Yay my BC2 kit came in too! (pics inside)

[SP33D]

Well my kit is finally here, although I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks to put it on.. heres a little preview with my POS camera phone.

does it come with a grille or did you just set it on there for pic purposes? no side skirts or rear bumper?

 

[Protege2K]

Damn the more I see that front bumper the more I love it. I might have to get one when they release it for the 99/00. That front would be excellent with my FMIC. How much did you pay for the bumper?

I had the grill sitting in there because i wanted to see if it would fit... couldn't fit the rest of the kit in the living room lol. I wanted to get a pic of everything.. but I had no room, and nobody to hold the eyelids ;p

Why? Whats wrong with factory rims?

Factory wheels with a body kit just doesn't look right. I think what makes it look terrible is that 99% of people get wheels before kit so when someone goes the opposite path it just doesn't look right.

The sparco hood pins are going to hold on my vis carbon fiber evo style hood.. because im going to remove the regular latch.. so they will be fully functional hood pins. My funds are gonna be running pretty low after all is said and done, but matthew.. to answer you're comment, I'm getting 19" RacingHart GT5's competition black with a polished lip hopefully sometime in April.

And anyways.. 17" racingharts probably won't look too horrible with a body kit, like 2-3 years ago.. 17's were the size to have... now its 18's, and that's why I'm going with 19's

How much did you pay for the bumper?

P5 stock wheels look real good with a bodykit. Sometimes certain wheels do not go with a bodykit or by the time you get your bodykit the wheels you have on your ride are all torn up. Personally, stock wheels look awesome, better then some unattractive wheels out there . BTW congrats on your BuddyClub 2, post pics of the rear if possible when it is painted and installed.

well for now im still gonna be rockin the stock rims. . casue i dont' plan changing them out till my oem tires wear out. . .i dont' see a point in spending needless money if i don't have to yet. . . the body kit was actually ochestrated perfectly since i had a minor fender bender that buddy club helped me out with and hooked me up with the kit

ill be gettign my rims in a couple months when my shoes wear out


EDIT: oh yea. . my car is the P5 on buddy club 2 's site

 

[SP33D]

awsome.. hopefully it'll be ready in time for the meet!!

first show is april 4th.. i'll have everything done by then and by the meet except for the rims (unless everything works out perfectly.. but it would be cutting it really close)
