Brainchild Customs Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8072/8412446968_21ac4bf50e.jpg Tommy Kaira rear lip and DAMD side skirt extensions! nice! i want to see those wheels. I asked again today, supposed to still be on for delivery this month. I'm skeptical:rolleyes: Was he there at lunch time?...... haha! around noon actually yeah good choice going to TK rear lip. Going to order mine pretty soon. thank you sir, I must have looked at every single kit they make for these cars and this was my favorite rear (non full-bumper). The gialla was a close second, but it is a bit too "chunky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 From the time you ordered those skirts how long did it take from day of purchase to day of delivery??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainchild Customs Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe 4-5 weeks on both. One of the quickest experiences ever w importing parts from Japan. From what I understand they are made as orders come in, they didn't have any sitting. Japanparts made the transaction nice and easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 thank you sir, I must have looked at every single kit they make for these cars and this was my favorite rear (non full-bumper). The gialla was a close second, but it is a bit too "chunky". Due to the tiny visual differences between JDM and USDM rear bumper from my observation, the TK rear lip is my top choice. Reason being that JDM rear bumper have two indent area with reflectors that the USDM bumper lack of. Most JDM aftermarket rear lip leaves two opening for them reflectors but TK does not and also put in their own reflectors to above the exhaust openings. ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadal4Hand Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Headlights were about $500 Did you buy them online? If so where? Thx man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durkle Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Also, today swapped out my headlights for the 2013 facelifted lights and installed Morimoto HID kits in the headlights (4300k) and foglights (3000k). http://imageshack.us/a/img834/491/headlightsandhids2.jpg Reminds me of this! (probably the cut of the lights) http://fancytuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ventross-nissan-gtr-r35-skyline.jpg Probably the nicest 5th gen out there!

Brainchild Customs Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 ^thanks man! Did you buy them online? If so where? Thx man. Sam at Andrewtech Automotive ordered them for me. I got a discount since he gets wholesale cost from our local subaru dealership. Went by the bodyshop with the rear lip and skirts for them to take a look and get an estimate. The plan is drop it off for a couple of days probably the week of Feb 11. I also realized one tiny issue, which is that the side skirt extensions are going to need to have holes cut in them for the puddle lights. Not a huge deal though.

Brainchild Customs Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Braved the cold to do a quick test fit of the aero parts and snapped some pics. The side skirts are hanging down about an inch or so because we haven't cut holes for the puddle lights yet, they'll sit flush after the real install. Enjoy and please excuse the salty filth. http://imageshack.us/a/img825/183/img1480gn.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img203/1894/img1478n.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img842/8127/img1465bn.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img18/1856/img1467w.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img22/3700/img1470tr.jpg Quite happy with the look and the relative heights from front to sides to rear. It always bugs me when cars don't look balanced from the side. Looks like my highly scientifc eyeballing of photos seems to have worked out ok again.

Blizzard Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Like it a lot. Those side skirts seem super lower though. I'd be worried about something happening to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we have more pics of the rear end specifically from straight behind? Like it a lot. Those side skirts seem super lower though. I'd be worried about something happening to them. Thanks guys, I'm definitely excited to get the parts painted and properly installed. Again, do keep in mind that the side skirts are hanging down a decent amount just due to the puddle lights not allowing them sit flush in these pics. They will be pretty low, but not nearly as low as they are here. also, I think the 19's will allow me to push the overall ride height up a bit. Delta - this is the only pic i took of the rear from straight on. The lip adds some outward depth, I think I'm probably going to have the exhaust tips extended out an inch or two. http://imageshack.us/a/img338/7645/img1462an.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainchild Customs Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Stoptech has been saying "the brakes will ship tomorrow" every day this week. grrr.... I did get my Accessport cradle from Rallysportdirect. Took a couple of minutes to tuck the cable and I'm all set. Nice to actually be able to monitor boost now:) It's a little bit cheaply made, but it does what it advertises. Someone needs to come up with a nice and clean gauge pod for us. I wouldn't want a pillar pod, and the dash mount is usually not attractive. The only place I would really want to mount it is in the bottom corner of main gauge cluster trim, so that the new guage would block the MPG from view Maybe I'll buy a spare trim piece and mess around it with it at some point...

GTEASER Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm working on a semi custom mount for a boost gauge, PM me. I need another week to get the details together and for the gauge to arrive, but you might like it.

Brainchild Customs Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 today was a good day.. Brakes are here:) 332mm. Pic from my man Sam at Andrewtech, sorry he didn't unwrap it. I'll get some better ones soon. Also snapped a pic of the DBA rears I'm using with yellow powdercoated STi rear brembos w KNS bracket. And thanks to my boys over at FALKEN I got some new tires in for the new wheels. 265.35.19 FK453 Still no word on wheel ETA; I'm told they left Japan already. Probably in customs now. Rear lip and side skirts are getting painted/installed Feb 11-14, then the brakes go on Feb15. http://imageshack.us/a/img221/8087/stoptechkit332mm.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img51/3546/dbaseries4000rotors2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img198/6462/falkenfk4532653519.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
