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.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.

      That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php

      Apologies if I sounded like a arse My point was that you will not be able to buy a rotisserie that suits your car, you get the rotisserie frame, and then fabricate parts to mount the rotisserie frame to the body The rotisserie side is easy, but the fabrication of the actual mounts is the tricky part, where to mount so you don't bend/twist the body, plus the geometry involved to get it to turn  If your capable at fabrication, and can work out where the C/L is in relation to the weight is so it actually can turn, you should be sweet I would love to see the progress on this just for the thought processes and fabrication
