My Shine Kit Pictures....unpainted
 
Ok Ive had the kit for about a week or so but today is the first day its been above 30 degrees and not raining so I finally got to shape it and put it on. The side markers fit in the kit (after some dremeling) but they still dont look right so I may just pay the shop for that one.

Anyways these pics are of the Shine Auto Project Autoexe replica front bumper, I installed it myself and it wasnt to difficult to do, spent about 2 hours (taking my dear sweet time). The front support bar that is supposed to be either removed or cut is still intake because the kit will fit without removing or cutting it with just a little bit of modification

looks good... let us know how much it ends up costing to paint

mscamp02 01-22-2009 03:59 PM

thanks and I will....Still have to put on the side skirts before painting though

fitment looks really good just a few minor imperfections.

Nopstnz8 01-22-2009 04:36 PM

Fitment looks a little better than mine. Nice job. Can't wait to see when you get it fitted perfectly.

pdxhak 01-22-2009 05:56 PM

Other than the hood, the fitment looks good.

zoom44 01-22-2009 05:59 PM

yeah that hood gap is ... uneven

TopGear8 01-22-2009 06:07 PM

Looks pretty good man. Just make sure you get some black mesh to fill the holes instead of the aluminum mesh everyone else gets. It'll look alot cleaner that way.

mscamp02 01-22-2009 06:44 PM

I know the hood looks bad but thats because Ive only got 2 bolts on the bottom 2 on each fender and none on the top, only the little nub that comes off of the frame holding it in place so the hood gap with bolts in comes out alot better.....still not perfect though.

Yea I think I might go for that now that you mention it. Do you know a good site to get some from?

mscamp02 01-22-2009 08:55 PM

lol thanks for posting em here directly and I will...Gonna try and talk to someone tomorrow about the fitment

DOMINION 01-23-2009 07:05 AM

He's not in SoCal. Look at his cardomain account info top left page;Location: morehead, Kentucky.
lol

mscamp02 01-23-2009 08:46 AM

Nope no where near socal lol

mscamp02 01-23-2009 11:56 AM

Ok I just got quoted for paint for about 300 dollars for the front bumper and the sideskirts

Atilla 01-23-2009 12:01 PM

whoops! :banghead:

i was asking if you were in socal because Ken (the guy that usually runs the shop) tips his buyers off to his buddy at a body shop that is familiar w/working on any fitment issues -

congrats on the quote! can't wait to see it finished :yesnod:

Renesis07 01-23-2009 01:06 PM

Does that 300 dollars include getting the fitment fixed?

mscamp02 01-23-2009 07:49 PM

yeah he said he would get it as best as possible

Renesis07 01-23-2009 08:40 PM

It should look badass if the fix the gaps. The hood then around the passenger headlight is pretty off.

I think itll look great once painted though, congrats.

mscamp02 01-23-2009 10:18 PM

thanks....car goes into the shop monday......said it may take up to friday because of several other people in front of me but will post new pics soon
