Project finally done. Here's a few quick pics of the new body pieces, susp, etc..
 
See sig for complete list of mods. I'll probably try and get some better pics up soon. Some people had been asking about the status so I thought I'd at least get these up. Wind was blowing so bad when taking these pics, I couldn't put the top down for fear of filling my car with sand :)

Alright. Somebody tell me how to publish pics from another site. I thought I knew what I was doing. What am I doing wrong here?

Sloth Nov 16, 2004 09:30 AM

Looking good Andrew... and just in time for the gorgous FL winter. :cool:

does the wing go up and down?
Who makes that rear bumper?
I say paint the lip too :D

deputydog95 Nov 16, 2004 09:45 AM

Anziano makes the bumper and sells the wing.

Nope, the wing is fixed..which is okay with me. I don't like it down anyway. I was always trying to find a way to lock my stock one in the up position. The rear end of these cars really needs something on the back.

Don't like the painted lip look. Doesn't seem to flow right IMO. Looks like you painted a piece that wasn't supposed to be painted. Not to mention that the car is lowered and that lip would look like **** in about 3 months between the flying rocks and low driveways. At least the black hides it.

BTW, you can't see it in the pics...but the car is just covered in the clear bra stuff. I've got it everywhere. Used a combination of two different kits to get the most coverage (front bumper, what a ***** that was, hood, healights, mirrors, supports all around the windshield, behind the front and rear wheels, door sills, in front of the rear wheel, the door cups, the lower portion of the door, and finally the rockers. Looks really good. You can barely see it. If you live in the Tampa area and are looking to get it done, hit me with a pm. I've got a really good installer.

Hey Sloth... Can I be a member of the FLorida Speed Brigade now since my car looks like it's fast?

RobynC Nov 16, 2004 10:24 AM

Very HOT!!! Just love the black wheels on SY...! The whole car looks amazing.

dgray996 Nov 16, 2004 10:39 AM

Looks fantastic and very tastefully done! How do you like the 19's and what % window tint did you do?

deputydog95 Nov 16, 2004 10:44 AM

Love the 19's. They're fantastic. Don't let anybody talk you into 18's :) Cargraphic makes a great product. They ride fine. The car is a little stiffer with the suspension and wheels, but hey...it's a sport car for cryin' out loud.

The tint is 15%. I didn't want to go much darker than that. Makes it hard to see at night. I had a work car with double layered 5%. I had to roll down the windows and stick my head out the window when backing up at night.

WOW!!! That one of the best looking narrow body cabs i have seen. NIce job.

Andrew,

very well done. car looks classy.

deputydog95 Nov 16, 2004 10:51 AM

Thanks Erik. Not bad for a skinny cab. Tell Hershel I'll get him some pics. I promised him I'd send him some with the wheels after the bodywork was complete.

Big props to you guys on all your products. I love the wheels. The springs are fantastic. They ride great and give the car just the right look. Don't even get me started on the exhaust. I may be biased, but it seems to get better and better as it's breaking in. It's fantastic. What a difference in sound.

Erik: As long as you're browsing on here, what are you guys recommending for tires pressures on the 19's?
