fiberglass it. it will look better when you start sanding it down

 

Yeah I think it's time to invest in an electric sander. I want to glass the rest, but if it's not the right height then glassing now would make it even thicker. I did do one layer on the bottom side and cleaned it up and sanded it.

In response to Ed/mcyoungfagboy

I actually might buy those from ebay... except I think they may be better suited as a diffuser on my bumper. For $17 I think I can make it work.

 

Hey bro I'm thinking of getting those Tien springs, are they sitting on stock cambers and struts? just swapped out springs?

 

Yup, I didn't replace any struts. And Im still cambered in the back.

 

lol, I'm bout to say.... if you actually put those on your roof.... LOL

 

Looks like the corners need to be shaved away a little bit, its kind of bulky. Maybe taper it down a little just on the corners a little bit? It doesnt seem to really flow with the car yet.

 

you need to create some sharp angles or bevels before you glass it. it looks weird right now because its "squared" everywhere

 

Thanks for the advice guys. I know what direction to take now.

 

You can call me Savclaude....

 

fancy color matching.

sometimes I wish I got a white car.

 

i see you took my advice looking good!

now paint the fuse box red and get some red battery and powdercoat a white battery tie down

 

Why did you have to show me that lol

 

this cant end well

 

I would never go all out like these guys did ^^ I do wanna do something with my dip stick and oil cap. not mugen cause thats too cliche.

 

have you had the chance to meet ed's mom?

 

she said she would.... call me maybe.

 

Mugen emblem destroys that ...is that a russian accord?

Nice colormatching savclaude

 

So I'm not the only one who's had that song stuck in their head since seeing that video in the general discussion thread! I get songs stuck in my head wayy too easily.

 

lol mr nc. that's a us accord bro

 

My latest sticker.. hoping for 5hp.

 

with a tune, you can easily squeeze out 8hp from that!

 

Btw.. I know you guys were wondering, and the answer to your question is YES, I did wrap and cut my cf vinyl for my iPhone.

 

i wasn't wondering that.

 

me neither

 

lol

 

didn't notice, didn't care. your a fairy. =)

 

you're*

 

 

what about his fairy dave?

 

So I bought an electric sander this weekend. IDK why I held off on buying one but it makes a world of difference!! I was able to make significant progress on the top side today. It's coming along nicely. Ton of work this week so next update will most likely be next weekend.

 

Top finally sanded down and fiber-glassed. I'm pretty critical about this stupid piece but when I trimmed away the edges and cleaned it up even I was like "damn, this thing actually looks like a roof spoiler now." Still have some work to do but the bulk of the work is done as far as shaping goes. Now I just need to get a perfectly smooth part on all the edges and surfaces.

 

use flat black spray and lightly spray it. if you still see white spots, those are valleys (aka pits) that needs to be filled in with bondo. once you sand it down, respray it again to see if its leveled.

they call it valleys and hills

www.fiberglassforums.com go there for more advice and pics of custom builds

 

I need some advice on glassing the edges. I've only done the top and bottom so far. I feel like thats gunna be hard.

 

you can by 3M adhesive spray, let it dry. then lay the resin.

either way youre going to trim the edges after you glass it.

 

lul... mine is still sitting in the corner of my room....
Nice progress you got there though

 

thats pretty insane ..i dont evne know where id start for something like this

 

Where did you order your drilled rotors from? Love the engine bay. Was looking to maybe go Purple and black my self. Any suggestions on paint preference would be awesome.

 

And the how to process? Like sanding etc

 

Came to thread expecting the bump was more pictures of roof spoiler. Was disappointed.

 

I ordered them directly from stop-tech. They almost always have the front ones in stock but they will have to make your back ones since not as many people get them for the back. They are a little pricey though, to date it's my most expensive mod.

As for painting the covers. I cleaned them all thoroughly with acetone and dish soap. The grey intake manifold was the only part I sanded, it had the most oil and dirt on it. sprayed the valve cover, the black piece, and the grey piece with primer the layed some fresh spray paint on. Valve cover was the only one I used high heat resistant paint. If you wanna see pictures and stuff there is a DIY in the sticky that Dave posted. It's under painting engine covers or something.
