Auto Exe. Finally Done***with pics of rear as requested***
 
Well after 2 months of parts being on back order etc. the kit is on and almost totally done. Still have a little touching up to do. We managed to retain the factory crash bar (for those who were questioning it) by trimming 1.5" of the kit from behind so it would clear. The bar will have to be painted black. Didn't have enough time to paint it b/c we had to leave for Nopi Nationals (took 2nd place in Mild class BTW). Modified Mag stopped by the booth and shot some pics and there should be a few pics in Super Street from the SS Tour as well.

Big thanks to Glenn at Motegi Racing for the rims, Matt and crew with BF Goodrich for new tires for the Eclipse (and the Mazda hint hint)and for getting them mounted up between drifting practice, Candi and Cam at Pettit Racing for the rotor and housing to prop the hood, Creative Classics for the body work and getting the car back together, Huff and all the people at Vivid Racing for helping get the kit here in one piece. You guys rock!

Is that yours? Very nice. :)

SHOWOFF 09-22-2004 11:58 AM

Yes it is. It's been in the shop for almost 2 months getting fixed and kitted.

Just got back from NOPI Nationals, those were taken in the Motegi Booth.

shelleys_man_06 09-22-2004 12:07 PM

How much did it set you back?

SHOWOFF 09-22-2004 12:30 PM

It was a combination of Sponsorship and Insurance money so I'm not really sure.

Jump120MPH 09-22-2004 02:46 PM

I love that rear bumper. Can You get some better pics of it?

SHOWOFF 09-22-2004 03:05 PM

Yeah, I will post tons more pics tonight. Yesterday I had just gotten home from NOPI.

Will the body kit be in production anytime soon? I'm interested in it.. : )

whosyourbaba 09-22-2004 11:28 PM

it is alrdy i believe. try vividracing or bulletproofautomotive.

SHOWOFF 09-23-2004 11:24 AM

We got this one from Vivid Racing. I think that there are only 4 kits that were made.

Is that the Autoexe trunk (boot) lid, or stock? I thought the Autoexe part had more of an overhang...

Looks really good tho. :cool:

Thanks.

Here are some much better pics to see the lines of the car. It is so hard to take good ones at shows. Sorry to be a picture whore!

Wow that looks really good. I love how you kept the stock hood. The only turn-off for me is the front bumper.

BlueEyes 09-29-2004 11:06 PM

looking sharp

beautiful looking car...Since I'm not a big fan of aftermarket spoilers or wings, I love that with this kit one is not needed. Some other aftermarket kits look "unfinished" without a rear spoiler/wing. Great job.

mikeb 09-30-2004 04:51 PM

great pics
I love that front bumper

Tamas 09-30-2004 05:55 PM

If I'd ever get a body kit for my car, this would be it.

shelleys_man_06 09-30-2004 10:12 PM

From certain angles, the front bumper looks like crap. I like this picture the most. :)

http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/...2738828540.jpg

Pictures don't do this thing justice. You know I'd drop my pants if I saw your car in person.

Mrs. SHOWOFF 10-02-2004 12:03 AM

Thanks guys! We are really happy with it. The first thing I thought when we were buying the car is that I wanted to get rid of the plastic on the back and widen the sharp 'nose' appearance on the front. The AutoExe is perfect for what I had in mind. Hmmm...perfect for a big front mount!
Good thing about the kit - regardless of people's opinions on the looks, all AutoExe body kits are areodynamic! But I still love the looks.
