Hey guys just bought my bodykit and wondering if anoyone knows a good place to get it fitted and sprayed? It needs a little bit of prep work.

Need somewhere that does a reasonable job for an good price. I know that you get what you pay for.... but still.... :)

yep its procoat ... if you're after something really cheap ... but isn't oo bad ... then he is good ... this is how cheap he is ... mind you i've used him a few times myself and plus i've referred alot of people to him so he gives me mates rates i guess ...

but anyways i cracked my front bumper ... not a small crack ... but a big one ... fixed it .. painted ... paint wasn't too bad either, fitted again, the fitting wasn't too bad, wasnt' that good either, if there was one thing that wasn't good about his work its the fitting, but anyways he repainted a small area of the back bumper which had paint cracks due to an accident ... so all up 250 bucks LOL :) Admitted his paint work isn't the best, but hey for the money he charged, theres no way he could be beaten ... he also did for a mate a respray just the outer paint, and fixed alot of dents here and there, and also a big dent on the side ... all up 1k i think or there abouts ...

just remember to remind him to not leave the windows down when he works on the car else it'll get dirty lol

Remember and listen very carefully.

You get what you pay for ESPECIALLY when it comes to paint work. I cannot stress that enough.

If you worship your car and pick every little new chip and stress about it then spend the $$ on a good job.

Ask your self if you really want the paint on the body kit to have more orange peel and look different than the body paint?

Cheap paint work can and will have a slightly different colour (some times a white wash to it), orange peel and visible sanding marks under the paint due to lack of care and time on the prep work.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
