Note: the rear bumper is a half bumper

Just arrived! They will begin making molds for hybrid FRP kits shortly!

[tacotacotaco]

any coupe rear bumpers?

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

any pics of what they look like on the cars?

[Brian]

Sexy Style eh.......

[crazyikimasho]

any coupe rear bumpers?

SexyStyle doesnt make a coupe rear. However I am trying to convince Ken to figure out a way to mold that rear into a coupe bumper and make some.

[arkive43]

sexystyle is sex!!!!!!!

[swift_style]

not too bad. I like it.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

when it gets made, i'll buy a front. when is the key word here.

[KidSaru]

^^^ ditto that.

[arkive43]

+1 for me i want front aero :)

[Gumballf355]

Shine kicks ass... bulletproof kits perfect for track!

[C2AUTOSPL]

Yup Ken told me about that kit today, as well as the fenders for the FC. I thought it was ready to go but I guess not.

It'll take about a few weeks. I'll let you guys know when they're availab.e

[NervGS]

All these bodykits are all looking the same to me.

[KidSaru]

Off topic, but what in the hell is in your avatar?

[kouki_s14]

whoa
when and why did you start working at west covina nissan? transfer or just whole new job?
sorry for being OT, just curious

[crazyikimasho]

whoa
when and why did you start working at west covina nissan? transfer or just whole new job?
sorry for being OT, just curious

Whole new job. Brand new dealership. Ill post up more details shortly. Im the internet parts dept manager @ West Covina.

Just FYI, we have in-ground alignment racks for all slammed cars and we'll be running specials not only for parts but for service as well (i.e. synthetic oil changes, etc). My new techs will also be able to service SR20 equipped s chassis as well as other heavily modified vehicles. More to come later...

[Ricks15]

congrats on the new job man:)

[McRussellPants]

when it gets made, i'll buy a front. when is the key word here.

ugh, shut up ******.

Ken didn't buy it to let it rot in his back yard, the "if it happens" shit was relevant 2 months ago when zilvia was scrappin for the 150$ deposit.

[SNC240SX]

Wow justin a new job congrats. Now that your settled you should come to the meet! That kit looks awesome, if its resonablly priced im all over it.

[SimpleSexy180]

yeah "if it happens" and "when it gets made" is totally the same meaning.


btw, im down for a set, WHEN these get made.

[crazyikimasho]

yeah "if it happens" and "when it gets made" is totally the same meaning.


btw, im down for a set, WHEN these get made.

Now that they have them here, it shouldnt take long at all. Basically they will be test fitting the originals on a clean s13 hatch, then fixing the problems with fitment and any wavy parts then make a mold. As with other products they have made these will actually fit and look better than the original.

We'll keep you updated with progress as the info is passed down.

[CoasTek240]

I down for the sideskirts and front, however.. they need to make a back for the coupe. if so ill buy that too.

[chikara kun]

hey justin...do u know if they make any silvia front end bumpers?? let me know...thankz...

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

ugh, shut up ******.

Ken didn't buy it to let it rot in his back yard, the "if it happens" shit was relevant 2 months ago when zilvia was scrappin for the 150$ deposit.


uhh..... yeah, about that. i didn't say "if". i said "when" it gets made. learn yourself some reading skills. :roll:

[McRussellPants]

ugh, shut up ******.

everyone knows what you were implying.

[crazyikimasho]

hey justin...do u know if they make any silvia front end bumpers?? let me know...thankz...

I dont think so. If you wanted these sides, you could use a Vertex (http://www.vertex-usa.com) front bumper with them and they'd match just fine.

[ixfxi]

All these bodykits are all looking the same to me.

-glenn

yup. no wonder we get along...

[azndoc]

congrats to you justin on the new job

Kit looks good, not too conservative or aggressive. I like it.

[Zero_SX]

looks sexy to me!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/oO0oBo0Oo/SexyKnights180sx.jpg

just about everything looks sexy in black cuz u cant see the ugly parts....

i'm enjoying the rear and sides ALOT.

