Much like the project itself, this thread and any future threads, will be slow to develop and get dialed in so bare with me.

I see you decided not to mold the side skirts, do you plan to make them detachable? if so, how to you plan to install them

They will also be cut at the front edge of the doors/back edge of fenders so that the fenders can still be removed once the side skirts get bonded. Last edited by umscooby; 09-04-2023 at 02:45 AM. |

Edited for length.

this is the route that I took, front fenders MUST be detachable unless you don't plan to use the car however I don't like the side skirt molded look and trying to see how to make it look more OEM-ish |

See above reply, rocker moldings were split to allow fender removal.

...finally
Using two different software programs I was able to resolve all of my photo upload issues. Added some photos and reorganized the whole thread so it shows the progression in a more orderly fashion. Last edited by umscooby; 08-05-2021 at 11:51 PM. |

Holy crap. Definitely subbed to this!! This is an absolute dream build. I shall wait for each update with baited breath.
Also, that sucks about your seibon rear deck lid! Do you know if all their stuff is trash with Fitment for each year body style? Asking for my 11 WRX hood… haha |

I don't have personal experience with their products on other body styles but I do have a couple friends with GD's who have their parts and are happy with them. To me it's a bit subjective as I just saw one of my friends with a bug eye and he's had one of their hoods for years and just bought one of their wings. The wing only makes contact with the decklid for about 4 or 5" at each side but it has huge frown in it and is literally 1/4" off the decklid in the center, like seeing daylight all the way through. But according to him it fits great and he doesn't mind that 2/3 of the wing does not sit down flush on his decklid so... |

How was the MTB ride????
I did think of something from your txt. When I got my JDM cover painted Painter advised that Acadia Green paint code too old for current mixing computers(make paint hue/color from weight of various colors) Took additional work but got color correct. I am sure your shop can do the same Cheers ! |

Haha, great thanks! Bike parks have come a long way since I started riding, like they didn't exist. I have one spray out, shown in the thread that was done by my local shop (guy I usually use for paint stuff), but I am anxiously awaiting more spray outs to arrive in the mail from the shop out in Denver that has my car. I'll let you know when I get them. Thanks! Last edited by umscooby; 09-26-2021 at 09:59 AM. |

So got word from body shop that in one week they will have the entire exterior prepped and ready for paint. Only caveat is that now I've decided to leave the car in their hands to finish out the engine compartmant. As in filling holes, bodywork, paint. Means I will be making a trip out to D-town to pull the motor and accessories that are in their way.
Was planning to do the bay myself with a buddy to save a few bucks but the car is in capabable hands so why deal with towing back over the mtns. There is ton of work left, and my own work schedule is full. Started this project in Nov 2018, so def getting excited. Did the swap, cage, V-mount and everything else on the car myself, including initial hacking of car and fitting body kit. I can tell you that finally finding someone else I trust to work on my stuff has been a huge relief and has freed up a lot of time. A lot of time that is to work my ass off to pay for this thing. Can't wait to see it in living color! 2 photos added to post 13, rear view mirrors first look. Last edited by umscooby; 04-21-2022 at 04:45 PM. |
