Here are some pics of what I've done so far. I won't be updating for a few months because tomorrow I am leaving for Kuwait. I do suspect that next time I come home there should be another pile of parts awaiting my arrival and I will be posting more updates. Regretfully I do not have any pics from before I put on the spoiler.

The Carbon Dolphin aeroform bumper has not been installed yet, I am still waiting for it. It will get put on next time I come home, and these are the wheels that I am hoping to put on next time I come home. I haven't completely decided yet due to the fact that they are $1300 each. But they will probobly find there way to my car.

Good job dude, I like everything but the evo wing, but I'm sure that it'll look better once you get your kit on. I wish I had those TEIN dampers. How much did you pay for those?

Car is looking great! What type of Teins are those?

surycdrol
09-11-2008, 02:50 PM
Thanks a lot guys. The Teins are the super street with the pillow balls and the EFDC. I don't remember the exact price but I think they were around $1500.

I am actually thinking about taking the wing off, but I am going to wait until I do the rest of the kit and see what looks better before I put the Carbon trunk on.

Those specific Wheels are big bucks and it sucks. They are custom, made to order, hand built. I haven't yet found a way to get a lower price, but I am working on it.

Bumper will go on when I come back to the states in April along with a pile of other parts I have been accumulating while I have been gone. I will post pics as soon as it goes on. The fenders I think I got on ebay. They do fit pretty well but the door moldings don't line up completely with the vents, so I think I will be removing them. (moldings that is)Thanks for the input guys.

Cali made it. I dont remember exactly but it was around 1000. I don't think he is going to be making anymore in carbon.

Those are F1 fenders. There are a bunch of places you can get them.

I haven't really decided on color yet. But I do like black. Maybe a burnt orange or copper.

gotdammit, that bumper IS porn! holy shit the motherfucker can wrap anything! lol looks great so far, i hope you do end up debadging the ass and removing the evo wing. it would fit the personality of that car so much more once the rims and bumper are on. great start though. glad to see it not riced out like some of the poor representatives here. keep it up.

Cali can actually make that bumper again if anyone wants one. He has the mold already, so if you want it go ahead and buy one from him.

surycdrol
12-27-2008, 03:53 PM
He does have the mold. You can ask him to make one but he told me there would be no more due to all the problems that there were with this one.

I like the black, it will look nice with the black wheels, that system is nice.

Lose the stickers. You lose HP.

Not feeling the wing.

Props on the Teins w/ the digital dampening adjustments.

That CF bumper...dont EVAR drive on that daily. Only for shows. If you crack it or bottom out once...trust me. You'll die of a heart attack.

Shits a one of a kind CALI™ item.

Hell, i'd come there and smack you in the head.

Oh yes. I agree completely. Daily drive on the cf bumper=never. All that crap on the trunk and rear windshield is coming off, I'm just going to wait until the cf trunk shows up to decide about the spoiler.

Correct, this bumper is a full CF piece.
