Both my babies nice & clean

Geez, chill out Rac3rX, you don't *need* to get into it with every single person that you talk to on here. Constructive criticism like your first post is usually appreciated, but you don't have to go off the deep end on the guy.

I had some of the same problems with my WW bumper, not quite as drastic, but all the same stuff... and I will add that it DOES get worse in the summer. On top of that, we usually only see 105ish on the hot days here. 120+ degree heat warps CF hoods, makes urethane sag, and generally just sucks all around for stuff like this.

XclusiveLV - When you get around to fixing it, hit me up and I will be glad to help you. It won't be hard to do it yourself with a quick stop for supplies at home depot.:) Other than that, awesome setup man.

The whole pointing and laughing thing is what I was refering to as unnecessary. Hey guys sorry about getting all defensive this morning, but that was not what I wanted to see as the first thing when I woke up.

Rac3rX, I appreciate your criticism and will make an effort to correct the fitment issues.

505Zoom, Thanks for the love man, and I'll definately hit you up for some advise in fixing it. Are you from Vegas?

Sure man.:) As much as I love to visit Vegas, I am not from there. I live in northern New Mexico.

I know, but that's part of life living in Las Vegas with a polyurethane bodykit. It tends to sag in 120+ degree weather. I'm sure there's more that I could do to get it to fit better, but I guess it just doesn't bother me that much to do anything about it

polyurethane really sags in 120F weather???? is there any scientific truth/real evidence to this?
 
You sir, are a moron!!!


actually...a custom car is ALWAYS a work in progress...there's always something to do to get it closer to perfection, even tho it'll never get there, because by that time you had already got bored of it and gotten a new toy ;)

what the **** doe sit matter if the kit fits good or not....at 100mph, you won't notice, coz ur ass would be so far back!!!

anyways, like the other kid said, pay no attention to the envy of that little fucktard....he's jujst jelous, as i am, of your car....but he can't manage being jelous...

keep it comming, and i'll be waiting on those install pics man, your my inspiration....

What??? That is EXACTLY what I did.....



You reply...



That is incorect, as I explained, and pointed out through Pics...

Then

The guy asked if it was a widebody, you said...




No its not and molding it wouldnt make fender flares into a widebody, a true widebody.

Stop being so defensive! The fitment is terrible take it like a man, and stop acting like it fits fine.

You asked for comments & sugestions remember...



Dont cry when you get some.


Our Sugestion..

Get the bumper proporly fitted.
 
Beautiful car. That body kit looks really good on it even with the heat issue. I agree with everyone else that the white makes the car look really raw. The intercooler piping showing through the bumper looks pretty sick as well.

Get bent, you sir are a Tool!

Blah blah blah, GROW UP!

I stated its a fresh ride. Jealous? Not really. There are so many things in life other people have that I dont, Big deal, to be jealous of them is rediculous & a waist of time and effort. On top of this, I too have a LX with A turbo going in when the payments are done, so Whoop de ******* do.

Its one thing to accept the bad fitment and move on, its another to ignore it ad play like its all good.

Dont make me post another pic of the bad fitment that is obvious.

Yes the car looks good, but it would look better if there was work done to improve the fitment.

Hey guys thanks for all the compliments and suggestions, however I dont feel it's necessary to argue over my bad fitment. I've accepted the fact that it's ****** up and plan to fix it as soon as I have some spare time. What looks nice is just a matter of opinion anyway and I really wasn't trying to start anything by posting. Sorry if I caused any undue heartache over the matter.

Rac3rx, appology accepted, and I too am sorry for being all defensive and jumping your s*** this morning.

ChopstickHero, the evidence is in the pics I posted. I highly advise against installing a polyurethane bodykit if you live in a city that gets anywhere near as hot as Vegas.

Im glad we are chill, your ride is impressive, and I cant wait to see the updated pics.

As others have already said the white theme is vere well done.
 
I wanted to add my two cents. I've seen ONE white protege with the P5 front bumper and I love the way it looks. I'm a fan of white cars. You can see all the body detail. Definately looks hot, but not a fan of the pipes showing. regradless I wish I had a white car. Congrats!

Thats a good idea, the P5 bumper would be a perfect solution (the flares will still work) and it would always fit good, Plus, you can grab a aftermarket grill.


Th only real diff will be the tiny wings in front of the tires.

How often do you come to town? We should have a meet.

My cousin lives there so I try to make it out at least once a year. I will hit you up for sure when I make it out there again.

Yeah, dont get me wrong I like em too, but unfortunatly his is not sitting as well as yours, are the wings worth the gaps?


P5 bumper aint hard to come by, and 100% works and sits perfect.


BTW nice looking ride!!
 
I actually love those tiny wings, they flow well with the theme of the car. If I have to live with the gap to keep the wings then so be it. I'm sure that's not the case though, I'm almost positive it can be fixed.

Sweet looking ride 505zoom
