The Monster within.....UNLEASHED!!!
 
I thought I would share with you guys.....

This is the kit that I was trying to setup for a group buy but no one wanted in.....Oh well:dunno:

But anyway got the wing, rear bumper, hood and front bumper on the car I am going to try to get the side skirts on the car by the end of next week........

I still have a lot of little tweaks and quirks I want to work out....but it is coming along nicely

Let me know what you guys think.......

need new rims.

just don't do what that other guy did and buy the 16" automatic rims...

BluMonstrRX8 06-10-2007 06:34 PM

LOL^ Give me yours!

By the way I will be painting it all WINNING BLUE except the hood of course!

MazdaJeff 06-10-2007 06:41 PM

Looks pretty goods. Very agressive.

mysql101 06-10-2007 07:06 PM

The hood looks good, the body kit should too when it's painted, but the mesh on the front bumper doesn't do it for me. I'll reserve judgment for when I see it on the 23rd though.

NgoRX8 06-10-2007 07:21 PM

i hope you haven't been driving around like that...white front, black rear, white spoiler, blue car?

the fitment looks ok in these small pics, but the front bumper seems to flare forward when looking at the wheel well. i don't know, it just might be my eyes cuz of the high contrast of the white bumper. will wait to see when it's painted.

BluMonstrRX8 06-10-2007 07:42 PM

Oh yes I have been driving around!!!!!......Don't forget the CF hood as well in the mix....it is flaring to much in the front becasue of my K&N Air filter is in the way....I am working on a work around....

BluMonstrRX8 06-10-2007 09:02 PM

kersh4w 06-10-2007 09:16 PM

that looks hot the way it is.

dont get it painted, you'll ruin the multi-color hotness.

snipaz2420 06-10-2007 09:24 PM

It aligns with my intercooler perfectly so I would say it is about the same height as those with an App. Package.

Those without an app package I would say max 2-3 inches

I am going to rock the panda look\ Shark whale feel for a while I like all the people looking at me like WTF!!!! They hear the BOV and go WTH?!?!?!, then they see the flames and that just seals the deal for me.

I will have it painted by the end of the month......maybe a blue cammo paint job...;)

Dont worry guys I was being sarcastic.

d j 06-10-2007 09:56 PM

is the rear made of polyurethane?

Red_X8 06-10-2007 10:15 PM

New rims and tint needed.

YayAreaBruh21 06-11-2007 01:52 AM

is that the fitment and everything straight out of the shipping box? or is that out from the body shop already? if thats out the box that is very nice. I may have to consider..

+1 Random CF panels always seem to look cheap and ricey.

BluMonstrRX8 06-11-2007 09:31 AM

The rear is urethane

I have been trying to get rims but VarneyMazda seems to have been on the down low. I Really wanted his GT-7 rims but anyway I can wait no big deal there will be other rims available. As for tint, it is in the very near future as well as Tinting the the tails, headlights, side markers car and etc...

Fitment as follows it is mostly out of the box but those of you that do your own body work will know how easy/difficult it is to body work. The Wing had minor drilling that had to be done to make it perfect....probably 2-3 hrs worth of work.

The rear bumper was one complete piece...as in there were no holes or slots for anything, such as the licsense plate light hole, holes to hold the plate and of course the mounting slots. I would say there was 4-5 hrs worth of work on the rear bumper but on a difficulty scale of 1-10 I would only say a 4. Carving and drilling was needed so not to bad. Fitment on the rear bumper was EXCELLENT!!! easy to fit and mount, urethane is very pliable which makes it easier to work with.

The front bumper is fiberglass......what a bitch.....very stiff and difficult to work with I needed to carve out the side markers and now I have to refiberglass it to make it look good. Right now I am hoping that having it on the car and driving around will help relax and loosen the front bumper a lil bit. I had to remove the oem mounting bracket and redrill the aftermarket one to use the oem brackets. I then removed the side marker guides where the piece would typically snap to because of the way the mold was created for this particular piece. All in all the front bumper still requires more work....I am having some friends that have done this more to help out with perfecting fitment, patience and ahrd work will bring this project together. On a scale of 1-10 for difficulty I would say about a 7.

Thanks for the comments


BTW this was completely done by myself and I have never done any body work before..LOL

unreal89 06-11-2007 11:10 AM

looks good, I think I know what I'm going to save up for next. Are you going to use the ings sides or MS? I wonder how street concept's rmagic kit fits...

BluMonstrRX8 06-11-2007 12:13 PM

ING sides....any recommendations I would follow is to get urethane if possible
