Would look better if your bumper was painted, and you had the rest of the kit.

 

i agree and you need a grille of some sort doesnt look that good with the front wide open.

 

isnt that kinda bad for the radiator not having anything to gaurd it from crap on the road??

 

oh god this isnt a Honda, get that kit painted.

 

yea hurry up and get it painted dj, and put a grill on the front too.

 

hahaha! I'm still waiting for a few pieces...

 

get it paint, what front bumper is it btw? looks like mine. haha

 

very nice, just paint it! at least put a little grill on your front bumper.

 

originally, I was gonna repaint the entire car with darker gray to match the cf parts but since I didn't like the quality of the cf fender that I bought; I returned them this afternoon and decided to just paint thebumper and repair the dent on the fender.
I'm still looking for a thicker honeycomb mesh for the front. I have the honey comb mesh on the side vents but those are to flimsy to be used on a larger area.
btw, the bumper is made by Tsunami.

 

yeah its like one of those moderately hot girls, then she smiles.. flashing some nice gums at you.
then she goes from moderately hot to oh my god what sewage drain did you crawl out of?!?!

 

sweet cars in the driveway.

that trunk is sexy as hell. i just wish there was a 3rd brake light. i wonder how hard it would be to fab a mount for one.

 

mastergrades vented hood???? i needs infos!

 

hey DJ, wheres your signature pic taken? thats not the alameda naval base is it?

 

Thanks! if you wanna retain the 3rd brake light, you can always get a strip of red LED's and mount it inside the rear window (somewhere on top)




it's still being drafted right now. I donated my stock hood when I picked up the trunk from Mastergrade. I've talked to boomer about some Ideas but I wouldn't really know until the design is finalized; you can contact mastergrade directly or CarbonLTD from this forum if you have any suggestions on how you would want the hood to look like.

 

no, this one's right outside the Travis air museum.

 

ahhh ic so is your hood a custom hood to your liking or is it another group buy? just curious. again thanks for the info

 

no, that hood is a VIS OEM copy. I bought it for $350 while I was in Socal so I can donate my hood to Mastergrade.

 

na im talking about the 1 ur getting from mastergrade

 

I see. yeah, it's custom but it's still up to mastergrade on how they will design the hood. Although they are taking customer input, they still have the final say on how the product is gonna look. I've seen their other products and I like how they look. One thing that I specifically requested is to get rid of the dip in the middle of the hood and put a slight hump instead (same shape). Not sure if it will make it in the final draft but I sure hope so 'cause I'm getting sick of watching a pool of water swish from left to right as I drive in the morning

 

cant wait for pix

 

I'll post 'em as soon as I get it... I added some pix of the trunk for now

 

the trunk came out nice!

 

lookin' good
