looks good, i think it does need a lower front end with the shark spoiler. i think any car with a big rear spoiler could use a lowered dam up front to balance the look. and also it looks like the spoiler is just a centimeter too far back from what i know. either the studs on the spoiler were like that or they are not drilled through the proper slots. maybe you wanted it that way? or it could be my imagination, perhaps the lighting playing tricks.
great update.
great update.

HKC: wow awesome observation there man. You are right, the spoiler does sit too far back a tad. I wanted a shark spoiler but w/o the stand in the middle, and I so happened to chance upon this spoiler on a visit to a local junkyard. What I didn't know was that the spoiler was custom made and the holes did not line up 02.gif
As for the front end, the entire car now sits higher than a stock RD1, this is because of the tires I'm using which are 235/45/17s. I can set the suspension lower but the tires would scrub.
Thanks for the comments smile.gif

VERY NICE! I bet its a hell of a sleeper..lol
Do you know any times it runs in the 1/4, or how much hp its got?
I would also like to know more on how you go tthe breaks to fit.
The ONLY thing I would recommend is get your tails tinted so they have a glossy finish, instead of the nightshard matte finish....
ONE of the best tibs ive ever seen...

Brakes weren't too difficult. Had to fabricate a bracket for it. But remember that not all rims will clear the caliper. So you must have rims with the right offset.

Thanks man smile.gif I don't have any 1/4 times or hp figures. Have yet to put it on a dyno.
Yeah I will probably go for a glossy tint for the tails once I got some sort of bodykit going on for the tib

wow. That's wonderful mang. Your paint looks as smooth as I've ever seen any paint, and I've seen some smooth paint before. What's your secret?

looks good...I agree w/HKC it is high but i understand why cuz off the tires...i know you dont like bodykits, from what the article said...i would add some sort of lip to the front, maybe someone could get you the Home Depot Lip just to offset the highness of the shark spoiler...
other thing is tails need clear coat on them...IMO
tib looks great regardless fing02.gif
