smoked ftw

 

Long time, no update. I painted my replica lip this weekend with a rattle can from automotivetouchup.com. It looks great and I am sooooooo happy with the final result. I spend $50 on the lip and $40 on paint/supplies and it looks fantastic. It is just a shade darker than the rest of the car but you can only tell from certain anges. For $90, you can't beat it.







I also got the T1R crank pulley to finish off the set.

 

please give your comments on the pulleys?!

 

I agree, lip looks good for $90. You are Ebay king!

 

 

Looks great man. I agree, Automotivetouchup.com makes great stuff. I bought some rattlecans from them to spray the "new" hood for my beater, and the test sprays came out surprisingly close to the original paint.

I'm soon going to redo my replica OEM lip that's all beat up, and I'll probably use some of their stuff for it as well.

 

They do make a difference in how fast the engine revs up and down. Throttle response is better, but overall acceleration feels the same. I probably wouldn't buy them again due to the hefty price tag, but I got a pretty good deal on the 4 accessory pulleys, and the crank pulley was a gift.

There is another thread in the Modifications forum that had a dyno showing a 4hp gain across the board. Not much, but it helps.

 

I was VERY surprised at the quality of the paint. Almost a perfect match and a pretty good shine without any wet sanding or buffing.

haha, thanks buddy.

 

It's so funny cuz I saw this thread a couple months ago, and I was searching for it lats night and here it is on the first page. I like where
you're going with the build. Keep it up.
