i noticed that gap between the trunk and the front bumper as well. besides that, it looks great, manaray. i would love to see whole pictures of your car whether or not it has some rims...

Lvangundy - There is a little bit of unevenness there but it's nowhere nearly as bad as the photos show...the lighting was coming from behind so it caused the shadow to be "long"...I didn't even notice it...that's how minor it is...I spoke to my bodyshop guy and he said the mount points could be shimmed but honestly, it's so minor, I'm not going to worry about until I need to take off my front bumper to wire up my foglights...(my '92 has "turning light" so I need to do some extra wiring to make them into foglights)...

If you look at the side photo, you'll see that it's not even visible...


Hemogoblin - Actually posted a picture a while back of my SC with the 16" GS 6-spoke wheels (when I was at the track...) but I can tell you that it looks good (the style of the wheel with the SC)...however, I would get at LEAST 17's....16's just look too "donut-ish"....

Lex - I think the AC kit won't be as bad but it's hard to say. I'd have to drive one to find out...

Sin - I will post rear pictures sometime soon...I had posted so many rear photos while it was in the shop I figured I'd just post front ones this time...

Everyone - Yeah, I'm trying to push the wheels ASAP....but they can only make it as fast as they can make it...Hopefully, I'll have then within a couple of weeks! The clearcoater is actually the delay...but I might go somewhere else for the clearcoating...

Looks great Manaray!

I have a few questions (i'm getting ready to make a few purchases )

Would the door side mouldings be the "body rocker panel" under the 97 conversion parts FAQ? I just want to be sure before i plunk down some 400$ for what appears to be rather small pieces.

Also, I'm going to be buying a new rear bumper (97 style, want to get ride of the "SC400"), will i need to purchase the left and right rear quarter panels or does the JIC kit cover up those areas?

Thanks!

Pretty certain that the JIC covers the side pieces of the rear bumper.

The 97+ rear bumper does not look like its going to fit the JIC rear skirt!

Hella - Yeah, the door moldings are the same ones in the FAQ...email me and I'll tell you where to get them for a decent price...

The kit does NOT work with the '97 rear bumper so keep your existing one or buy the older one.

Oh, like Aliga said, the JIC rear lip covers the sides so you don't need the '97 parts.

All you need from the '97 are...

1) Front Grille
2) Fog Lights
3) Door Moldings

Mike,

Are you going to put the 97+ spoiler on the car?

I think the 92-96 spoiler look cleaner than the 97 spoiler...I'm pretty sure Manaray is going to keep it the way it is right now...
