Got my car back from the shop yesterday. It was in there for 7 weeks but man was it worth it. If you remember the entire car was keyed. Add to that the front bumper was pretty much wrecked from 6 years of abuse and it had a million little dents and scratches all over the place. The shop took every single dent and scratch out and refinished the front bumper. They also installed 99 headlights and a 99 se grille. I have the maximum tuning front bumper that i wanted them to install but they said they couldn't. They said it didn't fit at all. I don't know if they just don't have experience with fiberglass bumpers or if it really doesn't fit. Either way I'm taking it back to the shop in brooklyn next thursday for them to do it so we'll see. They also installed and painted ionic designs side and rear valences. The car came out perfect and looks amazing!


Oh btw - my 18" chrome tsw revo's got jacked a few weeks back, so excuse the 15" rims until I can scrape up some cash for some new ones =)

looking good man........but one question.......is it just me or are your inner tails higher than your outer tails??? Its either that or the red isnt aligned properly. But otherwise, the sideskirts loook sweeeeeT, and on top of that mixxin it with the type S bumper definitely different from the rest of the crowd -

Did you get teh Type S front? We need to have another Brooklyn, Queens, and LI meet to check your car out.

 

he got it, but its not on his car yet - he said he's gonna make another attempt at installing it at some other place.

 

those rims suck

 

You are the sunshine of our lives.

 

One question for you: 'Why?'

I mean they are small, most likely very light. He probably prefers performance over looks. I bet his ride is smoother than someone with 18s or 19s.

Sorry for venting but you really didn't give any reasons why you think they 'suck'.

CKNY dont like them either........he put them on cause his 18's were stolen : )

 

haha *****... i actually have them on for performance!!

 

because Chris is my very good friend and i like busting his chops..

 

what's the difference between a 99 SE grille and a regular 97+ ??

 

ill be totally honest, I hate the IONIC kit!! its wayy to square looking compared to the stillen. Anyways glad to see your car is back with fresh paint, thats all i need now

I think your car is lookin sweet. I know someone trying to find 15's right now if your looking to unload em. Keep up the good work. 7 weeks in the shop.....man, must have been ROUGH not havin the car. You said they fixed the front bumper..what do you think they did, I need work on mine, I have a big friggen gouge on it.. but am probably just going to slap a new oem one on.

 

they resanded the whole bumper and refilled everything... looks brand new.

 

i like the stillen... i like it a touch more than the ionic but I don't like it $200 more! That said i seriously like the look of the ionic.

 

good for you man, Im in 7 weeks now too. but they said there gonna spray my car on tuesday, so Im hoping for friday. sucks about your rims, soon as I heard that I put mine in my bed room
cant wait to see your car at the next meet