[420sx]

hmmm hey. he did bang britney, i think he can be creative so why not

[love_free_robots]

but seriously this kit looks good.. i have a picture of this kit on a burgundy car.. so yeah it looks good in other colors not just black... ill post it sometime. maybe.

[Edgar]

[420sx]

420sx! your sig is fucking radical!
haha. thanks. zenki love.:2f2f:

[JVD]

Woo woo! Finally. I've been patiently waiting. My car looks like fucking trash right now... Rolling around with no aero. It's embarrassing! Can't wait to get this junks painted up.

I'm just thinking, I need 18's now though.

[-=RS13=-]

^^ Yup

Nice kit it looks alot better in red too, Hmmmmm

[420sx]

yeap. red was rated number one color in drifter's choice magazine.... ;)

[Brian]

hahah awesome kit
Now I can't wait to see the US cars with it.
Lame attempts I'm sure...

[ladiesman8527]

[revat619]

:werd:

There's probably like 3.5 people in the US that can pull it off and make that kit look good....

[Edgar]

Ahhhh I can think of some more

[JVD]

<<<< This Canuck? We'll see...

[McRussellPants]

sexy style isn't particularly hard to pull off.


but when a car on Pana G7s is what your car is gonna be compared to its probably best to tread lightly.


I may try my hand at it when I get some money.

[revat619]

It isnt hard, but most people dont know two shits about wheel fitment and stance....which, as you know, is why that car looks so good.

[yaba94070]

All these bodykits are all looking the same to me.

-glenn
yep yep...
we all hack them up anyway
lol

[origin_s135]

all i can think of when i read this topic is, "i'm bringing sexy back!YEAH!"

[420sx]

"mmm sexyy. get in my belle bebe"

[crazyikimasho]

Just a reminder...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/oO0oBo0Oo/sexyknightsonevia.jpg

and an update, finally got to see the original test fitted on my personal car and the fitment is pretty bad. Theres significant gaps between the top where it meets the fender and the typical gap between hood and bumper (can usually be fixed with brackets).

However, Shine Auto will be using my car to adjust the original to make it fit much better and the mold will be made once the adjustments are made. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make a coupe rear bumper/valance.
More updates once Shine gets the mold underway.

[Ian]

any pics yet?

[love_free_robots]

Bring Sexy Style Back Already!!!! I Hate Waiting!

[Farzam]

yeap. red was rated number one color in drifter's choice magazine.... ;)


Cause I got it and they all wanna be me.


I think i'd get this aero for a reasonable price.

I'd realy not want to spend $1k...

[420sx]

yea. cause for a car that is driven all the kits are constant "break crack and fix" game

[Farzam]

Aero is the only thing i'd get a knockoff off...
Cause it's like a diaper.

[sideview_180sx]

wouldn't the fender gaps be for fitment of wider front fenders...

[Ricks15]

A Justin why are they using you're coupe for fitment if the kit they ordered is for 180SX-hatch:confused:

[jspecusa]

shine auto makes good quality aero, but the sale volumne just won't
be there for 240sx parts.
90%+ would buy cheap parts only less the 10% would appreciate good stuff.
"made in usa" don't matter much anymore.

[crazyikimasho]

A Justin why are they using you're coupe for fitment if the kit they ordered is for 180SX-hatch:confused:

Coupe aero is identical to hatch except the rear bumper. The sides and rear fit great as tested on another car.

I'll be personally running Sexy Style front bumper and sideskirts from Shine Aero and different rear bumper, more than likely Vertex style.

exactly, they make awesome quality aero that fits better than a lot of the companies' aero from Japan (or in some cases, supposedly from Japan).

[Tearlessj]

Im in if this ever happens.

[Xracer]

Whats the posssibility for the New Ver2 kit? Im in on that.

[Dousan_PG]

ken knows im down for sure
saw it in person
had to sit down
for a while
my pants shrunk, got light headed and dizzy

shit was awesome
everything but the rear bumper for me, its just an add on rear. bleh.

[azndoc]

Dang the aero does look pretty tight.

I'll prolly be down for some too.

