been a long time since i posted lol but here ya go

just washed her up today and noticed the paint match isnt as good as i want wich is weird cause its the same body shop that have done all my work

thinking of having the rear bumper and side skirts smoothed into the car and i dont no if i want a spoiler or not dont want a big jap tuner style one for sure any ideas?

Welcome Back - still enjoying Cyprus I see!

I'd keep it de-spoilered, but i'm biased. I think smoothing the kit would definitely improve the look, but repairing any damage would be a pain.

Is the colour match different of the plastic panels? I ask because that seems to be a common thing with all cars between metal and plastic body panels.

Welcome back. I've not seen that body kit before, what make is it.

ozzie · 28th February 2009, 05:44 PM

its a fibreglass kit, the front and side match just the rear is a tiny bit lighter...

its a veilside front and rear from a RX8 the guy hand made them from nothing, well he had my rear bumper to work with lol thats it

I've got the Veilside kit on my aerotop. The bodyshop smoothed the skirts and rear spats in, and to be honest, I think it looks a lot better. Only problem will be if you need to change the wings or bumper!

I'm looking at venting my front wings, but I'm going to have to break the skirts of to do so.

I do like the rear diffuser, tidy's up the rear end a treat.

Smoothing out the joins can look superb but doesnt usually last long before you get cracks, very dependant on how well the kit fits and also the state of the rds you have to drive on.

Stiffer suspension doesnt help either.

I'd go with wingless if you dont want o/e or TRD etc little lips dont look right imo

Different that's for sure, fair bit of work has gone into that I sure.

Personally I wouldn't get the lines smoothed in, as Dunk said it will almost certainly crack. Wingless for me, not keen on big aftermarket stuff.
