I think the point here has been missed. Sure you can do it cheaper yourself but there is no way the job you do will be anywhere near the quality of Louies. What you get with him is genuine top quality work at a good price. Comparing Louie to a home job is an insult to him.

As for:

It's aggressive and uncalled for. Keep it to yourself or warnings will be handed out.

i think you missed the point here. im comparing his work to every other paint job ive had on my cars. as sam916 said, $350 for a front bar respray with a lip in WHITE is a bit pricey. white is the easiest colour to work with, so i gave my opinion. we do still believe in freedom of speech dont we?

as for my comment, someone called me a tightass over nothing. i didnt like it so i made it clear that i didnt like it. im not a little bitch that will take shit from people and say/do anything about it. and if you want to give me a warning over that then do it. ill see it as a constant reminder as to how stupid sau moderators can be sometimes.

Joe there are smarter ways to get your point across without coming across so rude mate, people might be more accepting of your views and points if it was laid out as a discussion and not as an argument. People are not always going to see eye to eye. I'm lazy and would rather pay some one else to do the work on my car than to do it myself, thats my angle it. You would rather spend money on tools that would allow you to do the work yourself not just for the one thing but for more projects you have in the future and to also expand your abilities when it comes to working your car, and thats awesome too.

So if some one rubs you the wrong, how about you explain your point of view next time instead of jumping on the defensive straight away.

And if there was a warning, it might be a good idea to take that as a chance to reflect on your actions not the actions of the moderators.

I personally have 2 different shades of white on my car thanks to the job done by a very reputable panel shop. I've seen it on other white cars too.

It wouldn't have happened if Louie painted it, I can guarantee you that.

im not rude to anyone who isnt rude to me first mate.

calling me aggressive isnt a smart thing to do when im not being aggressive in the first place. i was making it clear that i dont want to be talked to that way. adam saw it as aggressive and was wrong. call me a name to my face and ill say exactly the same thing.

just like mods give warnings. why cant i give social warnings myself? i dont see that as being aggressive at all. would you rather i grabbed the old baseball bat and went down to his house? thats not how things are done :)

Joe you are being agressive. Keep it up and I'm happy to ban you. This is not a democracy with free speech it is Prank's kingdom and the admins and mods are bitches that do his bidding. If you don't like it start www.joesskylinekingdom.com and set your own rules there.

everyone is seeing this in whatever light they want to like its some kind of drama.

i wasnt being aggressive, ive got better things to do than pick fights with people on the internet.

ive got a problem with mods seeing someone call me a tightass and expect me to sit around like a loser.

its time for you guys to get over it.

hi to all.... good to see the location of the new shop is getting known on skyline australia. if anyone wishes to come for a quote dont hesitate to give me a call to make an appointment.

For those who are worrying about colour matching have no fear louie is hear.

They way i read it... Anthony was more aggressive to begin with.. although he has a point, his demeanor was definitely more aggressive.

Anyhooo.. i wonder what Louie would charge for a front end respray....

Roughly how much would it be to spray metallic black front, rear and side? Approx.?

best to give him a call and have a talk to him yourself. if its a kit from jetspeed or carmate expect ot be paying more as more work goes into getting a quality finish.

also note that if you are after a bodykit have a talk to him and see what he'll be able to do.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
