quick question. anyone with a painted CB hood or any painters here . could you tell me if i cost extra to paint a CF hood and how much harder it is?

[punkuup5150]

aww your getting it done before me >_< well i have to play catchup now lol. but to paint the cf hood shouldnt cost ne more ur going to have to prime and paint it just like a normal hood but u might have to work on the cf before u prime to work out any inperfections that might be in the resin coat. so it might cost a little more but if ur helping i dont see why they would charge u to much more esp if the hood can just be primed and painted. but i could be wrong there might be a whole other step im missing but ive also never painted on cf.

Front and rear strut bars for the coupe (Striking4)

what, where, why?

please elaborate on the rear strut bar for a coupe?

where on earth did you find one, how does it fit, and why did you get one? the rear end is more than rigid enough as it is.

also bump, i wanna see some pics!

[punkuup5150]

after i received them i found out they were home made i wont be useing the rear i just have it lol and ill prolly end up redoing the front the welds look like crap and it needs to be refinished. and i wasnt sure how the rears even bolted up but with having a sub in the back i wont be useing it so it will ither go un used or junked or given to someone who thinks they can use it after eveything is done. one of these days i need to bring everything outta the garage and take some pics but theres so many boxes i dont wanna repack everything lol

[808celica]

where's the pics at??? i already painted my car

[punkuup5150]

im slow and i keep adding parts to the list lol

[SeverX13]
