Yep, it's doable, but your passengers and other cars will hate you hahah

Turning out real clean
Are you still planning on putting the Blitz exhaust on or going a different route? And are the tips really that much shorter?

Hey Hil.... Can I see a better picture/shot of your roof spoiler?

Thanks!

Yeah, I still need to see your car in person. Looks like you put a lot of work on her. I'm assuming you finally installed your air setup? Sorry, i didn't read the whole thread. I let the picture give me my own conclusion hehehehee

Yeaa, it's like 3'' difference, I kind of want something with a 4.75'' or 5'' tip now just to fill out the lip better.

BTW, if anyone needs a CHEAPPP Los Angeles shop recommendation, hit me up.


This car was hit TWICE, and totaled TWICE (rear ended, then T-boned). I got all the damage fixed: rear pulled, driver's side aligned and door area fixed. Some of the rear was pulled out by another shop for a temporary fixed but he did most of the work

Got body work fitted, shaved antenna, emblems shaved, etc. and FULL paint job and colorsanding.

The paint quality isn't the best but for everything I only paid $1750 for everything, which was well within my budget.


The only bad thing is it took a while, like 4-5weeks for initial work, but it wasn't that bad for me. Also the owner will take your car back for follow up work and fix anything you have a problem with. He also offers a warranty on the paint.

The owner doesn't speak English very well which is why I had to have a buddy interpret, but he recently hired his niece to work there who speaks perfect English.


You are welcome to check out my car for quality

Pics of damage that was repaired:






rear quarter was also buckled, but no pics

Hmm i cant seem to find the roof spoiler on ebay, but i cant stop looking at your pictures. You're sc is somewhat like how i want mines to be, dumped with sp1, black on black, roof spoiler, and for me tint all around. I was wondering do you need help installing anything? I'll be glad to stop by and give a hand or learn some things

Hay man, what you have done to your ride is hot but tasteful at the same time. I really like the signal mirrors, where can I get a pair. Keep it in the fast lane, only place an SC should be.
