The Cefiro Is Finally Konnexion!

[jaik]

Well heres a few pics of my car completed! Still have some cosmetics to do like tint, new seats, put my cage back in etc but essentially all the body is done! I decided to stick with the factory Diamond Black - to keep it pimp - and easy to repaint bumpers hehe. Here is some shots straight off the gun. Its certainly come along way from being what it was straight from J back in late 2004.

I whacked on the Final Konnexion body kit with M Sports 25mm Fenders. I rolled the rear guards out about 14mm and I think Im going to space my 18x9.5s out about 15mm and put some camber in. The skirts sit about 2 inches lower than the chassis rails hence my ride height is a bit more than Id like. Ive spaced out 18x8.5s upfront by 20mm upfront too to firstly clear the coilovers but also to fill the guards. I had to raise the car up about 12mm at the front because my tyres started eating fibreglass... but now I dont scrape the front bar at all... a good compromise!

I have attached a preview but the rest are at http://www.sido-takushi.com/paintnpanel/finalk

It cost me $2200 for the fibreglass... all genuine parts... $3k for Panel Beating (you'd understand why if you saw the car... but my pic above can give you a hint) and $3.5k for the paint job. Im fairly happy with it... but it sure did cost alot!

Yo Jai!

That looks sik! Well done dude - the long haul is finally rewarding. Motor plans?

Who did you bring in the FK kit through? I have FK skirts/rear bar on my 32 but unfortunately have damaged one of the skirts and am trying to bring in another?

Cheers,

Lyndon

Very the fat... Good too see something other than uras. Who did you get the kit from? Might check what they have for laurels... as that seems a pretty good price Ride height looks ok.. You might start ripping of bits of glass if you go much lower

If ur still waiting for that Taxi click on my sig... They should be able to help ^_^

Um I got C-Red in WA to source it for me. www.c-red.com.au

I was told it was a genuine kit although it did take alot of man hours to make it fit up properly... so Im not sure... although I paid good money for it.

If it was a genuine then it should have had the final k stamp on the inside of the kit

[jaik]

Yeah all the body parts had the old school Final K logo stamped on fibreglass and layed under the top layer of glass... but it cost me $1k in labour to make it all fit... had to cut and tuck the bumpers as they were about 10mm too wide on each side!

JK

[konect]

shit, maybe they were meant for wide body

[meggala]

alot of cef body kits need work to be fitted I had the same issues

[jaik]

Body kits are a c*nt... just from normal road bumps etc I can see spider cracks in the paint from the corners of the bumpers etc and where they mount.

Good from a far I say
