...my car should be complete! At least all the major things will be done with it.

Some of you may remember but I was in a fender bender somewhere in mid January. I was rear ended and my frame got bent. This happened as my AAS was in transit to my house. :(

Well, I get to drop my car off at the body shop on the 15th...next Monday. :) While it's there, I'm getting the frame fixed and the kit put on.

Also for my car, I ordered these rims in 18's. I should get them either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Only thing is I didn't order them in silver. I ordered them hyper black. They don't have a pic up on the site of my rims with that color so this is a different rim just so you can see the color. Remember, I got the top rim but in this color:

I also have a wing on the way for the car...here's a pic of the wing I bought. Flame me...

I also have a new set in Intrax springs on the way.

Here's an older pic of my car and then one from a few months ago. The last one is basically what it looks like now.

By the end of march, It'll be done. I can't wait!

There. That is your flaming for the day.

I think it will look pretty good when you are done with her. Personally, the wing isn't for me, but as long as you like it, cool!

sounds awesome...Im getting my AAS kit in May or early June. The wing actually fits the 99+ GA's.I've seen a couple with those wings and they actually do flow with the body.As long as theres not Alum then no need to be flamened:D

:) Thanks. The rims are actually the Exel BK-7's.

...and to think. When I bought my car, I was pretty happy b'c I knew I wouldn't be spending my money on mods. Who knew you could hook a GA up, LoL. It's like a drug now.

who would of thought a car could cause me to get the same way. Most of my free time is involved with it in some way or another.. And i always thought of myself as more of a truck fan!

hey mikenice how close does the wing match to the stock spoiler? i was thinking of getting that same spoiler or one on ebay motors called venom

The holes won't even come close to matching the stock ones. I'm having my body shop do the work for me.

I wouldn't of gotten that spoiler if I didn't have the AAS kit. They just go really nice together I think.

What do you plan on doing with your stock spoiler? I would be interested in it, that's if you are planning to get rid of it???

MikeNice
03-09-2004, 10:49 PM
Yeah, I plan on selling it. I actually have someone local who *might* want it. If not, I'll post here before it goes on eBay. Maybe I'll do a trade of sorts...

Like I said b4...I don't think it'll look good on a GA without the AAS kit.

Well...I got my rims today, WooHOO! Their tight as fu<k! Here's the pic. I just have to go up to Jacksonville tomorrow morning to by some spacers. I hope to have 'em on sometime tomorrow...

Rims are on. Here's some real quick pics. I also debadged her today. Looks pretty sweet to me. Keep in mind these pics were quick. Just giving a preview of each step until the final product. Intrax Springs are on the way and kit in a few days! :D I can't wait. When she's finished, I'm gonna take some real nice scenic pics to show her off!

Now I'm a little ticked off. The body shop called me today and said they were running a bit behind so now instead of dropping my car off on the 15th, they've bumped it back to the 22nd. Damn it. It figures that when you want something so bad, you somehow get screwed. Ah well...Hopefully I'll still have it back by the end of the month...

Just dropped my car off. I won't get it back for like a week and a half. I miss my baby already. They better treat her right!

Why did you have to get spacers for your rims, won't they fix right in the existing bolts?

MikeNice

The back hub sticks out too far. The hub hits the center of the rim before it can get tight enough to hold the drum steady.

Also, I've yet to get my car back. It's been almost a month without my baby! Damn it. I'm a bit ticked, but at least their taking their time to do it right. If the AAS didn't look so damn good once it's on, I woulda said screw it and junked that POS.

The shop had to fix all the problems with it. The sideskirts fit like absolute crap so alot of modding is being done to make 'em fit right. They were pretty pissed that they had the feather the fiberglass so the paint can look smooth.

Like I said...at least their taking the time to do it right but I just want her back. :( This no car thing SUCKS!

My brother has those rims in silver just beware there easy as hell to bend like every other after market wheels. He has a ton of dents and took a hammer and bent them back in but they are cracked where he hit them. Ill have a set of 17 inch ADR exxes wheels at the end of this month too. :)

Watch those potholes.

If these people want repeat business, they won't screw me.

I recieved my wing after I had already dropped it off at the shop. The wing is still sitting in my apartment. Next month I'm gonna just drop the wing off the get painted, then when it's ready to install, I'll bring my car in. It shouldn't be a project like this was.

33 hours and counting...

Man, I hope things work out for you.
I've been dicked around by a couple shops now, and I haven't even started getting a kit made.
I'm so pissed.
So much cash I'm sitting on wanting to wave it in their faces but still nothing.
Oh well, I have another lead today, and he's IN TOWN :)
Hopefully this goes well.