[crazyikimasho]

Im in if this ever happens.

This IS happening. Just an update, they are using another S13 for another fitment session this week. Also the FC kit has a little more priority b/c those guys were in first.

Basically they are working on the two chassis at the same time, but the FC has more priority at the moment. With patience, good things come :)

Whats the posssibility for the New Ver2 kit? Im in on that.

Right now they only have Vers 1 kit. If enough people were interested and it was feasible, Im sure Ken would consider.

[Dousan_PG]

oh its happenning
yeah like justin said testing on another s13 that isnt all f'd up
FC will def get done first
they pony up for money
unlike most 240sx owners
haha

[FaLKoN240]

I got word that you guys were doing the test fit on the car farrrr too late. It was like a week after I crashed my car.

I would've let you use my car fa sho! :(

I want this kit when it comes out :D

[Xracer]

Well if you can get ahold of that kit (the real one) let me know. I really want the ver2 front bumper. Perhaps I can pay for half, you guys do what you do and send me the front bumper?

[Ricks15]

Justin call up ken everyday till you bug the shit out of him so they can hurry the hell up and make these kits:rawk: .

[crazyikimasho]

Justin call up ken everyday till you bug the shit out of him so they can hurry the hell up and make these kits:rawk: .

Its being handled, dont worry. As many people are all hyped up about this happening fast, I expect to see all of you buying when they are ready :)

[na3j nitsuj]

i didnt know it would take them this long...
I am having second thoughts..


but it is pretty sexy...

[blackflag_Rms13]

Hmmm... where was everybody when it came time to throw a deposit? :rolleyes:

Well either way, it's definitely good to see progress. FC SexyStyle is priority cuz' they ain't broke bitches...

Xracer, it's probably best if you contact Shine either directly or on RX7Club, because they're not on Zilvia. Fyi, half on the bumper isn't gonna cut it. If you read through the thread they need money upfront to buy the kit(or bumper or whatever), and at least some asurance that there's actually gonna be people that want to buy it. Might be better off just importing it :hs:

[drift-it]

whats the possibilty of getting sexy style s14 hood or just that hood vent?

[blackflag_Rms13]

SexyStyle doesn't make an s14 hood. You want a vent like the FC hood?

[Xracer]

I'll talk to them. I want at least the front bumper.

[Lucifer666]

ok...............

[Tearlessj]

I cant wait for this. lol

[crazyikimasho]

Ken has now also test fitted on my roommate Alex's S13 hatch and is going to test fit Lindsay's DD S13 coupe.

He just wants to make sure theres consistancy and find the cleanest, straightest chassis possible to model for the mold.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Whats the posssibility for the New Ver2 kit? Im in on that.

http://www.versionselect.com/images/180sxv5popup.jpg

[d*star180]

FUCK ME IN THE FACE....................
Is version select making ver 2 shit now!??

[Dousan_PG]

ugh that V2 shit is ugly

[KiDyNomiTe]

ugh that V2 shit is ugly

:werd: Takes a lot of effort to make it look right, but its different, I like the rear though, oem style!


But the v:S kit is already here came in a day ago, its like version 5 or something, version 6 will be doper though, whenever that gets here...

[ManoNegra]

So.... what's version 6 going to be?

[DoriftoSlut]

Someone want to help me get my car out to Shine for them to test fit this weekend? I'm busy NOT being a 240 owner, and trying to get my FC ready for its debut. PM me or let Justin know, he's my bitch, i mean agent.

Thanks. Jsut so you guys know, if I can't get my car out there this weekend, and next weekend is Ziptied All Star Bash '07, there won't be any fitting till the weekend AFTER, so... Yeah. Sorry. I know, everyone's been waiting for so long, but OHHH is it worth it....

[Tearlessj]

Any news? Im looking for a kit and this seems greatttttttttt.

[SexPanda]

I found a kit on ebay for like 100 bucks its a vader 2 style one and im gonna get a foot high aluminum rear wing to add to it, then paint my car lime green...

or not.

