Bondo, plastic spoons, primer, glossy black paint, clear-coat and hours and hours of sanding.

Thanks for the compliment BTW

The Shinka editions come with that. You CAN buy them separately but they're crazy expensive. (Like $260 if I remember right)

I suggest looking toward the Shinka owners and buy it off them. .... or a totaled one.

yeah i know they do, but from the looks of it i doubt they will fit cause im pretty sure they're different shapes, the r3s are not as rounded..............i think ill just go with sanding it and painting it, thanks though

kane and rodjon, any more insight into HOW you did it? Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard, but I wouldn't want to just go start sanding and painting like a mad man either.

Maybe I should do mine in winning blue...
