Well the bump is used and i need to keep playing with it but i dont mind it but when i do get the car repainted it will get worked on. Other then that i just put it on to drive around till i save the rest of money to put on the rest of the kit on.

Car looks good, Jeff. It was good to meet you when we picked up your Inven splitter.

Hope to see you around town.

I'll probably switch my setup sometime this summer, both wheels and front bumper. Dunno yet, I'm always changing my mind.

Some people don't opt to put the 2nd bolt in on the inside underneath the headlight, which causes the front end to sag a bit and looks strange around the headlight. And I'm not saying that Jeff has done that at all, just pointing out what I did before I opted to do the method that I wrote below.

A reason for this is because (at least it was for mine), the metal bracket from the OEM bumper didn't slide perfectly into the mounting slot for the Kuruma, so they just use one bolt and washer on both sides.

An easy fix for that, is to just say screw the bolt, and use a bolt, two washers, and a self locking nut on all four sides and mount it to make it flush.

Son, gotcha. I just don't like where the forward point of the fender sticks out from the bumper. It just looks awkward kinda like the taillights on the Hikkatadori/Strafe sedan trunk where they never line up correctly. Maybe I'm a little naive about mods, but if I spend $1000 on an aftermarket part I expect perfect fitment even if that includes a lot of prep work to get it there. For the money spent, this (below) is unacceptable. No offense meant Beebs or Aaron.



The end result is what matters to me.

No, I completely agree, Tim. Gabe's trunk is like that too. I don't know if you noticed that when he went to Austin to meet with you Centex guys a few weeks ago.

I, for one, will ALWAYS stand by my opinion of Hikkata Dori products and will continue to educate those that wish to buy their Coupe and Sedan trunks, as well as their hoods. I've seen all three of their products, first hand (I own their hood) and just feel that the advertisement of their parts are misconstrued and feel their parts are not worth the price they are selling at.

Don't get me wrong, I love the way my hood looks. I just absolutely HATE the way that it was made. It's just a good thing that I bought my hood from a private seller at half the price I was quoted by Hikkata Dori. And trust me, my hood took a lot of work to make it fit properly. The one thing that angers me most about my hood, is not only did my clear coat crack on it from opening and closing my hood, but now I have stress cracks around the vents due to the "high quality" fiberglass that this thing is made out of.

I would buy from Strafe Automotive any day of the week.

Regardless, off topic enough, your car looks great Jeff.

^ +1 on the dori products. i own their hood as well. structurally its a piece of crap. the fiberglass is paper thin. im scared to go over 90mph with the way its shakes and vibrates.
