Really nice, interested in how much that cost....one day lol

tad more expensive than your regular joe shmoe but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

There's no paint runs, dirt, flat spots, blemishes etc and a lot of time is spent on prep work.

The front bar had a lot of chunks missing, deep cuts into the plastic and dents etc (thanks to the previous japanese owner) and any of those would show up once painted, so a lot of time was spent fixing up all the imperfections in the panels and front bar. It wasnt just a sand down and a spray.

In regards to pricing, my spray also included front bar repair, a replacement guard + prep + fitting and a rim repair (little dent in the lip from the person who reversed into me) so the price would be different to anyone just looking for a front spray and even then it would be different for each car.

Best way would be just to call Mick and I guess ask for a quote as he gives discounts to sauvic members. As my spray included a lot of labour hours any estimate I give now could be way off.

Hope that helps? haha

so shiny you can see yourself taking the pic..ha that front lip is old school gangsta!

haha yeah wanted to show how shiny it really is!

Electronic drop-down front spoiler, gotta love crazy factory options :(

Mick loved it and suggested that it should get a coat of black paint to match :thumbsup:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
