On another not I do love how the bigger bumpers sit. The make the car look aggressive but they would cost you an arm and a leg to get here as they are so rare in our parts as well. Ace your ride looks great.

Lol, you always want what you can't have. Over here, we want the slim EDM bumpers. (lol2)
 
lol its not a shadow, its painted to go with the front lip
and the B pillar is gonna be re vinyled pretty soon, he had to break into his car cuz he locked his keys in there and it messed up the OG vinyl up so he just tore all of it off the B pillar
 
he wanted to go along the body line...and..

little secret, he sprayed rock guard on from the body line and below, when we sprayed the base coat over it, it started lifting up for some reason..that and we ran out of clear
so he just re cleared the rest of the car and left that ****** up..just recently sprayed black over it, i think it looks a shitload better
 
heh if i was in T&T i would arrange for everyone to pool $ and bring in a junked MSP. then when it comes we dismantle it and take everything we need. problem solved easy.

Check the f/s forums here. There's like 3 MSP part-outs, lol. Shipping sucks for you, but you can get the stuff...

Is the rear bumper going to get any treatment? It just needs to be continued around the whole car.
 
uhh...not sure, he wanted to paint the insert of the BC rear bumper black but i think that would be too much black

I feel like it looks a bit unfinished how it sits now. Like the paint ran out for the rear bumper. Just my .02

I love you bro's car tho, to be honest. One of my fav 3rd gens. One of 2 (maybe 3) BC kits that look good.

lol its all about give and take.... but try to hide as much as you can. worst case say you got a friend who gave it 2u for free. or you can work on those mods that are hard to see like ecu or you can hide a turbo under the...

Give and take you say?......What I hear with that statement:

Wife says: "Give me the key let me see what you did to your car or else I'll take your life!" (boom04)
 
Well, maybe your bro can chime in here, but why did he go above the sideskirt?

yea guys its painted black not only to match the lip but on the factory dx proteges it comes with rock guard on the sides. when i repainted the car i re-did the rock guard from that body line above the sideskirts. but the metallic i painted the car in was a couple years old so the flakes in the paint stood higher than the color and it looked real bad, so i sanded it down, taped it off and painted it black. its a DX thing lol

Any plans for the rear bumper?

thanks homie, and actually iv been seeing people do custom diffusers and s*** latelt, so i have been thinking about maybe cutting a bit of the BC rear bumper insert part, and maybe be fabing a diffuser in there? i think it would look pretty sick if i could do it right, i do admit the rear does look incomplete
