Hey guys just bought my bodykit and wondering if anoyone knows a good place to get it fitted and sprayed? It needs a little bit of prep work.

Need somewhere that does a reasonable job for an good price. I know that you get what you pay for.... but still.... :)

yep its procoat ... if you're after something really cheap ... but isn't oo bad ... then he is good ... this is how cheap he is ... mind you i've used him a few times myself and plus i've referred alot of people to him so he gives me mates rates i guess ...

but anyways i cracked my front bumper ... not a small crack ... but a big one ... fixed it .. painted ... paint wasn't too bad either, fitted again, the fitting wasn't too bad, wasnt' that good either, if there was one thing that wasn't good about his work its the fitting, but anyways he repainted a small area of the back bumper which had paint cracks due to an accident ... so all up 250 bucks LOL :) Admitted his paint work isn't the best, but hey for the money he charged, theres no way he could be beaten ... he also did for a mate a respray just the outer paint, and fixed alot of dents here and there, and also a big dent on the side ... all up 1k i think or there abouts ...

just remember to remind him to not leave the windows down when he works on the car else it'll get dirty lol

Remember and listen very carefully.

You get what you pay for ESPECIALLY when it comes to paint work. I cannot stress that enough.

If you worship your car and pick every little new chip and stress about it then spend the $$ on a good job.

Ask your self if you really want the paint on the body kit to have more orange peel and look different than the body paint?

Cheap paint work can and will have a slightly different colour (some times a white wash to it), orange peel and visible sanding marks under the paint due to lack of care and time on the prep work.

      Fuel Flow Regulator Hose Restrictors

      To do the ones around the fuel tank, as in the external ones, you'll likely want a hoist, and to drop the tank. That's the way I'd do them again anyway.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Is the 650rpm idle on the rb25det neo for stock cars only? I've never had my car before and after tuning it to idle at 650rpm when cold. Always idle's cold around 1100rpm, and then drops to about 900-950rpm. I've heard the r33 gtst's idle there.
