And i actually layed the vinyl right across the vents, trimmed it, heated it up and then simply tucked it in up under the dash, and then cut out the vents with a razor. This stuff is that easy to work with. Its re-applyable, doesnt leave a messy residue, etc . . .
Guess whats next on the mod list?

Finished product.
COMPLETE color change. Pulled the Qtr Windows and had the jambs, inside trunk, under hood, etc . . .sprayed. Just need to hit the shocktowers/engine bay areas with some satin black to finish it off.

mehsoarer your car has come a very long way and it looks great, im very impressed to be honest.
I have one question, where did you get that body kit from?
IM having a heck of a time finding a place that sells good quality kits for a decent price and yours looks like its fits perfectly.
Do u mind if i ask how much you paid for it?
thanks in advance
oh and your job on the interior was excellent, also did u have to roll your fenders to get the 20's to fit? must have

The front lip is from WISE. And it fits better than my stock SC400 lip. No modification, and i was able to drill out the holes and re-use the factory mounting points and hardware.
The sides skirts and rear vallance were purchased from AIT. Its the AutoCouture knockoff. Some seller on eBay. AIT makes a pretty good fiting product for the price.
The sideskirts were 8/10 on the fitment, but what would you expect from high-production fiberglass item. The rear vallance however fit like a glove! It was 10/10 on fitment.
WISE lip cost me $210 with shipping from east coast. The AIT kit (whole kit with front bumper) cost me $400 cash picked up here in SoCAL from the AIT distribution wharehouse. I then sold the front bumper for $200 to a friend.

I did have to roll the front and rear fenders to get these to tuck. And the lip of the rear wheels have less than a credit card of clearance. LOL

im glad to hear someone had a decent experiance with an e-bay body kit.
I started a thread a while ago asking if anyone had any good experiances with them and half of the people were hating on the idea of it.
thanks again keep up the good work sir.
