Well it took 2 months and most of you guys wont like it, but i dont care.









The inserts are painted gunmetal to match the rims. i think it looks alrite A bit hardcore for most of you i agree, but these pictures dont do it justice. tell me what ya think...

I'm not a big fan of the Bodykit but inserts look pretty good matched to your rims your Kevlar Carbon interior looks nice and your hood is hot. Good stuff man congrats.

[Pvc99gT]

the side skirts and rear bumper are "quasi-molded" there's no seam because it was filled with caulk and painted on the car. doesn't look as good as full out molding, but none of the problems you get with molding. the side skirts look really good without the seam. All i have to do now is wait 90 days for the paint to fully cure so i can get some graphix on there and then my tail lights are gonna get painted too. hes gonna see if he can do a transparent gunmetal, but if he cant hes just gonna go with the transparent red for the tails. its pretty much exactly how i pictured it.

i am a huge fun of the body kit. your car looks agressive, and is def one of a kind. could you get me some more pics of the whole thing.

one of the best lookin celli's we have.

[bojangles_8686]

Its very original.. a little much in my opinion, but it still looks really good! Did you get that hood off of somebody on this site?

I love it! Looks great. If had had the patience to do all that to mine id go for it in a second. Interior and exterior both look great. How much would you charge to do mine?

[presure2]

likin the custom work man....looks good!

[boosted_K2]

im not a fan of that kit, but i dont think it could have been done any better! congrats man. thumbs up!

[Phat_99CeliGT]

As with most people here, not liking the kit.

But that is some great work there man.

Lovin the fenders. Is that a kit like the Z3's??

Props on the customness

Anything built custom is worthy of praise IMHO.

Nice work.

[Supersprynt]

Fender looks badass - ur car is most definately unique, i like

[macavely]

car looks great....

[ToYCeLi8]

Fenders look great, but not much of a fan for the kit. This is definatly one of the most unique cars from the site. I like the interior consoul. Did you make that also or did you find it online?? Either way let me know I'm want it! Ill hook you up if you made it.

NICE car!!

Thanks for the unexpected positive reply! Ill get more pics up in January. Its christmas so no time for pics and im goin to florida tomorrow. ill take some pics after i get back! Heres the answer to a few questions...

Bojangles- the hood is custom. that is an Erebuni hoodscoop molded onto my stock hood.

subsolo- it'll be pretty pricey to copy this, and it took almost 2 months! its freakin perfect tho. my painter, tony, is such a perfectionist that he wants to respray the spoiler in the spring after the rest of the paint sets because there were some tiny imperfections in the fiberglass that he wants fixed. i had to really look hard to motice. You could do an engine swap with goodies for the same amount of money that was spent here. your choice...

Phat- They're M Roadster Fenders. Had to get just the pieces and mold em into my stock fenders. They were originally supposed to go on the hood, but im happy that we decided to put em on the fenders instead. i was gonna find a different vent or graphic to put on the fenders, but this looks so much better than that wouldve looked. the hood wouldve been a bit too busy and the fenders wouldve looked bare compared to the rest of the car.

ToY- My Red Carbon Fiber Dashkit was made by one of the big companies, but i forget which one, i know it was not torasport. they originally sent me a black/red dashkit. but i sent it back and got the RED/RED just look around for it. I'm gonna do all the rest of the accents in red carbon fiber if i can figure out how to do it and make it look good. the kit isnt perfect so if i figure out a better idea ill take it off and do whatever im doing. im gonna try to dye some fiberglass mat red and then epoxy it on the other accents so it looks like i have red carbonfiber accents. if not ill just do really shiny red and take off the dashkit. but i think ill be able to make the pieces to do it so it looks like CF.

I think i might end up redoing my interior so everything is red and gunmetal instead of red CF and black. Well only time will tell. Now im just waitin til the spring so i can get the spoiler resprayed, get the tail lights sprayed, and get my graphix put on. the kit isnt THAT bad, now is it?

