very good. but messed up around the grill area. try mounting it on the inside.

lckyrocket 07-23-2004 10:35 AM

Yeah, that did suck. How should I mount it best? I was having some trouble.

dude...dont leave such a rude comment.
event if u r joking too...
btw nice skyline...i think it is alot better the it being yellow

lckyrocket 07-24-2004 10:51 AM

element sk8er- what type of stuff were you eating when you were a baby? or do you still have reoccuring real-life images of it every so often?

Thanks for all the POSITIVE comments guys!

Geckoboy 07-24-2004 05:13 PM

plz...dont stoop to his level

lckyrocket 07-24-2004 06:35 PM

ok, sorry, i dont know what I was thinking.

skklown 07-24-2004 08:38 PM

for the mesh grill....take it out...trim a couple centimeters off the sides till it sits flush with the body. then take it out, put some superglue on it and mount it. i think ur car looks good. its a unique color for a skyline!

lckyrocket 07-24-2004 11:27 PM

Thanks for the tip! Yeah i think the color is cool and never done before. I did clear tail lights and put on a different spoiler and I will have pics up soon.

newbitowner 07-24-2004 11:57 PM

the grille holes are too big...try a window screen.

lckyrocket 07-25-2004 10:39 AM

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I will stick with this size of mesh. It was mesh made for sliding doors and is already painted silver so I dont have to worry about anything. I think the size is fine to my liking.

Thanks

Ummm I know you allready said the size of holes isn't gonna change but, I would consider it. Screen door mesh is finer and bends well. You can paint it silver and make it look better but make sure you mount it on the inside after you paint that front bumper again. ;) Just my 2 cents worth of advice....

hotrod29728 08-05-2004 04:02 AM

Nice job of painting it BTW the color is unique and if I were you I would do some silver graffics with silver light cups and silver backs to those clear lenses. You know to make the clear lense stand out more...

eLeMeNt_sK8er04 08-08-2004 04:13 AM

dude...i cant help but realising that your lights are colored in too!!:eek: did you do that unpourpous or did you paint to hard and it seeped into the light? you might take them of and color them in silver again

lckyrocket 08-08-2004 09:54 AM

Yeah, I am gonna paint them in silver, dont worry, I just didn't mask off the inside light :)

hotrod29728 08-08-2004 09:52 PM

Yeah it is gonna look sweet... I just painted my Supra and I'm getting ready to mount it back onto the body here in a little bit... Let us have more pix of it once it's done...

lckyrocket 08-08-2004 10:30 PM

Ok, I'll keep ya posted :)

hotrod29728 08-09-2004 04:52 PM

Just finished painting the stock hood and stock wing... I forgot to paint them last night and it was just to late to see anything outside... But they look good and match the car atleast... I hope to get a digi soon and get pix of it posted....:rolleyes:

Kevmiester 08-10-2004 12:22 PM

ickyrocket great job on the skyline. i like the unique paint job and the dual quad exhaust it looks sick

lckyrocket 08-12-2004 11:20 AM
