All I need is a hood now, willing to get rid of yours? Just kidding, looking at some others out there, wish they made the one that looked like the evo for are car. Also looking at wide body fender flares for the sides. Bodyshop will have to custom modifly them but they should look great at the end. Hope to see some more cars like mine at the next evo meet. I have been wanting to go to one and I can never make it because either my car is down getting stuff done or I am working.

Looks sweet. Love the body kit, wheels, and exhaust. Looks like there is a gap between the front bumper and the hood. Can you fix that with some bondo and repaint?

Its just were there is no support in that area where the stock bumper was and this poly bumper is more flexible so it kind of stinks down right there. I am making a custom bracket to hold it up once I get a chance. It is actually hard to tell to me.

I don't think I will lower it because it already almost hits stuff around my area because of all the dips in the roads. I will upgrade to tein basics but will only lower it when at shows or at track.

The body shop put it on for me since they already had it there. The paint job is great, but there are acouple little bumps that stick up on the back bumper that they missed while sanding before paint, other then that the paint job itself is flawless and shiney as hell. It looks like it came factory with this kit. I wonder even with the two or three little minor imperfections if it could win a show with this paint job. I have seen some other show car paintjobs and some where great and some that won were hack jobs. I guess it all depends. Still looking for a hood. Thinking maybe the topsecert replica by seibon. Either that or I might go with another by them. Thanks for all the comments and great support and hope to have my next project done soon. I wish I could have made it to mid-detail day but work comes first to pay off my new TV I just bought for the apartment.

Thats how it is in the import world, once you get something and think you are the only one that has it, suddenly 10 people jump out of the wood work with the same thing. I am trying to figure away to make this kit alittle different then the others by making it a widebody later. I am also trying to find the perfect hood which I think Mike already has. I didn't want to copy anyone, just love the kit since it came out and wanted it on my car no matter if 50 people had it. Thing is if he changes what he has now, someone will go and get the samething he buys next time. So far my wheels and exhaust is different. I respect Mike's car alot and thank him for showing me what it looked like on a SS Z. I should have just bought it when it first came out but wanted to see what other kits would turn out like. I don't think I will get the Ings wing for sure through. Looking into either data systems or ings half wing. Blitz wing also looks pretty nice.
