stoked!!!! its gonna be so awesome to have a amuse and zele in your garage!!!!

Mr&Mrs · 10-10-2012, 10:51 PM

A quick update:

HOLY CRAP! This kit is 100% perfect! Everything is pre-drilled, hardware for lip included, tape for skirts, and pre-installed mesh in every opening. It only took about an hour to put all the parts on.

One sad thing I had to do was hack up the exhaust tips. Once the kit is painted and installed I will take it to a shop to add on dual tips. I had two problems:
1) Tips were to big.
2) Exhaust is to low to fit in the openings.

Here's the pics!

Hardware

Pre-drilled Holes! (They are everywhere needed just pictured a few)

First unwrapping!

Almost forgot the sexy CF Lip

Last but not least fitted to the car. By the way I had to do no sanding what so ever this time either. What a pleasure this has been so far.

Space between intercooler piping.

Hacked up tips =( but they will be fixed!

If anyone is thinking of getting this kit do it! Buy the real deal though, I have done one of each now and wish I would of spent a little more the first time. The extra money is all quality and it shows.

Everything should be going to the painter tomorrow.

looks great! I just ordered the full kit w/exhaust from bulletproof. Can't wait to get it! gotta question though, does the bumper come with a bracket for a front license plate?

Sure does, man I wanted to get the exhaust but I really want wheels too. Im trying, TRYING to put myself on some kind of budget. Plus I want to have a few things to add throughout next year.

Did you go with one of the limited SS sets or all out with the Ti?

KevinN · 10-10-2012, 11:37 PM

went with the SS set. i understand the budget constraint haha. I pulled the trigger on the zele kit right after I got some volks... wasnt the greatest idea but got them for a pretty good price, couldnt pass it up. cant wait to see your car finished

If you don't mind shoot me a PM with what they offered you the SS for. I want to see what kind of ball park we are playing in. It is really a hard price to pass up on. At the same time though the car already has a really nice 3" F.I system on it.

Hope to see a build thread come from you once your kit arrives as well.

simota1 · 10-11-2012, 01:35 AM

man that is dead on bro!!! thats what you get with the original parts man

perfect fit man...

Mr&Mrs · 10-11-2012, 09:09 PM

Nut_N_Much picked up my headlights today, and all the ZELE parts were dropped off with the painter. 2 week estimate on pick up for the parts because he does it on the side at home. Left a couple extra parts with him as well.

I looked at installing the coilovers myself but I'm not comfortable with it so they will have to wait. Unless I find someone to come to the garage and install them for me.

Coilovers are easy! I'm down to help... I've installed/uninstalled my Z springs and have installed/uninstalled my cup kit and then installed my KW coilovers on the Viper.

Mr&Mrs · 10-12-2012, 02:09 PM

Sweet I will give you a text soon and try to figure out a good day to do it. Thanks bro!

Awesome brother! Links are working fine, man that is scary no way I could pull like that on those things haha! I would feel like they would pop open like a tight potato chip bag and fly everywhere.

Also does anyone know what will get hard water spots off the piping? I tried quick detail and rubbing compound. Neither one of them worked.
