Tips for staying damage free
 
Eventhough I've only been on here like 3 days. I've noticed a major issues that keeps getting mentioned in alot of posts is damage to the car's body and apperance. I've learned (using both my actual car) and and Xmod, that if you buy some painter's tape (the roll I have for my xmod is green) It's very low tac, which means when you peal it of there's no , or almost no residue left to clean off. sure it doesn't look as sexy to have it on there, but it will protect if bottoming-out or scraping the front, sides, and bottom. I also take my hood off since I have a custom carbon fiber hood. However I can't help you with the flipping or mirror problems :D

Don't hit anything... :p

Damage free
 
BC has a good solution for it. Hes using a foam type mat w/ double sided tape to hold it. looks real nice. check his xmod tutorial page.

what about the side mirrors becuase, on my old skyline the side mirrors broke completly off and i was mad. :mad: so i super glued the together then they broke off again so i traded it for a supra

(note) model glue does not work on xmods believe me it doesnt work

weba2nkill3r 11-24-2003 09:14 PM

i broke mines too! BUT i had epoxy n i glue it back together. now i dont use the mirrors i leave um aside
