Painted the ugly gray front bumper support and removed the Washer Fluid Tank since I don't use it anyway. Every little pound off the front of the car counts! lol

Got some Carbon Fiber Sail Peices coming in, you know the body panel that is plastic behind the door right before the sail. Those faded out and I saw these so I decided to buy them. They look neat but not sure about this whole carbon fiber thing. On the up side they are 100% pure carbon fiber :cool:

I also got an S2000 Push Start button coming from a honda part shop for 33 bucks. And I got a Qtech electric Borla plate coming in for my exhaust. I think I am going to make a custom switch panel for the ash tray with some Stainless Steel I have laying around.

I will get some pics up tomorrow of what I have done. But does anyone have a panel in the ash tray? If so got any pics?

Sounds good. Glad to see the carbon fiber sail panels are being made now, I had that idea for them a little over a year ago.

There ya go. I havent recieved the Start Button or Cutout yet :( But I did recieve those carbon fiber things..... and they are stick on! :mad: So I emailed the guy and told him to send my money back and i will send his stickers back. He charged me 6.99 for shipping..... but they came in a cardboard letter thing with a .60 cent stamp. How the hell does that cost 6.99....... did I pay for the guys gas and lunch to get to the post office??? :2guns:

Anyway I will be fighting that but look for more here at the end of the week. And POST PICS OF YOUR SWITCHES!

Painting look good.

Also I'm pretty sure all those sail panel things are mounted with double sided tape :dunno:

And one more thing, it's called shipping and HANDLING for a reason :dunno:

Well the ones I got where like stickers.... no stick on thick plastic. :rolleyes:

But yea shipping and handling, only cost like 2 bucks for this package LOL. He put it in his damn mail box and if he got fance then I guess he could have drove to the post office. :o

That guy has some very questionable pieces. I bought some interior overlays from him. I don't think many of his customers are "happy" with the product. He states everything in the auctions, even the high S/H. I just thought it was worth a shot to try his stuff. Like most, I didn't leave a negative feedback, because his auctions state the facts. The quality of the products is not up to par. But thats why the prices are cheap. He always says send it back for a refund and that is what I would do.

How do you guys paint that bumper support without taking it off? Seems like it would be quite a bit of work?

I took mine out to paint it. I think I am going to paint the metal parts when it gets warmer out side. But I guess you could tape everything off and do it but it would be a real pain in the ass and I think overspray would suck.

Anyways, I got some stuff in today.

I took mine off to paint it!! Not hard to do. It is one of those thingst that nobody notice at the shows, untill a Z/TA park next to you with it unpainted, then the eye sore becomes apparent!!

Painting that bumper support was the first thing I did to my engine compartment. Now everyone in our group has them painted :D
I'll go to car shows and notice guys will have a spotless engine compartment and their bumper support is still unpainted.
