Then you have to add painting and installation when those parts arrive.

as of today, he has all the parts, no parts from Japan needed all OEM parts he said. he told me fromm today it will be at most 1.5 weeks..

Just give him time, I know he was really busy, especially from HIN. I didn't have my car for about three weeks but its was okay since I have a daily and wasn't with out a car, but when it comes out it'll be perfect!!! He was able to finish my car for HIN even though he was very pressed for time.

Thanks for all the comments. I had a real tough time deciding on which route I wanted to go with as far as lip kits, as well as competent shops to perform the work, but I'm very happy with the results

the only reason why im pressing is becuz my 30 day rental car is due next weds and if its longer than 30 days i gotta pay for it myself. since my crappy insurance wont cover the deductible, my pockets are low. haha i hope its done next week. but iknow his work is good and joes a great guy. we worked out a side deal and hopefully i can help his shop out...EVERYONE TAKE YOUR CAR TO BACKYARD CREATIONS!

Car looks killer... love the white & gold combo.

Good to see Joe working his magic. Hard to believe it's been almost
two years since he painted my GS!

looking super clean, i love the shaved look of the Vertex. How come no one molded the front and rear lips to the bumpers yet? that would look even better IMO

ATTENTION!!!

I'm not sure but, I think you're RIGHT REAR Tire is rotating in the WRONG direction! In pic #3 the tread pattern is different...the arrows are suppose to look like ^, not like v!!! I only noticed because I too, have Toyo T1Rs.

You should change it ASAP. You can hydroplane if your tires are not rotating in the right direction (happened before to a friend)...especially the rears for us since we are RWD. I'm sure there are other things that can go wrong but, that is a serious safety issue you should fix.

Just a heads up.

Other than that, AWESOME CAR!

lol I know, I had that rim repaired, and when they remounted that tire I had him flip it due to my camber wear. I still need to have my other tire flipped, then swap the rims right to left and left to right. I don't drive it on a daily basis, just trying to find time to get it done, and find a place to flip tires. Thanks!
