Alright, no major updates just yet. I picked up a Viper 5901 w/ the XK07 for remote start so I can start my car and have the tank fill while I'm getting ready and stuff. I also got a the new pioneer avic-z120bt with tons of accessories, I now watch netflix on my car while working on my car. Visors are coming off tommarow, and my 05 cluster conversion with leds are going in shortly. (After I go smog, and the insurance company inspects my car) I also picked up a triple gauge pod w/ viair dual needle gauges thanks to KennyMo's advice. Analog is really a smart decision, digital would have been more of a hassle for me. Especially with my sound system, air, leds, and retrofits that **** will drain my battery even more.

Here's a friend quickly snapped before we went to dinner for my birthday.



As you can see, I'm still in the market for a good camber kit & fender roll but I'm alittle strapped on cash for now cus I have to renew my insurance on both my bikes & cars and aaa roadside assistance.

And for those who haven't seen it yet, watch Kevin Hart Seriously Funny, the man speaks the truth.

Yeah I wanted to rent it but at that price I could just pay someone to roll it honesly lol. No offense, he's a cool guy not knocking his business. I'm going to hit up TycoRC to do a roll for me since he's a lot more local.

Copycat!

I did the exact same thing, only I did it first

Very nice job, looks great. What did you use to attach the stock piece to the K2? I personally used fiberglass and it worked great. I put tons of layers on it to make sure it was a strong bond.

This is the only picture of mine as of now. In this pic the pieces are only ziptied together, I have since fiberglassed them. The bumper is ready for paint and I am currently waiting for some warm weather.

Haha you did it first, but I beat you to finishing it! I already sanded and everything is ready to go. Painting it this sunday! And yeah, I used fiberglass! Strong, sturdy and feels super durable.

How bad was the fitment with the sidemarker? I was just going to ride without sidemarkers for now but I remembering hearing people trimming or filling something to make the sidemarkers fit?

Here are some updates:

FX35-R Projectors (I've been trying to find a way to fit them in)


And this is what just came in the mail

Viair Dual Needle Gauges

Mine is sanded and ready for paint as well, but I don't think it will be warm enough here for paint by sunday. How many layers did you end up using? I think I used like 5 or 6 total.

The sidemarkers would not fit in the fiberglass brackets that came on the bumper without some filing. I still didn't like the way they fit so I cut off the fg brackets and customized the oem metal brackets from my stock bumper to fit on the K2.

I'm also doing something to my grill that you aren't so you that added some time to the job. I'm also working on brake ducting for the vents on the bottom. All in all, I'm doing a lot more work on mine so I'm ok with you getting it done first