I was actually wondering if anyone has put those PDM-Racing sideskirts and rear bumper (or something like it) with a stock Silvia S13 K's front bumper. It a hatch btw. Just curious as to how that would look.

[Edgar]

eff all this

anyone on the board have this sexy style on their cars yet?

[Full-Lock]

d*star has the rear on his car. its the version 1 i believe.

[KiDyNomiTe]

d*star has the rear on his car. its the version 1 i believe.

he has the v:S sexy style kit, which is type 2 (the one at the top of this page)

[sblack13]

so no updates, i'm interested in the version 1.

[RiceEata]

shine's kit should be done soon, their finishing up the molds this week!

not sure how much their making on the first batch...

http://www.shineautoproject.com/

[Tearlessj]

Good news. Coming from the Supra community. Shine makes quality products!

[DSPro]

Is this a collaboration between Sexy Style and Shine?

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[ManoNegra]

Uhh... when was this supposed to come out again? I really want it.

Sometime last year... lol.. I want to see this painted on someone's car. Who's going to be the guinea pig?

[kouki180sxdrfta]

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

Sometime last year... lol.. I want to see this painted on someone's car. Who's going to be the guinea pig?

probably one of the guys that put in a deposit way back when to get the aero here.


i'm also anxiously awaiting.

[hijack3d]

I wish I could find a good Kei Office knock off for the S14... :( And yes, knock off.. lol. I don't want to crush my little hopes and dreams with searching for an authentic one...

[Ninjabread]

Any updates?

[MeSs]

Interested in front and sides.. SexyStyle!

[Xandy Boosts]

omg damnit. I thought it was finally instock ready for sale, didn't realize it was the old thread. :damnit:

[ROUGE180]

omg dammit. I thought it was finally in stock ready for sale, didn't realize it was the old thread. :dammit:


lol.. I was feeling the same way. I have been looking at that kit forever and a day. I hope that they finally get it out to the masses. The site is under construction. We'll see.

[kouki_style]

that kit is soo nice

[SoSideways]

lol.. I was feeling the same way. I have been looking at that kit forever and a day. I hope that they finally get it out to the masses. The site is under construction. We'll see.

Yeah pretty much.

I had to flake on the first go around because I was basically broke.

Now I can spare the cash, I want this shit done!!

[RiceEata]

Any updates?

front and side molds are done, they still have to do the rear.

reasons for delays...
they decided to use a new mold making process, but were given wrong info. first ones got messed up and then they ran out of materials right before the holiday's...plus their key mold maker quit, so they had to train the guys they had available.

should be done soon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law

[Ninjabread]

Wow so this is still on then?

SWEET.

summer time 08.

[SoSideways]

I emailed them right after I made my last post here, but haven't gotten a reply from them yet.

[240trainee]

Damn, this would make me consider converting back to pop-ups

[240trainee]

God DAMN I love this aero, lol, seriously would make me consider going back to pop-up front end.

[PoorMans180SX]

Doh! Well, maybe someone wants to know what V2 looks like on a proper car.

[luckyslide16]

[luckyslide16]

Thats V2, I think what is being made here is V1 with a coupe rear bumper cover.


Damn V2 is awesomeness too! Any plans on making this kit then?

[240trainee]

Version select copied version 2.

read the thread.

[Ninjabread]

Yep.

v1 is so much sicker.

[PoorMans180SX]

I though you had plans for V2 Ninjabread?

[Ninjabread]

Yea we'll see... I didnt think that V1 was gonna be made.

V1 is so much cleaner, love the look.

V2 is my second choice though :)

[Kuzumi]

fiberglass i ASSume? i want a hood like that for my s13 silvia front.

[PoorMans180SX]

Well, the Sexy Style car above has a Koguchi Power hood. They are starting to make overfenders for coupes/S13 fronts, but I'm not sure about hoods.

[wisdom01]

Has anyone heard from Shine about this? I am really interested to get one of these kits. Do the guys who put down deposits have any updates?

[SoSideways]

I emailed them sometime last month, and they still haven't replied, so I have no clue.

[Johny5]

version 2 is where its at

[McRussellPants]

The lip on the first pic is M-sports.

[RiceEata]

front and sides are done!

http://gaku2.fc2web.com/photo/ratoru/images/ratoru_075_c.jpg

[Ninjabread]

Wo!

When will it be ready for sale?

Estimated price range?

[Bushido]

fuckin a, sexystyle has been here for a year. and i still haven't seen anybody with it, or prices? wtf

[JVD]

So they did what in a year?... Test fit a body kit? Holy fuck.

[RiceEata]

yeah, it took a while...
pretty sure they have other projects that have more demand/deposits.
they didn't have to make this kit...just be stoked that it happened.

350 front
250 sides

i'm not 100% sure when the kits gonna be available, my stuff gets shipped next week.

[hitman]

you guys should just sell sexy style hood vent. ive always liked the style although i dont need it anymore.

[blackcoupe]

i am down for this!

[Flybert]

That's a pic of a car in japan. When I see it on a car here, I'll believe it. I heard the fronts and sides were done a long time ago. 240sx owners are cheap so I can understand how this on the bottom of the priority list.

I would be down to pay for it. If anyone can directly put me in contact to purchase the fronts and sides, please do so.

RiceEataa hook it up!

[lflkajfj12123]

anyone have pics or link to the vertex kit that is similar to this

[Flybert]

I would be down to pay for it. If anyone can directly put me in contact to purchase the fronts and sides, please do so.

Definitely, fronts and sides would work nicely for coupe owners.

[JVD]

Dude, a bunch of people already paid for it or put down a deposit. I got my refund a long time ago though. I realized they were doing no work on it. If I want it, I'll buy it when it's finished. I thought me getting in on the GB would be some sort of motivation for the company to complete the molds and such. Apparently not.

If riceeata is getting his shipped next week, I would assume they're going to publicly sell the kit (soon hopefully)...unless he has a one of kind mold. Which I highly doubt.

[RiceEata]

just be patient...

i dunno how they do things, i would think, guys that sent in deposits get first dibs...middle man next, west co, autornd, etc.. then they throw it on ebay.

how much can they make with one mold in one day? 1-3 pieces, dunno.
are they busy? probably

this is what i remember happened,keeping it short...
first off never got enough deposits in time to pay for kit
container full of stuff, leaves japan.
scrounge, for deposits, sell a bunch of parts for cheap, pay in full
sexy style kits ship
aero arrived 3-4 months later.
fitment on first car sucked ass

shine starts/ finishes up other projects

2-4 months, spent finding/test fitting 3-4 cars, still sucked ass.
fix fitment issues

by then most people probably asked for refunds
finish up/start new projects

3-4 months later, use better/cheaper method to make molds
first ones fail,
run out of mold materials right before holiday session,
delay
main mold maker quits
train guys available

finish up other project

2-3 months
blah, blah, blah
something like that, idk, front and side molds are done!

[blackcoupe]

You should ask ShineAuto if they're going to release it publicly soon. Because I'll buy it as soon it becomes available, let them know they already got another buyer.

Its a nice kit and all, but what sets it apart from all the other kits?
It looks like a pretty common "looking" kit to me, don't get me wrong it looks cool and all. I just don't get what the hype is all about.

I'll probably end up getting it because I support Shine Auto and their quality of work.

[Ninjabread]

Well, obviously, its not LIKE any other kit sold out there.

It's unique, and no one has replicated it, yet.

It looks fucking good. Kinda like a mix of uras and msports (ish, kinda?)

If you think it's "common looking" then to you vertex must look like bn sports and uras, and erebuni.

[lflkajfj12123]

the sexy style kit looks great on super low cars and i think makes for the sexiest coupe, the lines are great

the only other aero i'd consider for an s13 is bn sports

s14 is w9

uras is everywhere no thanks

[DunG HAB SP]

so i guess thats why they call it R & D = rip off and duplicate. no offense intended

[blackflag_Rms13]

Paid deposit. Got a refund. Still willing to buy a kit.

[FaLKoN240]

Paid deposit. Got a refund. Still willing to buy a kit.

