My 03 Sb touring is in the body shop getting a little makeover seibon cf oem hood, styleking front lip, ings half kit spoiler, nismo rears, some fresh SB paint.

i already have piaa Super rozzas, some simple brake mods and some other little things.

updated pics this weekend!

this is how she sits now(minus my new brakes)

I decided it would be more fun to not go see her until the job is complete, its only been one day and the suspense sucks

MORE ON NEXT PAGE!


NEW PIC UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good Luck brutha... I have a feeling things will flow nicely. In for pix!

 

wow, sounds fun. how much is all that gunna cost you?

 

I now how that feels, good luck!

 

$950 in labor, my buddy owns the body shop. parts $200 for the ings spoiler used, $200 for the rears(already painted) $150 for the lip, hood was $280.

so about $1780... which is pretty good considering thats what any other body shop would have charged just for paint

oh , by the way. its not the whole car getting painted. just the new parts, front and rear bumpers. that was a little unclear.

Here is a pic of what i did with my brakes::: ceramic pads , d/s rotors and a coat of black ceramic paint. and my dirty wheel :::

 

hey that caliper looks really cool

 

I down for some pics when the job is done. I think it's gonna look great. good luck man.

 

that looks awesome! hows that nismo sticker gonna hold up? or is it painted?

 

Awesome man, car looks real clean.

 

Are the calipers Nismo? I didn't know that they made calipers.....

 

haha nope , just had some fun with the stock calipers. i wanted brembos but decided it wasnt worth it since i dont race the car... the "nismo" decal is holding up nice, they have been done for about a month and i have had no problems. if they peel off im going to put new ones on then a coat of a high heat clear...

 

oooooh i hate to be the bearer of bad news but u better hope alot of people don't see that comment about the brakes or prepare to be flamed. lol

 

word from the body sho is that i should have her back by thursday

 

flame me all you want lol, i have seen nismo emblems on peoples hatch, headlight, etc...nismo doesnt make those parts do they? i have the S-Tune exhaust, so im allowed to have nismo somewhere ... it would be different if i put brembo stickers on there, that would be stupid.....

 

Ya, dont let the folks flame ya, they look good man. Im not one for showing off the stock calipers...but black with the nismo looks good man.

 

yeah , i figured if its going to be there i might as well make it look a little better..

 

i still dont understand why anyone ever buys a oem style cf hood.

 

haha i know what you mean. i did it because i had severe rock chips on my oem and i got the seibon for $280 locally in new condition.. kinda cant beat that....it would have been the same to repaint mine . i held both hoods and there was really no weight difference.. so i guess its just street cred haha i would never have paid full price for one when there are much more badass hoods out there.

 

Tomorrow is D-day

 

lol @ nismo brakes.
