Finally I've got some pics of the new beast. De/rebadged, Dewinged, trunk repainted, calipers painted, and hood spacers in.











and one with me...

and a few with my girlfriend and her caliber...





Whatcha think?

 

wtf is up with your hood?

 

what is the point of the hood spacers? I dont care about any advantage anyway though cause it looks like hell, but to each thier own.

whats the deal with hood spacers?? that would scare me lol

 

He has the hood conversion it pops up the opposite direction

 

yeah i wanna know the same thing...

 

if that were the case i would of took a pic with my hood up!

 

LOL, yeah. Otherwise it just makes it look like you rear ended someone and f'd the hood up...

 

Sweet, love the SS badge on the grill. Is that color matching paint on the calipers? Umm, i know its been said but uh...yeah. Hood spacers GOTTA go.

 

ok ok... About the hood spacers... Has anybody noticed that after the car is shut off or even just at a stand still that the engine coolant temp raises about 25degrees or so? With the hood spacers, that temp only raises about 15degrees. And besides, I like the look.

^^^No, the hood still opens normally. One day tho.

 

May I recommend that you just pull the weather stripping from the engine bay near the top of the hood?

This would allow that heat to escape your engine bay, without your hood looking all cattywompous (sp)

Short of a vented hood, this is the best option right now.

Other than that , nice ride bro,, I love the clean rear end, teh sex for sure

 

pics are nice...

 

^^^ I would, but that keeps the water out of the enginebay. I do intend on making an actuating plunget that will raise and lower the hood around the time a switch the hinges. But that's way in the future.

Thanks for the comments tho guys


Not quite, its leftover Caliper paint that I had from my Tib. I got it at Kregen for about $15ish.

 

hood spacers gotta goooooo!!!! try getting an fter market hood like this one...http://www.racingsolution.com/showpa...on=DisplayPart

 

^^^ too expensive. At least for now. I can only do a little at a time. The hood spacers only cost me 6 bucks. And I like them. Besides, I'm ganna go with an Evo style scoop anyways. Thanks tho.

 

Do it the ricer way! cut a hole in your hood and tape some electric radiator cooling fans in that hole. It'll add like 12.34 horse. 2 DUH WEEUWZ!

 

^^^ Awsome IDEA!!! ...............ya.......... no. Coulda been tho. Lol. I'm going to try to avoid "rice." However, what most think of as "rice" differs from my veiw.

 

Everyone's views on rice are different. I'm a little more laid back about that. If i see a honda with rims its not automatically "rice". And your ride is definitely not ricey.

 

^^^ I'm with you there

 

he wants to be able to see his engine blow when he forgets to shift at 7000 rpms......


lol j/k enlighten me as to why you would space your hood like that....looks good otherwise

 

I definitely like the laser blue even more

 

Thats how my hood looks, except i dont have any fancy hood things to do it. I'm pissed about it, dealer said I bent it, but once I get to my sponsor dealer for work, I'll get them to fix it for me.

 

the hood spacer thing sounds like a Corvette mod

first time I've ever heard of it though...

 

^^^ It's a common mod in Karea and with tibby owners. I am an ex-tibby owner. Had them on the tib too. Altho I'm going to shorten these ones when I stop being lazy on my days off. Lol...

 

Looks really hot wingless, good job
