Spd_Rcr Getting A Make Over! (Username change mmmpshh) Might be making a comeback..
Spd, glad your leaning away from CF lip. I agree that it would only serve to take attention away from your wheels and what not.
Also did you end up molding the garnish into hatch before sending it off for paint?

^ actually the body shop im takin it to get paint is doing it for me. And I thought that due to bad weather that is was gonna take a lil longer to get done, but they have already started on molding the rear!!! Im goin up there today to take care of some money stuff so I should be able to snap a few piks of what they have already done!

I looked into the caliper thing (I think I posted a couple pages ago) but its gonna cost too much money with everything else involved. Like im told Im gonna need to take calipers apart which means Im gonna need all new o-rings for them. And @ $7.50 plus shipping a piece + shipping x 8, thats gonna be alot. And then $80 in powder coating for each and misc like brake fluid and bleeding and what not (because this damn car is so hard to get the brakes bled properly) it would have totaled up to about $270! And I still gotta get front rotors and pads which are very expensive for this BBK.

well I had some ideas that they are playing with. Like the black part that holds the side views mirrors thinkin about maybe painting that white as well... things like that. Might be molding a custom spoiler on the trunk. Something like what comes on the VIS CF trunk

Maybe a little less pronounced like this

Im wondering if I should jus go wingless... the problem is, with my hood and the fact that Im getting a HIN roof spoiler I dont know if it will look like the rear is missing something. I've even thought about a OEM lip spoiler. Hmm... I wonder how a molded OEM lip spoiler would look?
ive thought about getting a lip on the trunk but i think there will be too much going on since i already have the roof wing...i like that vis cf trunk tho....what lugs are you going with for the purple wheels?
