Updated with new chopped and cropped pics on page 2.:)

The Chef 2007-03-02 05:41 PM

God damn that looks freakin great

tysonK 2007-03-02 06:09 PM

pretty good.

sperry 2007-03-02 07:43 PM

Needs brake duct inlets.

MattR 2007-03-02 09:20 PM

Are they going to color match the paint?

Springs, too. . . it's just begging to be dropped a bit. Looks good, though. :)

Bob Danger 2007-03-02 10:17 PM

That front lip sticks out as far as Jonny's nose.

I don't really like it, but to each his own.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-02 11:51 PM

^ The picture makes it look like that, it only sticks out like an inch.

Take alook at the side skirts in the first picture, and it looks like the color is a little off. It could just be the picture.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-03 12:30 AM

Um yeah... as I said in the first post all the pictures were taken with my phone. The spoiler, rear lip, sideskirts, front lip, front bumper, and hood were all painted the same color to match the rest of the car. I never planned to get all this stuff for my car(obviously I would have gotten wheels and suspension first) but they painted and installed everything and sanded and repainted my hood and front bumper and for EVERYTHING it cost me $FREE.95 so yeah I figure you would sport the kit even if the front does stick out a little far for your taste.

imprezif 2007-03-03 12:37 AM

wow that car looks great but since the colors dont match and your rolling on stockers i hope you only drive at night

tysonK 2007-03-03 12:38 AM

I think it matches.

Loren I hope your car explodes and when the paramedic finds your body, they will also find a blinking check engine light stuck in your forehead.

Joeyy 2007-03-03 08:22 AM

Looks good. I think you should clear your headlights. The only think I don't like is the big sticker on the rear window.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-03 09:00 AM

^Joeyy you must think just like me. I am clearing the headlights asap I just dont know weather to black them out or leave them the chrome color and the sticker on the back was just for pictures for their website. I am still going to keep a sticker on there, its just not going to me a moster on the back window.

Joeyy 2007-03-03 09:22 AM

Sounds like we need a headlight clearing party!.. I also want to clear mine. I'm just going to pick up the orange bulb for the turn signal. All the directions sound straight foward.

khail19 2007-03-03 09:31 AM

Looks good, and you can't beat free!

I was just razzing you the first time I said you needed wheels. You do... but if it was me I'd be rocking the stockers still too with my free body kit.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-03 03:21 PM

^when did you say I needed wheels?

JonnydaJibba 2007-03-03 03:27 PM

I like it. But yes, your car is now begging for wheels.

Bobby, shut your mouth Jew!

The first time you posted the kit. I think it was after the test fit. But apparently it mattered less than I thoguht it did. :lol:

MPREZIV 2007-03-04 02:36 PM

Lip looks too big...



(coming from a black guy...) :twisted:

Really tho, hopefully the pics don't do it justice, and it looks WaY better in person, 'cause that thing harkens to a cattle catcher in those pics...

Just kidding. I like it and don't think it sticks out to far. If it didn't stick out a little it wouldn't be functional. I'm sure Kaminari did extensive windtunnel testing, right? You know, at that one down off Kietzke... :lol:

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-05 08:30 AM

Oh all you lip haters, its been wind tested up to 135 and it does stick out a little bit but if you were to put a ruler on the front bumper its only like an inch. The lines make it look longer in that picture.

If they windtunnel tested it I am impressed. I bet many, if not most body parts and kits are not. Like that dude with the hood vent thingie... :lol:

Kaminari has been around forever. Their 280Z "Kaminari Kit" was the shit back in '82.

Oh, and btw I did tie yarn to the hood vent mesh and wind test it to well over 135mph.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-05 10:19 AM

^yarn hahahah:lol:

How much downforce does it provide at 135?

Bob Danger 2007-03-05 11:05 AM

I'd like to see how it stands up against a cone.

I hope that "wind testing" wasn't you out on 395. :eek:

Be careful... Mike's mom is the Aussie equivalent of a RedNeck... Imagine a trailer park, but instead of a Chevy on blocks and a pit bull chained up to it... it's a Holden and a crock.

Whatever you do, don't ask her if she's a member of a New Zealand rugby team.

sybir 2007-03-05 02:05 PM

Or offer her a Foster's.

The wheels help a lot. Sweet. Do you have any non-weird photos? Without the lense on them? I'd like to compare.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-08 11:19 PM

Yes the wheels make a 100% difference. Here is the normal first picture.

Oh, I thought you really swapped all those wheels onto the car...ok.

100_Percent_Juice 2007-03-09 08:07 AM

JonnydaJibba 2007-03-09 08:08 AM
