how much did u pay for ur smx grille back then
also ... how much didu pay for the paint job and was the fitting snug or was it loose ... did u have to sand it a bit ??? and stillen also told me to glaze the meshing with some kind of spray ... would tha b a good idea?? so it doesnt rust

 

I think I paid 130 for it. I had a body put it on and paint it when I had my wreck. Otherwise, it would have costed around $50 to paint. It didn't have to be sanded because its polyurethane, just like the body kit. It fits really well, is very snug. It fits like factory. I coated the mesh with a layer of engine clear coat.

 

some kind of glaze??? im thinkin about paintin the mesh black because my car is a darker colour ...
whut do u tink

 

I would just have the body shop that paints the grill paint it black and clear coat it. Thats what I did at first, but now I replaced it with rain gutter gaurd to match my mesh grill inserts in the bumper.

 

keep the grill silver. it makes the smx grill stand out better. (i've done both)

 

Okay, dude, I think that sig pic *might* be a hair big. Check it to see if it's under 50k please.

 

Bill,
I've been working on making my car faster w/o having to buy a v2.

Lighter wheels is my first choice.

But I've been thinking of a new fly wheel. How is yours holding up? How many miles do you have on fly wheel? Notice any abnormal wear & tear on either the clutch or the fly wheel itself?

Also, what brand and how much$? Do you know how much it weights?
I know there's two or three brands out there. Any thoughts?
Would you buy yours again?

thanks man.
Ming

 

I have about 14k miles on my flywheel. I went with the Mueller fabricators/Stillen flywheel because I didn't feel comfortable with the other manufacturer's out there. I haven't noticed any abnormal wear and tear on the flywheel or the clutch, except I installed my clutch disc backwards and now its going out abnormally. EricGP also has the same flywheel, but his clutch is in the correct way. The flywheel is about half the weight of the stock. I didn't get a chance to weigh them, but that thing is lite! I would definetly buy it again, and I would highly reccommend it to anyone that is replacing their clutch.
