Picked up some free tweeters from wreckers the other day and managed to install them :) Really happy of how they sit and how good they are!

Just paint the bars and wing lol. Whoever you're going to is over charging you or is doing dodgy resprays.Quote:

Painting a bar and wing shouldn't cost more then $500 and if painting your car for $500 isn't a diy backyard job then its kinda dodgy.
Average price a decent panel shop should be charging you is $850-$1000 for EVERYTHING. (Strip car, prep/repair, paint, assemble, detail) Drive in drive out. Any more and you're getting ripped off.Quote:

DT Panels and MJ Jap Motorsports charge approx $2.5k excl. engine bay and door jam. Dunno about assemble though.
I was talking about just the bars and the wing. And it needs to be a top quality job. Full doors closed respray i'd expect like 2.5-3k. 4K + for jams+bay.Quote:

I do this work daily LOL. I wasn't talking about a whole respray for 850-1k i was talking JUST wing and front/rear bars.Quote:

wow good idea
nice work and detail
wow good idea
nice work and detail
Bought Ek T bracket and timing side bracket for epic b18 actionnnnn hnnnnng
Got all my new detailing kit, and have been hitting it up hard to get the best results! recently cut / polished / wax the whole car, and detailed the whole interior and trims, very happy with my results
http://i49.tinypic.com/34jdj6o.jpg
Got any direct sun or direct light into lens to show for swirls?
Eg,
After left, before right
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...pse81f550d.jpg
You using a rotary or randomorbital?
No swirls or scratches, i use hand applicator pads, but also have a KEN auto buffer, (buying a meguiars g110v soon) , ive detailed probaly 15-25cars in the last 1 month, all with no swirls and scratches left behind,
I use only meguiars products, even though their expensive.. your left with showroom results, the way i see it, you pay for what you get...
I recently also did fellow friend/member p3akin integra type r , results where astonishing on how well the compound cut worked into the paint and the polish/wax @ the end to finsh of your hard work
the before and after on the pic shows it also . thats just the cut stage , not even polishing and look @ difference
http://i45.tinypic.com/2yzms76.jpg
Ive also noticed, ive been using yellow as the main hand applicator pad colour, but for cutting i believe maron/burgandy is defiently the best colour, yellow for polishing / black for waxing.
Here is another customer car, that had swirl marks that bad it was the worst car ive seen so far.
after 2:30 - 3hrs of work.. got it looking like this

You need tapered for aftermarket wheels,so they seat correctly
see the difference