[blackcoupe]

Get 2 so we can cheap out on the shipping ;)

[TokyoNights]

[blackcoupe]

wow this reminds me I need to get my money back
been like 1.5yrs haha


Has ShineAuto even contacted or updated you?

[RiceEata]

no release date yet.

their thinking bout releasing just front and sides soon, fastback guys might have to wait.

will let you know.

just curious, how many of you guys wanted the rear?

http://gaku2.fc2web.com/photo/ratoru/images/ratoru_075_e.jpg

[lflkajfj12123]

for coupe?

if it flows then yeah

[blackcoupe]

I'll be down with just the fronts and sides with vertex rear

[RiceEata]

i meant fastback.

[blackcoupe]

isn't your stuff coming in this week riceeata? make sure you take post pics when you get it!

I really hope they release it publicly soon (as in less than a month)

[khoadogg]

damn, sweet kit! maybe a new look for next year!

[Ninjabread]

If I was to buy it, I'd want the rear.

Is the price on this thing going to be 800-1200 or 1500 + ?

[RiceEata]

isn't your stuff coming in this week riceeata? make sure you take post pics when you get it!

I really hope they release it publicly soon (as in less than a month)

shipping to hawaii by boat takes about a month, some of you guys might have it before me.

price for the full kit was about 900

[Ninjabread]

Oh, man, where do I send my monies? Tax return will be put to good use!

[RiceEata]

front and sides available...

ShineAutoProject.com

[ilia]

Sexy style is some of the best looking aero ever made fools! Don't get it twisted!

[Matej]

This is soooo overhyped.

It does look alright, but talking about it for two years is going to be its main selling point haha.

[blackcoupe]

I already bought it.

[SoSideways]

front and sides available...

ShineAutoProject.com

Good thing their site is still "under construction". Key word being "still". Because it has been like a year since the site was up.

I'm guessing we're going to have to buy the kit by calling them? Since I emailed them a long time ago and they STILL haven't replied back. Again, the key word is "STILL".

Oh, what's the price on the front and sides? What about the rear? Did they not make the rear?

[Dousan_PG]

rear is a 1/2 piece bumper add on, meaning u need ur stock rear bumper

i wouldtn waste time making it
u lose 1/2 the 240sx anyways
wont fit coupes.

get a vertex type of rear will match up nicely.

[sblack13]

where can I buy the front and sides?
went to website nothing
time for a change!

[RiceEata]

email um again, i did my part, you guys is on your own.

[blackcoupe]

Yah. I did my work. RiceEata get your stuff yet?

[SoSideways]

email um again, i did my part, you guys is on your own.

Before you "leave us stranded", please tell them to reply to any future emails about the Sexy Style, or any of their kits, because honestly, lots of people have said that they have not gotten any replies after emailing them, just on this thread alone.

Or I'm totally imagining things from the lack of sleep/rest.

[Bushido]

i emailed them more than a few times... no answer.

and it is true their site has been under construction forever...
not the best way to run a business.

[RiceEata]

just wanted to apologize about the rude comment this morning, just sick of being the messenger, i'm over it.

i dunno thats just how they are, they just leave you hanging. sometimes it takes 2-3 emails till i get a reply. probably short handed and busy...

my stuff just shipped this monday.

front $350
sides $250

got this from shines rx7 fourm...

Painting Shine Auto Project Hybrid FRP Aero Parts

Recommendations by Makito Nakai

*Shine Auto Project’s Hybrid FRP Aero Parts are basically flexible fiberglass parts. FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Plastic, and that is simply what fiberglass is. Fiberglass is considered a plastic in the composites industry. However, our parts differ from conventional FRP aero parts because we use an undisclosed combination of special surface coats, resin, and fabric to give our parts the flexible properties it needs. Conventional FRP aero parts are made with a gel coat surface, which is brittle and harder to sand. Our Hybrid FRP parts have a flexible black primer surface, exclusively formulate for us, which is easier to sand and adheres much better to other primers as well as paint. Gel coats do not adhere to paint very well, which is why paint tends to peel off if the part it is not prepped meticulously. Primer is used as the link to adhere the two.


