FOOMAN Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey mate, just wondering about the extractors, I'm sure I missed it in the thread somewhere but did they come with the car or did you buy them? If so, where from and how much? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nahh bought them Contact slo-030 I think they where 150. He gets them from new Zealand great quality. Got my rims ons today, put guards on, cable tied my kamei lip on. It's starting to look pretty tough. On one rim the weights fell off so got to take that one back to be rebalanced.

zacharyo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 not going to lie, this thing looks f*#ckn awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Loving it ! What you going to do with your guards ? Because the boys in blue are not going to like it as much as me . My next build will be a Toyota wagon of some form . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Well I'm changing them do they look like the original guards but they will be wider. I'm scraping my first attempt and doing it propally. Also got my chrome bar today and it seems to be to small. I'll post pictures later but at the moment to busy working on the car. Thanks guys **edit** new chrome bar its a tad short but a trim of the end caps should make it fit nicely. its probally only 3-5mm on each side. it pretty much brand new and only has a very small ding that you can hardly notice. also started working out the guards been playing around with cardboard. thinking this is a better way of doing and can't really see how cops can pick on it to much. plan is to cut slits in the guard pull it up then fill in the gaps. let me know what you guys think thanks Chris.

FOOMAN Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 That'll be extremely widebody/gangsta once its done :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well my idea works on the widebody scenario. By splicing the top of the gaurd and adding metal to get the wide body effect. The Splice of the guard will start 100mm or so behind the front lights so no metal will be needed to make the front lights line up correctly. After the the splice, metal will be added into the splice to push the panel outwards. The lower bolting holes pf the guard will be out of position and there will be quite a large gap between the door and guard, but metal can be added to clean it up, maybe some vents to give it a racing look.
