i saw that tutorial on changing colour so i thought id make my own one of fitting bodykits.

1] Open up your picture of a car WITH a bodykit that you want to fit on another car or a front bar/side skirt/rear bar/etc that you want.

2] Use the polygonal lasso tool to go around the part that you want.

3] Press CTRL+C to copy the selected piece and then open your picture you want the bar to go on and press CTRL+P to paste it into the picture.

4] Now you have to distort/rotate/scale the image to make it fit onto your image. Go to Edit > Transform > Rotate/Distort/Scale (choose one of them) and now pull and pinch the piece into shape and fit it over the picture.

**Note: ** It varies from car to car on how the piece will fit. If the pictures are at the same angle and view then it will be easy to fit than if it werent. This example project is a very easy front bar to fit because of the angles the cars are on.

5] Once it is fitted over, you will need to re-colour the front bar. Sometimes if you just re-colour the front bar it still wont look correct so you need to re-colour the whole car to a new colour or a similiar one to make it look perfected. Use the other tutorial by that other guy (i cant remember his name) to do this.

Do this with other bodykit parts and you will have a car with a whole new bodykit. Fit on wheels/spoiler/and recolour it to get it looking perfected.

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
