Well I decided to start putting the drift kit on, I had been playing with the idea of taking it to a shop and having someone else do it and myself doing it.
So after cleaning the car a little, trimming the passenger side skirt and drilling 5 holes into the side of the car - that is a weird feeling. I got it on, mind you it is only beeing held on by screws.
Well here it is...

I can't imagine drilling holes into my car. :ugh: Good job though - and a really neat looking picture... :goofy: :biggrin:

:goofy: Yeah that pic didn't turn out to bad since it was taken from my phone. But need to get the camera out, it cost twentyfive cents to email each pic to my computer.:mad: I have a verizon RAZR V3 but becuase mine is not a V3M I can't download anything by cable and I would have to pay full price to upgrade my phone due to those stupid contracts.
I'll get the driver side on in the morning make sure it fit's good then....
:banana: :wiggle:BONDO PARTY:wiggle: :banana:
I might get into one of those moods where I get started and the next thing I know It will have the bumbers on and who know what else. :shrug:

u wont want to use bondo for the seams use resign with little strands of fiberglass in it....that will give u the strenth needed to prevent it form cracking after its painted......
side not , ur lucky, my side dont fit at all, their two short around the do and are warped to hell....oh and the bumpers go on easy .....just make sure the mounting points are good
Are you planning on painting the whole car, or just the kit to match? :shrug:
The picture didn't look like a camera phone picture at all. :eek: Not bad. But yeah, switch to the digital so it doesn't cost you extra money. :ugh: I have Nextel/Sprint and they're forever charging extra for something. :rolleyes:

NEXTEL :banghead: I just got rid of my nextel.... went to verizon. :banana: Best move I've made so far.
Yeah I'm going to be repainting the whole car. I made a drawing of the car so I can do up some ideas of how I want the car to look. Once I have a couple of ideas I'll post them to get some opinions. :cover:
My contract expires in December (I think...) I'm really debating on what I want to do with it. It's convenient because of the direct connect, but the service sucks. :disgust: Anyway... :)
Sounds like you have some good plans in the works. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :biggrin:
