Yeah, sad part is this new phase of aforementioned cars are the most annoying of all. Some supercharged new impala on dubs tried to race me one time, I hardly ever race anyone but this *** just wouldnt leave me alone. So I dropped it to second (thats where the car sounds most like a jet engine ) and pulled a half car ahead as I was going sideways just to mess with him, figuring he would be smart enough to just drive off with a shriveled *****. After I shifted into third I just drove regular, he just kept on it for a about 5 more seconds after I was clearly not racing anymore. After he was done being gay, he slowed down looked over at me and said, "that turbo aint cuttin it!!!!" I laughed, rolled up my window and drove off.

 

Much better, love the color

 

Hey that was a great description. You know what it is some people like the real OEM look an some dont. But when you do a half as s job at first you make the bumpers look trashy. I like the more sleeper look with real power under the hood. I was going to get a side shot with it lowered an all but when i took the car out today, I thnk I destroyed the stock tranny plus now the car wont start. Dam n high performance motors. hahaha

 

what brand was the old bumper?

 

I think if a kit fits properly, then who cares. trill2go, which one is authentic and which is a replica, #1, #2 or #3

hope you don't mind about the pic boost! Just tryin to prove a point.
#1


#2


#3
I hope you don't mind jeff.

 

looking good.

 

From my understanding, cost.

 

am just assuming the replicas aren't as good quality due to materials or fitment; i'm not sure how it is with kits for the sc, but initially it can be hard to tell which one is the rep and which one isn't; again, generally assuming that it becomes evident which ones are reps and originals after a few months of scraping and pounding.


either way, i'm all for quality products that fit well and don't shatter after one bump, brand name or not. didn't mean to come off as otherwise.

 

Replicas usually have gap issues since they are usually created from molds of originals and in worse cases, molds of replicas. Bad fitment usually comes from the fact that people that buy cheap kits, usually don't spend the money on a good shop to spend some time getting the fitment real tight.

 

I would say, with most fiberglass products you will have to do some prepping and modifying if necessary. Here's original wald side skirts pictured below, fitment wasn't too hot, but the front lip and rear bumper fit great. Usually these problems can be remedied with fiberglass and sanding. And in most cases you will need to do less work to an original part, and you still might have to do some modifying.

 

raceonusa wow thats a BIG gap its nasty. Were you able to fix it? Well I like the vertex kit but it cost just way to much about 2.5k? or rather spend 1k for it and use the other 1.5k for others..

 

if we end up making that kit, we will definitely fix the side skirt gap on our version.

 

THANK U JESUS!!!! lol...
it looks soo much better. good job

 

I want the rims...there sooo tiight

 

raceonusa, do you have a pic of the rear of the car showing the top of the rear windshield? it seems to have some kind of small lip on the top of it...