[boosted_K2]

cool. but ya, make sure your painter doesnt go messing with that spoiler. fiberglass will always have spiderwebbing, he can paint 5cm worth of paint on it and it will still show through. so dont have him try to fix his work that is fine how it is, thats just one of the perks of urethane over fiberglass.

[97celicaca]

hey man i love absolutely everything. very unique.

[Pvc99gT]

well K2, im no paint expert, and not saying you're not but he is. so im gonna go with him on this one. everything else was perfect other than that and everything else is fiberglass. he called it "popping" so i dunno. hes doin it for free so what the hey. thanks celicaca

[boosted_K2]

lol its called spiderwebbing, you literally have to redo the fiberglass to get rid of it... but if he wants to waste the paint on it at his own expense more power to him hehe

[Andason]

[boosted_K2]

i know what im talking about... fiberglass has microfinite fibers, if you paint directly onto the fiberglass YOU WILL GET SPIDERWEBBING. that is why 90% of the companies gel coat the product, like you said you can bondo the entire thing if you want to... but bondo can crack after minimal wear. i know what im talking about, ive taken over a year of autobody, collision, repair and paint.

[boosted_K2]

can you get a pic of the "popping"?

[Pvc99gT]

ill get a pic of it when i get back. its almost impossible to see without owner's scrutiny haha. and i think it was gel coated. yea man it was primered/ wet sanded. TWICE. had nothing to do with the workmanship, had to do with how the fiberglass reacted to the paint. doesnt look like spiderwebs, seriously looks like the paint popped, like a bubble or somethin. he said the fiberglass was really shoddy, and im not sayin it wasnt. im not gonna argue with him. thanx for the comments

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

I gotta admit. When I first saw that, I thought it looked fugly. I've looked back at it a couple of times though, and I have to admit it is growing on my. I actually think I like it. I'd love to see some more pics of the full car. Mad props, and I must admit, they're all some pretty creative and original mods. Good job!

[NEVERSTOP]

I gotta agree with both of you... k2 and pvc - I also think you two might be talking about 2 differnt things.. I have delt with spiderwebbing and its a pain to fix... as for the "popping" I have heard of that also but have never experinced it.

PVC I like your car!.. I wanted that kit real bad when I 1st got my celi but desided agianst it in the end, but I still really like the kit. The fenders I personally dont care for but they do look good... and well for the hood



heres mine its for sale if anyone is intersted

[forkee]

wow, how unique! i like it! =)

[ghostdog]

nice job man. like others said, the kit isn't my favorite, but props on the originality and quality install. keep up the good work.

[snadman]

I don't agree with anyone that says this kit is ugly. This kit is hardcore and I was looking where to get it myself. I love the kit and the hood, the fender gills are alright...but that is my only complaint about your whole project. I think this car looks incredibly awesome. Good job!

[Pvc99gT]

haha snadman my only advice on getting this kit is this DO NOT DO IT! took forever to get here from germany and had to go through customs, customs opened up my boxes and searched all my **** AND THEN made me pay another $200 to get it out of customs. i hear that there are a few companies that will import this thing and it ends up bein cheaper that way but it takes even longer, the guy i talked to said it would take 2 months minimum to get it here so i was like screw that and just got it direct. it was a pain in my ass for so long but ****... lookin at it now just takes it all away. NEVERSTOP- props on the hood hehe. and as for the kit i never liked the rear so i got the invader rear and the invader spoiler without the top deck goin on. looks sweet as hell. now all i need are some pics of it with a hot chic all up on it on the cover of some magazine eh? after this summer im gonna have some power to back up these good looks, so mark my words, this car WILL be on a cover. yea the thing with the kit the whole time was that i knew the pics of it on the website didnt do it justice, gotta visualize the goal, and then you will reach it. well i just got back from some partyin on the beach so im out. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!
