axmea?'s not-much-of-a-build thread - more like a photo log

Visited the shop today. Not much progress other than taping for the dark sections. Should be done today and cleared once it dries. Fingers crossed - pick up on Saturday.

Wheels3309 · 03-31-2016, 02:24 PM

I am waiting for Jay from evo-r to come up with something. He says he would have something soon. Carbon Signal is great quality BUT three things make me think twice - the lip kit stick out too much, the skirt add on only goes past halfway to the front, and the shipping cost sucks. I will look at beemaz' lip and see how it looks in person. Hoping to see him next week at Pismo Beach.

axmea? · 04-01-2016, 04:28 PM

Received some pics today from the shop. Final touches.

I like how it turned out. What do you think? Front piece extending to the skirt and then to the back. Really subtle yet mean looking. The black mesh worked out as well. I will be washing her when I get it home tomorrow.

More adjustment to be made.....I don't like the slight gap on that quarter panel/bumper.

Looks great! I agree with you, tidy up the quarter/bumper a bit and you will be back in business

EZT · 04-01-2016, 07:32 PM

Very nice! I will be copying your front bumper when I do mine soon.

axmea? · 04-01-2016, 08:43 PM

The one in Laguna Hills? Isn't that too out of the way Raf?

Zbrah · 04-01-2016, 10:06 PM

Looking good Raf! I'm liking the black accents. Can you pm me how they charged to paint the front and rear bumper?

The distance isn't too bad considering I'm all over for work. Want to give them a shot.