The “VIP Special”

Materials:

1. Primer :RM Diamont DP-200
2. Flex agent: DF-25
3. Hardener: Diamont PH-10 Hardender

Ratio: 4/1/1

4 Primer (DP-200)/ 1 Hardener (PH-10 Hardener)/ 1 Flex Agent (DF-25)

4. Base Coat: Diamont RM or Glasurit (no mix)

5. Clear Coat: Daimont DC-5800 + flex agent (DF-25)
6. Hardener: DH-99 (Not the same as the primer hardener)
7. Reducer: VR-29

Ratio: 4/1/1/1

4 Clear Coat (DC-5800)/ 1 Flex Agent (DF-25) / 1 Hardener (DH-99)/ 1 Reducer: VR-29


1. Wash the bumper with Dawn original soap. This helps rid of oils and mold release on the surface of the part.

2. Sand the bumper down with 320 grit sand paper. Wet sanding is preferred because it cuts faster. You might want to use a flexible steel sheet or a block as backing to get the ultimate smooth surface.

3. After that is done. Clean the part again and let it dry.

4. Primer the part. Just make sure the whole surface is covered. If you are painting your car a dark color, it might not matter because our surface coat is a flexible black primer. However, if you’re painting the part a light color such as white, it would be best to neutralize the part with as much gray primer as possible. Spraying on a sealer should also help.

5. Let the primer dry accordingly. Maybe 2-3 hours. Wet sand the part again with 320 or 400 using the same procedure. Then use 600, 800, 1000 for the ultimate surface. 600 is usually adequate. Sanding it 800 or 1000 gives a better finish, but more work = more $$$. You get what you pay for.

6. Clean the part. Let it dry. Spray base coat.

7. Let the base coat dry. Apply Clear coat. How many passes is up to the jugdment of the sprayer/painter. Unless he’s Mr. Perfect, the clear coat will not spray on perfectly flat. The clear coat will usually be wavy. This is where “color sanding” comes in to even out the surface. Most OEM paint jobs have an orange peel texture to it as well. It is up to you if you want to match that orange peel texture or if you want a smooth mirror like finish.

8. Wait a day or two for drying time.

9. “Color Sand/Wet Sand” Sand 1000, 1200, 1500 . …. Be very careful with this procedure.

10. Buff. I can ask him details about what he uses to buff.

[RiceEata]

fit and finish on the front bumper was alright, the one i got has some small creases next to the turn sigs and was little too wide.
sticks out 1/2" on each side (near side markers).
kinda gotta force it to make it fit.
never need dremel anything, just drill holes and ziptied it.

sides were flawless.

[ESmorz]

Sweet baby jesus, that is sexy

[spoolandslide]

Sweet baby jesus, that is sexy

I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!

[blackcoupe]

[RiceEata]

[I10cruiser]

[lflkajfj12123]

uhnnnn

[pablo13]

After reading this thread, I'm still unsure if you pulled this off or not? Whats the score with this kit, did you finish it or what?

[philstar]

any pics of the actual product?

that pic above all i see is a cut-up pignose front end and sides that arent sexy style.

[Bushido]

yeah wtf? those sides on the black coupe are like hotroad ver. II or something kouki style... does shine make those as well, in addition to the sexystyle sides?

[Flybert]

He must have moved his photos around in his photobucket or renamed them or something like that because it used to be a pic of his car with sexy style on it. That pic above is the way his car looked a long time ago.

[philstar]

ha oh okay. yeah that got me super confused! lol

[s14_legend]

[blackcoupe]

hahaha. Lower maybe. I'm contemplating it, but the places I have to go wont allow me to graze the ground as nicely as most of you would like.

[lflkajfj12123]

bahhh!

excuses!

[Z33dori]

[blackcoupe]

What's the paint code of your car? Does it have a bit of blue in it?

Honestly I don't know. I had my uncle spray it any black. It may be OEM it may not, Im pretty sure there is some blue in it there are some spots on the car where I can see some blue mixed it.
