Probably the most drastic update the dsm world will ever see from me.

[jakelandry]

already has.

just like yourself.

Always happy to contribute to your lack of common courtsey

Looks good man. F*ck the haters. Nice color choice, great body work, great job overall.

Now start working on the performance (including brakes and suspension, not just power adders....)

I will say, and this is a problem with most of the aftermarket bumper covers out there, the front end is angled wrong. You can tell by looking at the last picture. It doesn't appear level from the side. If it were my car (I'm going to be doing this myself someday btw), I'd go with the stock 2GB front bumper with a nice lip. I'd recommend the stock fenders as well, but since you've already molded the side skirts, your stuck. Just nit picking here man, sorry...

Your right, the bumper is all around crap man. I had to fab brackets to eliminate the gap under the headlights and that was a pita and its ghetto but noone can tell . If you need any advice when you start pm me.

 

[gho5tone]

Good work!

Just not digging the front bumper...

It just looks strange from the side.

 

[crash89]

Very good turnout my friend! Like a lot of people on here I dont really like body kits however, I feel that if done right and tastefully they CAN look good. Youve done this, great color choice and good body work. Great job man!

I really do love the color. Been thinking about that myself. Actually been switching between the electric blue or the cyber grey (colors on the new vettes).

And I'm glad someone finally appreciates my politeness.

next question.

did you jam it? and paint the engine bay?

 

[gpopppa]

Very nice work, what kind of paint is it? what color? I must of missed it somewhere.And yes, for some reason the blitz front bumper is just not right, the rest of the kit itself is nice. I do like the drift style they have out Either way good job,and isnt body work just fun???

 

[2gmummy]

Paint looks great man good job, I think a more mild front bumper would look better, it doesnt have to be the 2gb one but just one that will blend a bit better.

Do have any more pics of the headlights?

Overall sick job now make it fast haha..and change you damn profile pic to the sexy car

Did the jams, i molded the kit in in there so i had to but i was planning on doing it anyway. I wanted to do the engine bay but i had school the next day so i diddnt have time to pull the motor, i did everything on the car but the engine bay.

Paint is deltron g5 ( mustang color) with double the blue pearl.

I dont have more pics of the headlights cause im ashamed of them, it was 3 in the morning when i was doing them and i had school the next morning at 8 2 hours away, so they look terrible. Im still looking for some used projector headlights to buy so i can get hid's cause i cant see a thing out of the stock ones and im paranoid im going to hit something every night. And im going to make it fast if anyone will answer my other post's question about the rod bearings i need . And after i get my windows tinted im painting the rims black, i think itll go with the black and grey theme better.

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Put the 2gb bumper back on with real splitters instead of that bumper with GIGANTIC molded in splitters......or whatever they are called. Then you'll have yourself a pretty good looking car.

I love every part of it but the front bumper. Nice job on the first paint job. Good color too. I painted mine 5 years ago as my first car ever.

It looks good for the most part. I absolutely hate the blitz kit though. Get rid of the body kit and she would be pure sex. But all and all, Congrats on bringing her back.

Now I had a feeling all 3 of you would go there.. JUST APPRECIATE THE TIME HE PUT INTO IT! HE mad it how HE wants it so stop adding your 2psi on a completed car.

And to the OP thats looks like sex on wheels man.. Speaking of which..What kind of wheels are those?

Some crap brand, there exel tz10 18's. A dude up the road was selling them for dirt cheap with brand new tires and i was like ahh there a cheap rim, but after i looked at them they seemed pretty sturdy actually.

 

[boostedgsx95]

IMO

Dont get projector headlights, they look like ricey sh*t

Ive seen an OEM pair ona locals car that was just sprayed black and it looked very good

Since when are projectors "ricey sh*t?" When you have HIDs it makes them look twice as good AND have the style . I just hate the word "rice" i guess...

To OP, Great job, good color. looks really nice. I think it would look good with that body kit and a big aluminum wing

 

[Limegrntaln]

Love the color, looks like mine, but a little darker (Pewter Blue Pearl) Im with everyone else on the body kit. not my style, but its a nice car.

 

[Ripley]

I agree with most everyone, not a huge fan of the kit but the rest looks good. I've always liked shaved door handles. Would like to do that to my car.

 

[jakelandry]

Not that anyone cares but today my baby was taken from me. Someone pulled out in front of me and it totaled. Im not sure ill want another dsm because i was so attached to mine i feel like i lost a child and i dont want to go through with it again. It just sucks cause ill be lucky if i get 3 grand for it. Its just a slap in the face.

 

[fourgsixthree33]

Damn man that is terrible! I was just looking through this whole thread come to find out that it is now totalled. It was such a nice car. I am not into body kits but you did a great time and I think we all can see you atributed alot of time into it.

 

[2gmummy]

damn that does suck

 

[hurricanecris24]

That blows. now get a gsx and be back in the dsm scene

 

[jakelandry]

Man I appreciate the care guys. And I wouldn't mind a gsx, but I need something very reliable and I honestly don't know enough about gsxs to run out and spend all my money on one. I absolutely loved my car and I will be buying it back regardless. I don't care if I can fix it or not. But I'll be looking for a gsx or rsx most likely, but I'd rather a mitsu .

 

[gsxrmel]

i like this mods

 

[hurricanecris24]

Just keep it simply. Do all the maintenance and do everything right with mild upgrades or even stock.

 

[2gmummy]

gsx=awd and dsms are only as reliable as you make them

Damn that sucks to hear that after all the hard work and everything but 3000? There was a local kid here with a 98 n/t like yours with a molded wide bodykit lowered,rims - and a new motor that rearended someone and totaled it - he fought with the insurance company and got 1500 out of it and that was it - He ended up buying a 92 accord off me - that i how coincidently wanted 1500 for - Good luck i hope you have better luck than him

 

[nuclearr]

looks good
