Looking nice!

Do have one question though, why the pop rivet/screw on the front splitters? Was fitment way off?

I had slight issue with fitment on my first set, but I just screwed them in place with the default screw points, then I caulked the living hell on the inside, then made a nice edge for the visible part, then taped it down for 10 plus hours to cure. Once cured its solid, and leaves some room for play so just the slightest tap won't bust the fiber glass.

I really do not understand why people mix and match the ssiii look with the trd stuff. They don't flow at all because the trd's are taller than the others. (That's just the artist in me ranting lol)

The car is coming along nicely though!

Thanks!

They're actually screws not rivits. The fitment wasnt far off just the point where the screws are, stuck out about half an inch.. I went that route because i want to be able to remove my bumper if i ever need to.

I used to be against mixing and matching.. But I like the height of the TRDs but i dont like the look of the TRD fronts..plus they happen to boyh be up for sale smile.gif

I agree. I have a TOM's lip and OEM sides,
but i'm looking for TRD rears most likely.
I just don't like the looks of the SS-III splitters in the rear.

Sweet man. I never really wanted trd rears, I didnt think they flowed well with the sideskirts, but this changes my mind. I fin with my ssiii rears it seems to angle the rear of the car up more, this looks lower than them thumbsup.gif

Can't wait to see it all on/twisted platidip. Haha

Thanks Timmy smile.gif

Im excited to see how its gonna turn out.. Other people on the Dip Forums have been experimenting, so I'll sort of be winging it, lol.

Waiting on the other half of my order to come in.. Should get it by tomorrow, if my tracking number is correct wink.gif

I guess the DYC store has had back to back delays in their supply so its been tough to sit and wait for it all, lol.

Yeaaaa my order was delayed too and that was quite some time back.

And I just ran out of DIP, I actually need some more =P - Cans of it too, because the local home depot doesn't sell it anymore.

Andddd, just saw the splits and smoked fronts..loving it.

Got all my paint and extras in hand now..



That is,
3 gallons of MATTE WHITE
1 gallon of MATTE CLEAR
1 gallon of GLOSSIFIER

....and 100g of Frost White PEARL pigments!

so the matte clear, gloss, and pearl pigments will be mixed for a pearly top coat biggrin.gif

And hopefully have a SATIN PEARL WHITE finish!

other members of the DYC forums have had promising final products so I'm pretty excited.
