Back when the $uck was just that compared to the ¥. Today, with the exchange rate they go for about $360, when I purchased mine I think it was about $530, what a difference. So many of my parts have added too many excess $ if they were purchased today versus then, but at the same time, I wouldn't of had them and that would of sucked.

 

See a good deal on eBay that I just can't pass... hahaha

I bought a pair of original Audi Supercharged Logo for just $60 (PAIR),
while at some online store (even at Amazon),
they are $75 for EACH...
so I pay less then half price !!!

The bad thing is, I can NOT put it on my car until I got a supercharger installed...
so this will motivate me to work harder so I can finally buy a supercharger
and install this emblem on left and right fender hahaha

 

Your car looks amazing. Nice to see it with my favorite car of all time. Mtb can be addicting. What kind of Mtb did you get?

 

Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper WC hardtail (it's actually inside the Fit in the photos), thankfully I have quite the hard tail myself with the amount of times I have gone down already.

And thank you. The DC2R is a 96Spec, so the rawest of the breed, 19yo and still going very strong. My friend could use a rebuild on the engine though, has a bit of blow-by at times. When wallet allows him, he will. I also keep trying to talk him into the 98Spec final drive.

 

Plasti-Dipped the grill bar today

 

Looks good 555sexydrive. What kinda of whp numbers does it put down? Also what RPM are you revving it to now?

 

Nice grill

 

Nice!
You are going to put the Audi badges on the fit?

 

Yes, I am
but only after I really put a supercharger on my car... don't know when though... no money now...
I had look through several supercharged emblem and I think the Audi supercharged emblem is the nicest looking one

 

To each their own brother! As long as you are happy

 

Rear diffuser is at the paint shop this morning, hoping to install tomorrow :happydance:

 

Ohh what colour? My wings being painted too!

 

Nice! Really want to see how that looks.. Never seen a jdp rear diffuser that wasn't Carbon fiber

Any plans to change the spoiler to?

 

That's right you also ordered a fiberglass piece. How did yours come out? The diffuser was a little rough around some parts and had some scratches. The paint shop said it would need to be primered to fix the imperfections before painting it.

The same color as the modulo center garnish, its a dark gray color. We'll see how it looks


OH BTW, did you have to drill any extra holes to fit the duckbill?

I'll post pics after install.

I'm torn on the spoiler. Honestly.
The oem spoiler always felt a little small, I like the duckbill so maybe. I also do like the EV spoiler but its not really that aggressive, but it does have the low sides which i think look great.

we'll see in time.

 

Yeah mine had some pinholes and sanding scratches on it. The shop is charging me extra to fill them with putty and smooth everything out before actually putting primer on and painting it.

Makes me wonder how much i really saved by not going CF.

Getting mine on monday so well see how it turns out. Nah it has tape and also uses the stock bolts to mount.



Btw i got the regular jdp one, aka non duckbill. Check jookybananas thread to see what i mean. Its like a bigger more aggressive version of the stock one.

If you dont like the jdp options you could always look at jdm options...

 

anyone ever get consignment shipping? My hood is being shipped that way by JDP, is that like a freight truck and just drop it off curbside.. i mean its really not even that heavy, hate to miss the shipment since i have work.

 

Is that when its considered freight rather than just a parcel? Its probably more to do with the size than weight.

I got my sport bumper and skirts shipped on a palet that way. Had to pick it up at a local depo cause they dont do door to door deliveries on that

 

yeah it might end up being like that, i doubt anyones gonna be here to answer the door when it arrives.

 

May not be honda but they will match your car nice

 

My paint guy charged me 100 for paint and primer, and it looks amazing.

The reason I went non-cf was because keeping up the clear coat on cf is a full time job. Especially in SoCal, the harsh sun eats clear coat like candy.

Thats good to hear that no extra holes were needed, I will definetly check out his pics and I look forward to yours as well.

As for now the spoiler isn't my biggest concern, but in a year or so, I will begin to reassess. Although maybe I should do while John is still in the game.
