon!

 

updated Day 2 pics

 

Day 3
i didnt have time to go to the shop because i was hunting around for a Seibon TS hood, when i couldnt get one on the FS section. i ended up driving during rush hour to Walnut CA to pick one up for $500 new!

 

nice hood

 

thanks, cant wait to put it on.

anyways there was a delay, since the paint did not come in yet. they are still taking off the fender and bumper for prep.

Day 4

Day 5 Paint prep

 

Atleast you got some nice upgrades because of this
Do you know if that shop works well with fiberglass products?

 

im sure they are, because i had fiberglass side skirts and Medhi [owner] offered to fix them for free too, but i said no, just cut them up and throw them away. he really is good at paying attention to detail, but i didn't want to deal with fiberglass anymore, even though he offered to fix all the cracks and fitment issues.

 

You getting you trunk holes filled?? Dude I wanna do that. How much would that cost?

It looks good tho! Glad it's coming along great!

 

haha, yea, trunk and front bumper!

he did the trunk for free and the front bumper for an extra 150 since he is already doing the whole right side of the car!

cant wait to get the springs tomorrow too from TougePirate787

 

Can you see how it would cost to do my trunk an estimate?

So noobs where I used to work( next to a high school) ripped my Mazda emblem and rx8 off.

 

sure no problem!

 

Thanks my trunk looks like crap rightnow. I hate it. Lol

 

damn, that sucks!

anyways i was browsing the SoCal Lounge II and i saw your driveway!
how low are you?

 

Stock shocks on rsr's lol that's backs striaght up I usually go in at an angle. I hate my driveway.... Lol

 

It's like 1.8 in the front and like 1 in the back.

 

damn! thats scary!
how much of an incline is your driveway? because mine is about a 35% incline, so im kind of scared to lower mine. before, it used to be around 45-50% incline but my dad and i had to redo it because i would scrape even when i was stock

 

Yeah my parent got the driveway redone. I told them to make it less steep but they didn't tell the people who did it so it came out the same. Idk how much of an incline it is but it sucks. I even scraped when I was stock when my trunk was full. The city did our driveway.

 

I'll take a pic tommorrow when it's light out.

 

cool, cause TougePirate said the drop with the springs im picking up should be -1.5

 

Day 6

headed to Diamond Bar to pick up lowering springs from TougePirate787







the front bumper was still being painted
