Erebuni bodykit on and painted

looks good! kenstyle replica eh?

so reading from your posts, would u order from erebuni again?

No.

I don't know if my kit was a fluke, but for the money I paid I was expecting alot better fitment. I'm just not satisfied with the build quality of the kit--it decent, but not great. And there is basically no way to get the back bumper to fit like the stock bumper.

Most people would probably be satisfied, but I'm pretty anal about my car. I'm probably going to sell this kit next year and buy the real Autoexe and Kenstyle parts.
 
It still looks nice, but I know what you mean about being anal about your car. The small things bug me the most with mine...
 
It's still dirty, but here are some more pics.

I have the same grill. Just waiting for it to get painted.

Great work! Hope everything goes better with your new kit in the coming year though! :)
 
wow.. i love that sideshot.. it looks REALLY REALLY good!
just curious, is the kit made outta fiberglass?
 
Looks great!

Man, I love that grille. I have to get me one of those.

Sorry to hear of the flats, go figure.
 
Yeah... that grille is just begging for a fmic.
 
just go on ebay and get a nice intercooler and put it in there, if you ever boost, there it is.. lol...

Hopefully my engine and the The HiBoost turbo kit will meet sometime next summer. I've only got 9000 miles on the car, and I want to get at least a little use out of the warantee.

I've got some bad ass brakes to fill up the wheels on the way though, 13" rotors in front with wilwood 6 piston calipers, and 11.75" rotors in the rear.

You know bigger brakes rob HP, right?

i don't beileve 6 piston calipers could be lighter than 1 piston calipers.


The calipers don't affect horsepower in any way, because they are not rotating mass, they can affect unsprung weight, but that doesn't lower horsepower.
The only component of the brakes that could affect horsepower would be the rotor as it is rotating mass, but the big brake kit replaces the solid steel stock rotor with a larger two piece rotor that has a lighter aluminum hat.
 
just put my erebuni rear on my car tonight(had to replace it, car accident) like i said, it fit like a glove, i had to trim 2 places less then 3 mm to get a perfect fit.. drilled the mounting wholes put the clips and bolts in, attacthed my custom support brace i made, and my car has a beautiful white ass on my protege.. .. dont know why ur 3 had so much of a fitment problem, could it be it was for a Japanese spec protege and not a usdm spec protege, i know some of there protege kits are like that..
