That 50 bucks should include primer, 1EO paint matched paint, and clear coat. The only thing I gotta worry about is not sanding it down properly.

don't forget the flex additive

Good buy man ! Where do you stay in san diego , I haven't seen your car around , you cant miss my car . Im planning on getting that rear disc conversion from Garm too .

Brian,

Glad you are happy with all the parts. I am very sorry I couldn't be at the shop to meet you and see you off with them -- I think I was dropping my Yaris off at Art's shop that day.

Notable: Brian fit ALL OF THAT into his car to take home -- Yaris FTW!

I appreciate the business very much - it's a super thin margin for car parts, but if the rent for the shop gets paid, I can keep it going.

Another shipment from Thailand on Monday -- some new stuff for you guys.

Thanks again Brian - your car is going to rock!

I wanted to buy some more parts when I was there but I don't think I could fit anything else.
I should be taking my car to the body shop this week for the lip kit. I thought I saw some new
sedan taillights at your shop but didn't take a good look. I hope you're getting more of the UR
braces in. Installed my 5000k HID kit today from xenon vision. Will post pics later.

I'm in lakeside. I'm gonna install the brakes after I get the lip kit installed. I will
probably do it at my brother's house in Moreno Valley because I can't do it at my
apartment. I'm surprised I haven't seen your car around.

Too bad you were gone when I got there we could've done a test fit on my car. I want
those headlights.

Brian · 02-24-2009, 04:34 PM

Installed my HID kit sunday and the wheels today. Here's some pics. Gonna take my car to the body
shop tomorrow for the lip kit.

BLAZINBLUEVITZ · 02-25-2009, 09:05 AM

those wheels are HOT on that color....

eii · 02-25-2009, 09:31 AM

Cooooooooooooooool! Rear disc mod is seriously awesome stuff!

Brian · 02-25-2009, 12:17 PM

Looks like I'll be doing all the prep work, painting, and installing of the lip kit myself.
Body shop are just gonna be to expensive and take too long. The front and rear lips
will be easy but the side skirts need to be straightened out which is gonna require
some fiberglass work. I may or may not use the side skirts. Haven't decided yet. Also
the edges of all the pieces need to be smoothed out. The kit is still very good quality
though just a lot of prep work to be done. As for the rear disc brake conversion and lowering
springs, I will try to one of them done this weekend.

Yeah, the side skirts have to be cut the ends where the 90 degree part is to fit properly. I don't think it'll be too bad.
