Back together again (56k good luck)
Thursday, July 13, 2006 3:32 PM
Well I just got my car back today; last time I drove it was June 24, so I missed it a lot. I still have some tweaking to do with the front bumper as you can see... any ideas on how you fixed yours or what might work best are VERY much appreciated. On to the pictures!




















The one thing I wasn't happy with was that the crack in my windshield grew. A lot. It was previously about 6 inches long, and as you can see, it's not quite that short anymore.






Sorry for the blurriness in a few of the pics. Camera was on autofocus.

I also have some C5 Corvette exhaust tips on the way. I forget who, but someone on here suggested them, and I'm gonna try it out.

i hate the exhaust and the door pieces, but you already said you're workin on those. other than that, get some eyelids like double a ron suggested. looks good otherwise.

your front bumper doenst seem to fit that good in the middle. i would try and shim it a lil, and the paint color looks off on the kit too. but i love the front and back bumper, the new exhaust tips are gonna look amazing, iveseen it done like that.

I live about 35 or so miles from Lafayette. TRU was the closest place for me to go for my car needs.

I can see the exhaust working with different maybe smaller and closer together tips. Overall I see some fitment issues, but it looks pretty good.

i dont like the really noticable gap between your hood and the front bumper. i actually like the look of the exhaust, but is there really a need for it like that?? it just looks a little overdone to me, but to each his own....and yah, the paint on the kit looks like it doesnt quite match.

I guess it looks ok, but i would ask for my money back.

The color is off, The front bumper isnt good, the door trim, and the exhaust is , well, i wont go into it.

But get a turbo and a nice big intercooler and the front will look way better.

paint definitely is off, and not really feeling the exhaust, but if you like then right on man

Koni's and Ground Controls will be purchased from a fellow JBO member as soon as my PayPal is verified. My dad and I are brainstorming a few ideas to fix the front gap, and the new tips are in the mail.

So Jason, Have you dropped the car yet? Cause that pic with the soda can made it seem really low, and now you are going to put some coilovers on it too. Will you be able to drive it anywhere? My boyfriend had a friend that had that bumper and man, it was a more of a pain in the butt than most front bumpers are suppose to be when trying to drive to places. As for you car... I love the concept that you are trying to go for but, like everyone elese has said, exhaust is a little bit too much! Side skirts do need to change.

no, the car's not dropped yet. Part of the reason the front is so low is because the bumper is sagging a bit. Once I get it pulled back up and secured, I should have about another inch of clearance. The purpose if getting the coilovers is so I can fiddle around with the drop to find a good-looking stance that isn't going to chew up my bumpers. Thanks for the concern!
