i think it could have been better if there are black stitching there. just sayin. yet still looks good.

 

I agree. There is actually black stitching on all of them but it's not really visible in the pictures. It's visible in person but If I could go back I would have gotten thicker more prominent stitching.

 

yeah i notice the black stitches. 4 stitches or a stripe will be better i think.

 

yeah. if they ever wear out or something happens where i need to re-order them I am going to get it with a black stripe like the ones here:

^yups better lookin...

 

Anyone know how much this would cost to fix? I believe its made of plastic and that is scraped up and the paint above is cracked. I'm not looking for a spot on estimate but just a rough one if anyone has any idea.





It was my own stupidity. I curbed it while parking

I think i'm just going to get some touch up paint and paint it in but eventually if the car gets dings or scrapes I will get them all professionally fixed.

Any ideas how much a shop would charge?

 

Thats like a $200 fix, with color match etc. Or you could just take the lip kit off and hand it to me next tuesday



Edit: didnt I yell at you about parking over the curb last Tuesday? HAHAHA

 

Alright. I figured it would be around that price. You can have my lip kit if you fix it for me and give it back :p.

And that was like four weeks ago and it was about backing over the curb, not driving over it.

 

Yea in like 2 years and it will be painted white

Same difference! LOL

 

Lol.

I just bought some touch up pain in a can and clear coat and I'm going to make it look better (hopefully) myself. I plan on getting it fixed professionally eventually if my repairs don't work so this can be a learning experience for me

 

just dont do it in a 45 degree weather/ do it in a warm garage

 

BTW can somebody please report this to CARFAX

 

I will not. I will wait until it's 60+ to do it.

HAHAHAHAHA! go ahead, I'm never selling this car ever!!!

 

I painted the scrape today. I used www.automotivetouchup.com and their paint was a perfect match. I highly recommend them.

I also added a Weapon R sticker, and some stickers on the hatch courtesy of DT9 Designs. They are black so they blend in with the hatch glass. I call them Stealth Stickers

 

That's a short ram intake right? And where did ya get it from i was looking at intakes

 

Yep, it's a short ram. I got it Here however their site seems to be down right now. It was $202 if I remember correctly.

 

Thanks i will check it out. You happy with it?

 

Yea I'm really happy with it. it was pretty cheap and it makes a nice difference in sound. I would recommend it. A CAI would probably sound better but I don't want to think about hydro locking the engine even though it would most likely not happen.

 

touch up looks good did you spray it with a gun or was it a brush or spray can loooks good either way

 

Thanks man. I used a spray can. I still need to do a bit of work to make it perfect but it looks better.
