Yeah, I was just testing the black bonnet to see how it would look. I don't think it needs it.

I already have the black/chrome lip SSRs ordered. Clear indicators are done.

Same front bar and similar sideskirts.

Will get a TRD wing (similar to that) and then a nice rear to finish off.

If I get bored with red then I'll do a full respray later on. Fitment/spray of just the kit will only be like $1000 or so.

Sounds like a plan :kiss:

I think I like it better than black on black.

Red with black wheels and polished lip = Nice!

Instead of creating another "what panel shop" thread, I'll ask here...

Where should I go to get the kit fitted and sprayed?

First priority is quick turnaround, because I need the car to get to work.

Should I trust DT Panels? :kiss: lawl.

dont man, get a respray based on quality

most companies can do a proper paintjob and fitment.... but it will cost

from what ive heard DT's does cheapish jobs for most people, if you spend the extra youll get a better job (yet i dunno 100% cause they arnt who i go to)

edit: and jezza dont get a quick job, make sure its done properly or expect to pay twice when it f**ks up a few years down the track

Try bayside autostyling. Think they are also cheap and from their project pictures it looks good. Go check them out. If you want a PROPER paintjob and bodykit fitment go see Sam at PAC.

I heard reallyyyy bad things about them, from a guy that used to work there and quit because of the way they treated the cars.

Apparently they just rip off door trims, chuck them on the ground etc....

And other people have told me that they did burnouts in the cars.

I dunno whether it's all true, but I guess they can't do much harm when fitting a kit.

They charge $1500 for a full respray (colour change) so bodykit fitment must be cheap as chips.

haha yea you said cheap so i suggested them, i wouldnt take my car to them lol. But seriously get a quote from Sam at PAC

what's wrong with the supra?

It's for sale. I have a maxed out credit card and $197 left in my bank account after wheel money is put aside.

And rego is coming up soon lol..

So basically I won't be spraying anything until the Supra is gone :kiss:

Niggaroj got quoted 10k by micolour for his r33 in the standard r33 black. now that woulod be quality

you'd be mad to do that unless its a fk off show car nobody needs a 10k paint job on a daily car. Especially when the car is worth 10k at best

is everything ready to go and have you got cash money ready to pay now? might ask our painter if he can fit in a job before we shut up shop.

1 day for dropoff/dismantling, 2 days for prep (if you're using fibreglass cos that shit never lines up), 1 day for paint, 1 day to reassemble. drop it off monday you'll have it on friday.

We're not cheap though.

I don't... we have a guy that does paint and panel at the shop, Shane. It's all he gets paid to do. He's currently finishing off all the outstanding jobs atm... including CR34M :kiss:

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
