its soo much not the kit.. its making an se completely seamless and the paintjob is unique. thats wat i did to make it different

[Rich]

thats cool and its different but not everyone wants a paint job like you. and they dont have to have one to have an opinion and if they like your car or not.

if u look at all the ga's that commented bad, they are all either stock on the outside or have the poly kit...all the same...none ever try nothing new *tisk *tisk

well if you havent noticed may of the cars on this forum are stock on the outside. i personaly like the stock look of my SE mayb just cuz im a little

[timberwoof]

Like the paint job, but not the kit.

The kit is alright, the not best, not the worst, but I think it would look so much better if you got rid of the little out of place blue fuzzy looking spots around on the hood, mirrors, and bumper, and sharpen up some of edges of the tears. I LOVE the seamless deal you did, looks great. Get some chrome/clear headlights and some chrome TYC's and paint the insides to match the blue/green paint (not sure what that is), lose the spoiler for a cleaner look, get some bigger rims, get some diff. exhaust tips, and drop it.

Honestly, I think the black/clear headlights would look horrible on this car. And please for God sake don't go with black TYC's on this car. They will stick out so bad and look horrible, but other than what I had just posted, I think it looks good. At least you didn't go with the SCT kit like 99.9% of everyone else on this site. And here's a tip, if you DO NOT go with the black/clear headlights and the black TYC tails, nobody will like your car.

get the tyc's and paint them body color

What damn "poly" kit are you talkin' about kid?

Of my 8 years around this car the only polyurethane kits ever to be produced (and I use "kits" lightly) is the Inferno kit, OEM and SC/T.

like i said, its not in the sun. the "fuzzy" spots are just rip/tears. its all very claen cut in person. i will put more pics once i get it shining like glass. and for the paint it is a tiffani blue, exotic color. looks better in the sun as well w/ the white pearl.

[Ajaxus]

first off, the "duh" in your last post, completely uncalled for, below the belt, and the worst insult i've ever seen.

secondly, you have a post where you try to say that by being unoriginal your car is better? while we do like those that have cars that aren't stock..making your car look like ricer crap, it isn't better. do us all a favor, go buy a civic and step out of the closet.

thank you very much, ill be here all week, good night folks.

[BlackAttackGA]

I think it's awesome, I've never seen anything like it. Props to you and your uncle!

[bryanw0087]

yeah doubt youll see a paint job like that on another car, let alone another GA,

and to WeibSunder, i dont have black TYCS and i get tons of compliments on my car, so i guess you statement would be false?

[Rosado]

Dude, I agree with Ajaxus on that one. Not called for.

2nd That kit that you are saying everyone has, well let me give you a little info. The RK Sport kit and the SC/T are the ONLY 2 kits that I have seen that actually make the car look better. The RK Sport makes it a little more agressive where the SC/T kits gives it some flare to stock panels. Some like the RK Sport kit better, some like the SC/T kit better. Personally I wanted the SC/T kit myslef, but they were not making them whenI was ready to buy. I belive everyone here would agree with me on that one.

WHAT, you must be still high on the fumes from the paint job. Dont worry, you will come back down to earth. * someday*
When you post soemthing here, you have to be ready for anything. Some will like it, some wont. Is it diffrent, yes it is diffrent. ( PAINT WISE) I give you credit for that. If it was done a little better,I would like it even more. (Keep in mind, this is what I do for a living, paint cars and custom installs) So im being a little more picky than your avrage person. Body kit, (I cant belive I called it that) you choose that one? I would rather see a stock SE paint ,lowered, 18 or 19 inch wheels on it before I would wanna see that kit put on a car.
You dont have alot of post in here so you are new. If you want to defend your work, by all means go for it. You have that right. If you think your going to low blow anyone on here, get ready to have someone piss in your cereal.

If you post, take the good and the bad. SIMPLE. Say thank you and have a nice day!

Did I say anything about YOUR car? I don't recall doing so. This thread is about "elementdrummer" and his car.

Is it just me or does this front clip look like the *** one?

If I was in the market for a body kit, I would have to stick with the RK-Sport body kit, I have always liked it.
