well msa was a fast ship to get here but fedX DAMAGED MY FRONT CLIP SO its on its way back in the moring and there sending me a new one monday but the rear went on well.. it was a tight fit and i removed my rear under bumper but hey weighs a ton and lighter is better now that it fitS itS on to rust removing and bondo smothing

 

Big improvement over the stockers. Very nice red. Bummer on the front though. Atleast you get a new one to replace it though. Post some more pics when you get it.

 

Looking good! Better hope you don't get rearended with no real bumper back there.

 

Iam think i better watch the kick outs shes going to be alot lighter back there......... when i ran her after i got it on , she sounded diff the clip makes a good echo

 

it really sucks having this front piece and not be able to install it i hate waiting hatch struts came when fedx came so that was a little better also the motorsports z zx part @ accessories book came also he forgot to drop it by with the bumper skirt ..well anyway they have alot of new stuff at motorsprots its nice thick 168 page book they put out this time i see that they do have a black and crome cusco strut bar for a bill $110.00 not to bad priceing also the crane xr3000 for $145 ..sweet

 

Hey red how much did you pay for shipping on that kit from msa

 

It was $495.95 for the hole thing shipped out so .......like $96.00 to ship just to ship

 

holy **** red... did you rob someone??? you've spent like 2 grand in the past two weeks!

 

Just wait until I have time to post pics ..... Looks good RED cant wait to see her done.

 

no i dont steal ...i got a four of a kind on Let IT RIDE 50 to 1 times $15

 

I Wll Post A Pic Of My Rear Bummer Cover Paint Black Later.... I Did That Today For My Mod Work.... But I Really Want To Say Some Things About These Msa Body Kits These's Kits Look Cool But The Are Made Like Crap....... I Really Like Msa's Stuff Most Of The Time But These Bumper Cover Are Brittel And Not Well Made The Seems Are A Little Off And My Rear Needed Alot Of Sanding ...and Still Looks Like It Could Take Alittle More ..this Will Be Done When My Car Makes It To A Body Shop ..i Need Help In When It Come To Painting.HOPEFULLY THEY WILL PICK ME OUT A WELL PRESSED FRONT PIECE THIS TIME.. But Really Befor You Spend $500.00 On One Of These Make Sure You Have Alot Of Sand Paper .. MABE THE MOLD FOR THIS KIT IS GITTING OLD

 

hey red, if I'm not mistaken those are fiberglass pieces, are they not? If not, just disregard this post. But almost any fiberglass part you buy, especially something large and complicated like an airdam will more than likely have to have some work done to make it fit right. When these parts are mass produced alot of the steps required to get the part perfect are omitted inorder to have a larger, cheaper out put of parts. Most of the time, the parts get pulled from the mold too early. And fiberglass is usually just layed up by hand a left to cure in open air. Anyways, my point is, if the part will even mount up to the car without some elbow work, be happy. Thats more than a lot of Civic owners can say about their kits. In reality, most fiberglass body kits are gonna need a fair amount of massaging to get them to fit just right. When you pay extremely high dollar for limited run kits, then you should expect a perfect fit and finish. See how well an ings or Veilside kit fits a car compared to a Kaminari. No comparison. But hopefully atleast the next one wont be damaged.

 

I HOPE ITS NOT but i live at THE END OF THE WORLD way away from where ever there made... That means that it has to be with FEDX along time let me say this about fedx they suck ..When they picked up the front it was this kid 18 TO 20 years old in a small truck marked FEDX ON THE SIDE ...He had drivin over here from seattle , he had his truck so packed full of **** that we could hardly fit the box in there ...He was just craming **** left right.He didnt give a crap about any one's packages he was just Trying to get to the next stop as fast as he could so he could get home ..SO lets hope that it comes all nice and .................pertty

 

Did you buy the side skirts too!?!?

 

No i didnt by the sides YET... I like the crome peice that is there now but mabe some time i will ...i extened my CAN today i like the look it gave it... skirt all paint CAN all fixed DAM i want my front ......

 

$30 bills to weld my CAN muffler TODAY ..I HATE THE GUYS AT ARE MUFFLER SHOP THERE JERKYASS BASTEREDS....IT ONLY TOOK 5 MINS OF WORK HE SOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR 10 BUCKS

 

Welding such a rare commodity these days. People take advantage of that stuff all the time. As soon as I got the time and money, it's welding 101 for me. I think its a skill anybody who works on their own car should have. That, alignments, and tire changes are the only thing I pay to have done to my car as it is. Save myself some money and take welding off that list. You live in a small area? I had some guy quote me $60 to weld my stock muffler back on my car after it fell off. F*** that!! I took to a couple other places til I found someone to do it for a $20 bill. But if you dont have different place to choose from, what can you do but learn it yourself.

 

true J very true

 

My friend got his whole exhaust system from the header back welded togther for $30. And that included the cost of the new pipes. You guys are getting ripped off.

 

thats what i was thinking

 

$12.94 at Autozone, and a trip to my friend's house to use his welder is all it takes for me to get an exhaust. Of course, I won't be running anything besides a straight pipe out the side [SCCA's ITS-category has no noise restrictions as far as I know].

Looks like it's coming along quite nicely, Red. I think that wing is killer too - looks like its off an Rx7 ... ?

 

yeah, looks like a 2nd get RX7 wing..

 

.......I GOT the front all on ...i had some fitting problems and i still need to paint it but it went ok .... let me say that it was alot....... OF WORK if you plan on doing this be ready for anything to go wrong ..i poked my RATE. and it was leaking a little water but i J/B welded it..tested it and it seems to be holding... i am going to have to buy a msa one if it keeps leaking but ALL IN ALL it went well i cant beleave that i poked that thing.... stupied stupied stupied head hopefully it will hold for a bit ...i also went with HOOD PINS instead of the front flip up style ..i got my bumper jacks push all the way in and the hood would just hit the front when i flip it up ..so i didnt want to mess UP the new clip up by cutting it ....so i just went with hood pins it made life eazyer and i like the look...bleach thinks for the help with the bumper jacks pushing them in went alot eazyer after i let the air out my front had been hit at some point in my cars life and gitting this to fit right was A PAIN IN THE *** ..but WORTH EVERY MIN...

 

well its still leaking any one have one laying around that they will sell for cheep it has it have the trany lines for the AT

 

very nice red, good work. i only wish i had time to work on mine. it feels like its been forever since i have been to the shop to work on my Z. i wanted it done by this summer but since i took on a 3rd job i havent touched her. i gotta get my garage cleaned up so i can work in there late at night instead of always having to rely on the shop. oh well, cant rush it.
