thanks for the compliments guys, and Jake, Ill get ahold but honestly you dont owe me, im always willing to help out
OKay, so after waiting an EXTRA 3 weeks for Shine to send my “in stock” bumper, with their excuse being “We do not have nay of our boxes to ship things out in, we are waiting for the guy who makes the boxes to get our print in (apparently he lost it?) to make boxes, we will not be shipping anything out until we get boxes with our logos back in stock” THIS is what I get…

No logo, and a patched together box… thanks for letting my car sit in a body shop for an extra month almost for NO reason whatsoever…
But, as expected product looks of good quality, its going over to the body shop Saturday morning and should be fully fitted and primed by Sunday night…
Im also EXTREMELY happy with how the intercooler fits this bumper…

Small update, bumper is at the body shop, the shine bumper next to the Im assuming VIS piece of shit was amazing, SO much better quality, I and my body guy are VERY happy with the bumper and body work should be moving along quickly now, should be painted in 2-3 weeks ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://nyspeed.ltcmp.net/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5)
Also got some stuff back from the fabricator today…

Again on the rear water supply…
Should be around the end of May hopefully, unexpected expense of summer classes and a trip to Florida is gonna slow me down a bit but I’m working hard on getting it ready to blow up…
looks good! are those valvecover vents going to clear the hood?
yea, there is a ton of room, last year I ran a 90 straight up from where one is and they werent even close, if Im wrong, Ill either just notch the hood or grab another valvecover and redesign the setup
RUMOR HAS IT YOU’RE WAY OUTA LINE BUD.
What’s the current status/ ETA?
WELL, Finally got to go check on the work they are doing… 90 percent of it will go unnoticed but they are doing an AMAZING job, the trunk is all shaved (they say there is still a ripple they are going to fix but I cant seem to find it lmao) The front end is about 80 percent fitted, they still arent happy with the bumper to headlight gap all the way so they are working that a bit more today, the rear flares have been mocked up and are ready to go on, they are going to roll the quarters out to the inside of the flares for a perfect flush look…
The rear quarters, doors, and hood are going in primer today, I am having some spray outs done so I cna pick my exact color Wednesday, then the jams, bay, and trunk are being sprayed this next weekend (too bad Ill be in Florida!!) And the car should for sure be done end of May, these two are doing an AMAZING job on my car and the wait is already worth it… onto the pictures…
Couple shots of the fully shaved trunk…

Haha as I said on the other thread of course man! See you got yourself a bike now, no car anymore?
Right.
Yeah this is my 4th bike. After the Tibby I had a GTO but sold it last Spring. Can’t afford a nice car and a bike right now due to the economy and the lack of a good job.
You’ll have to take me for a ride when you get the S2k back! Must be a blast
real men run 315’s or bigger on the rear.
step it up.
I’ll be on 315s next season, with this rim setup there’s no way they would fit… Changing the rims next season to accommodate
so is this thing gonna be fast?
