Dont know if you know the story but I saved this car from the crusher pretty much..the kid hit two trees trying to miss a deer..so i bought it from him...It has been in the shop since Dec. and yesterday she finally was able to come out.

Here are the befores...stock black and a pictures cant even show how bad this car was.





I had to buy the right rear out of a wrecked tib...I am talking all the way into the middle of the car not just the quarter panel, front fender, VIS CF Hood, Veilside kit, brand new front clip for right front side, radiator support, headlights, clear corner lights, black tail lights, etc etc etc....and here is the finished product...waiting for wheels








I went ahead and shaved everything in the back except the spoiler, because for some reason I have come to like it.

I went with the House of Kolor Pearl Black I would really like to hear from feedback on the paint, just wondering since this is the first Rd2 I had seen this color.

Well I hope you guys like her, I put alot of time and money into this car, and I appreciate all the parts I got off you guys in the process.

Thanks
GBS

I think its 60 dollars a pint...but dont hold me to it...the guy that did my paint job bought it from his wholesaler.

I was going to put black with polished lip but when the car came out of the shop I seen that black would not work since its more of a deep charcole grey in the sun and black in shade.

Anyone know where I can find a nice set of chrome wheels w/tires?

Do you guys think gunmetal or hyperblack would look good or even gold which I have always wanted but not had the balls to buy and see what they look like.

I know most of you dont like the kit, but damn when that thing it sitting in the sun and that front end is shinning, I dont think I have ever seen a meaner looking car.

And about the lowering of it....um if I lowered it any I wouldnt be able to move it from where its sitting the front is soo low already. I was acually thinking of raising it a little in the front...but not anytime soon.

I have a ton of goody's to put on this beast, so pretty much out of one shop and into another

Wow those pics bring back memories.... i hit a guard rail and had to replace the quater panel that i also got from a donor junk car too, and i used my insurance money to do a kit too.

My suggestions
--- NO CHROME RIMS they dont look good on tiburons
go with some black or silver 17s

dont drop it

tint the windows

and u will have a bad@$$ lookin tibs

keep up the good work man!!!!!!!! fing02.gif
