AlexPila's Build-Up Journal
 
Hi Guys so far i have bought a couple of parts from evo-r and they all have very good weave and clear coat fitment is almost all perfect. I'm very impressed. :tup:

I bought each part separate over time to check the quality and if it wasnt what i wanted i wouldn't order the rest. For the price i think the parts are good and shipping to South Africa from Taiwan seems good so im happy. Here are some pictures I've got will get nice ones during the day as the sun was going down today....

Here's what i've done thus far, i'm going cosmetic before power.

1.)Carbon Fang Cover - Installed
2.)Carbon Top Cover - Installed
3.)Carbon Mirror Covers - Installed
4.)Carbon Rear Diffuser - WANTED
5.)HKS Exhaust Centre Pipe - Installed
(I have just ordered the HKS centre pipe install should be in next two weeks because could not find a cheap importer for exhausts.)

6.)Spray Stock RAYS : Sprayed


Heres Some pictures from along the way...

First Day With the Car :driving:

Yeah... the mirrors sort of blend into the windows this way. I like it.

Car looks fantastic! Hey if you are still researching exhaust, there is still a spot left on the list for the second Berk CBE group buy, which is under $1000 and if you get on the list with a $300 deposit, we all get free shipping!

I really like your Carbon Fang Cover. It looks really sick! I would just be worried about a rock getting tossed up on the highway and smashing into it at 60mph.

Yeah that is my worry too bt so far no problems!!!!! It really makes a huge difference especially when you see it driving behind really looks meaner!!!!

Ok so i've ordered the HKS centre pipe. The diameter of the stock pipe is 57.15mm, while the HKS centre pipe is increased to 60.5mm and stays a dual pipe from the cats all the way to the muffler. (Should be here in 2 weeks).

Also my rims have gone in for painting, i know people recommend rather powder coat but finding a company that could make the color i wanted and powder coat them and not ruin it was hard. I went with Porsche and Aston Martin South Africa's wheel repair and painter and will have then done in 2 days as they work 24 hours.

Shhould be back tomorrow afternoon...
