Damn, the undershroud was ripped up pretty bad. It was completely dragging and there was literally only 2 bolts holding it on.

Progress so far:
-Removed caliper stickers
-Sanded down the door switch panel
-Cleaned the wheels
-Purchased CF sides (if anyone in SoCal is interested in buying the second set PM me!)
-Pulled out the old fender liner and installed the new one
-Pulled out drivers side seat, reupholstering it saturday
-Measured out the CF Sides (cutting & installing them saturday)

Making some pretty decent progress on this vacation.

 

Decided not to go with the universal sides, I think the chargespeed would look better so I'm gonna pick those up soon hopefully. After I washed my car nice and good I noticed some cracking on the hatch so since I already have a dent, there's those cracks, and my spoiler needs to be painted I'm gonna just get it all done at once. My bodyshop lady wasn't in today but hopefully I can track her down next week and get some work done.

Also, I'm debating getting a tail light tint and a black roof overlay. I think it'd look really good if I tinted my windows and got the light/roof tint but I'm kind on the fence about it. Very few cars can pull it off.

Here's some pics of how she sits now.

 

^You have my vote on everything but the tail light tint

car looks great btw

 

Coming along nice. I say no to tail light tint as well. Black roof would look good. Chargespeed sides will look good as well!

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input.

Yesterday my dad was at the bodyshop getting his car repaired (he's getting ready to sell his mustang ) and he talked to her about the cracking. She actually repainted the hatch once before because it was having the same problem and since it as her work she's willing to fix the spidercracks and all that for free, so saturday I'm going in for my quote which shouldn't be too much, but since the whole drivers side needs to be painted I might end up just repainting the whole car. We shall see!

 

you should think about doing your mirrors black since you did the handles it makes a HUGE difference! just a suggestion

 

CF Mirror covers are definitely on the to-do list!
The bodyshop quoted me $2400 to repaint my entire car, which includes fixing any body imperfections, and painting my spoiler. I think it's a pretty good deal. She's offering me a full paint job for $1,800 as well but I'm going with the more expensive one cuz it's more coats and it'll look a lot better.

Also, the DEPO lights were driving my OCD crazy. I hate the chrome on them and the gloss black stands so I'm getting my lights redone in full satin black, w/ an iron man mod and doing the sti-r lense as well.

I won't have many updates until I have enough for the paint job so I guess that's all for now.

 

What's up drummergirl. Remember me from the other forums?
Anyways car is looking good and I thought about getting the same spoiler as yours but in cf. The spoiler doesn't effect the emblem? The ones I saw you have to take off the emblem.

 

^ Yeah, dude what happened to the other forum? o-o

Anyways, when it comes to the emblem you can keep it, but it'll basically be touching the spoiler. I've seen some people keep the emblem, however it kinda looks weird since it's so close. It's all just a preference. Also, I don't think they make a full CF one. I could be wrong but when I bought mine it was either FRP or the half carbon (the one I got) no full carbon.

 

whats up zcar peeps

 

What up chad

 

enjoying the snow storm.. have not heard from you on the former site in awhile... how you been?

Maybe we should start a thread.. former zcar peeps?

 

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Since the site exploded it seems like we had to scatter. xD

 

just made a thread

 

Where at? I'm still don't know everything about this site yet.

sorry drummer for taking your thread for a bit

 

The chrome on the depo lights were bugging me so I got custom lights done in satin black paint w/ iron man mod and the sti-r lense. I got lucky and found a local guy here who does them for fair prices. I believe he's on the forum if anyone wants his contact info, anyways, here's pics of the lights. Can't wait to get them installed on my car.

 

Nice thread and progress!

 

Thanks king!

I picked up a plenum for a steal since I wanted to polish it for my engine bay. Gonna be working on it slowly during the week (can't find the palm grinder so it might take a while, lol) but even after a few hours it's already smoothed down significantly.

 

nice ride drummer girl!
