It was another member. No big deal.

I was looking into painting the fenders but both bodyshops said I would be an idiot to paint them. They thought they looked really good and "raw". Plus the fact that it would cost quite a bit and take a lot of time plus both shops could not guarantee the paint would last as far as cracking. Hopefully after HIN I will have the new Spoon front bumper and Js header and radiator and this car will be officially done. Wife is killing me on this expensive yet fun hobby.

Cant wait to see Amuse AP1s $100,000 AP1.
"raw".......my words exactly as per the initial post about the fenders. painting the front-end flat black is also a good idea. someone was thinking of painting their whole car flat-black. i was all for it

$100,000 AP1..........what the hell makes it $100,000......parts? Waaaaaay too much money invested. For $100,000 he coulda bought a exotic or an R34 for that matter.

Gotcha

That makes sense about the paint. I can imagine the CF would flex quite a bit and risk cracking the paint. Are you planning doing the whole car in flat black or just the front?

You know its funny. He is also modding the heck out of his R34 as well thats even more big bucks.

$100,000 in parts and turbo and fully built motor for the turbo. LOL

I mean his front fenders and hardtop are $9000+ alone. Thats just 2 pieces on his car. Add in his new brakes. Thats another $10000. Thats just 3 pieces. Then you have his audio and his hood, interior, it just keeps going and going and going..

Didn't he have Endless make him a custom 6-pot for the rear?

Nope. He had Endless 6 pot front and rear. He used two sets of fronts for his front/rear setup. All custom fabricated. No E-brake.
New set of 6 pot/ 4 pot rear will be off the hook.

I like the blue Work s1 wheels, but it doesn't match well with all the black carbon parts on the car.
