update on my gsr *new pics*

[$lick Rick]

welp here's how she sits as of yesterday when i refused to pick her up.


the front lip they removed, put in the trunk, then forgot about... when i went to pick it up yesterday the first thing i noticed was my itr lip was inside the car and still black... that's when i started to get pissed.

there was only one drip... but it was a huge drip dangling down from my rear fender well, there was dirt under the paint in a few areas that looked like s**t and felt like sand paper, the side skirts were prepped and installed BEFORE they were painted.
so the top of the side skirt inside the door is still black, and they were flush with the car one one end, then in the middle they were sticking out about an inch.... in essence they were installed like s**t

i might be able to pick my car back up tomorrow, but most likely it will be monday or tuesday.

i'm not vury happy right this second for sure

[FRODO]

dont see what you're talking bout bro?

in person all of the trim looks fine

 

[steve98ex]

must be the shadow, makes it look like it sticks off farther towards the front

 

[brookliner7]

bummer dood, how much did you pay them?

 

[J32a2OwnsU]

Sideskirts DONT look good alone (needs lip and rear trim).

I know u are getting it but. Just thought Id comment since you all ripped 4000 posts away from me

front lip is being painted then installed....
the only rears i'd concider are oem rear valences and those are hard to find.

i'm paying them about $900 total, it's not gonna be show quality but i'm not gonna take it if it looks like s**t.

*edit*
but in all honesty... not sure i'm feeling the side skirts myself.
i wanna wait till it's all done and see, then i can always get new sides later

$900 for the skirts and the lip!? doesnt that seem high?

 

[$lick Rick]

nono, i bought the skirts from streetstyler and the lip i've had for months.

i paid them $900 to do some bodywork after my car got wrecked, to prep, paint, and install my new side skirts, to color match my front lip, and to repaint the entire car.

 

[05]

oooooo, i was gonna say, thats a crazy amount, now that i know thats a good deal when it comes out right

 

[steve98ex]

actually that sounds a little cheap then, i was quoted between 300-400 from a couple places just for my sideskirts

 

[Declectic]

man, i was going to say, WTF why is the side skirts lower than anything else... no front lip, DOY!

sucks these people are dicking around on you, but when it's finally all said and done, should look good bro

 

[$lick Rick]

well with any luck i'll be picking it up within an hour or so.... keep your fingers crossed please

 

[boricuacvc]

damn...just saw the pics... i hope it looks better!

i hope they fixed it the way you wanted it the first time.

starts reminding me that i need to get a new skirt, paint them both, get the 98-01 itr exterior conv. done, and then repaint mine. then i get reminded i have just about $200 in the bank and i have a truck payment coming up

 

[Melt]

hopefully it turns out better than my $440 paint on my accord. s**t looked like ass after a while spiderwebbing and stuff and i took really good care of the exterior.

 

[$lick Rick]

got it back today, gonna have to take it in for a few touchups.... and i'm lookin for different side skirts, they did a shitty install but i know that even if they did it perfect i still wouldnt be feelin them.

i'll have pics up in a bit when i can get to a camera

 

[boricuacvc]
