If any of you know me personally, you'll know how bad i am about getting round to shit. Mostly i can blame this on a hectic work schedule (40hrs is a SLOW week for me, 50-60 is normal), and the fact that i live in two different places, but even beyond that, its bad. Thankfully (bless you zombie jesus!!!) we had good friday off. That means 3-day weekend!!! Finally enough time for me to catch up on my snoozin, clean up my room(s), and still have enough time and energy to dig in to some projects. I recently acquired another set of panasports g7 c5c2, so now i finally have a complete set!!! Some mixing and matching of lips and barrels needed to take place to optimize sizing, but for now it's ok.
Last night i finally dug in and started the process to mount the Spirit Rei Kamikaze lip and side skirt add-ons that Alex at Wheelflip had ordered for me, through their U.S. distibution partner, Mastermind N.A. (conveniently located literally next door to Wheelflip). They arrived a few months ago and have been collecting dust in my garage, waiting for a weekend like this when i would have enough time to finish the project.
These are the same parts as seen on the Review 180sx owned by Shuichi Nakagawa, in its last version/form prior to going full Rocket Bunny. Personally i think the Review car pulled it off better, but i like my version as well.
While as far as i know, this is the first set introduced to North America, i would not be surprised to see more sets pop up in the years to come, due to the solid quality and universal design of the product. The only disappointment i had is that about a month after i had placed my order, they released carbon fiber versions!!! Oh well, i'll survive.
Essentially, this car is now too low to be streetable. PERFECT FOR STREETING!!!!
I really love how far it extends beyond the existing kouki aero, and while i'm sure it will be annoying as fuck to scrape over every pebble and penny on the road, i wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh and for those of you wondering, this is the same corner, after having all the tire marks cleaned off.
Since i had a 3 day weekend, i decided it would be wise to ship the car to south america just to take some instagram photos. Hopefully i can make it back in time for work tomorrow!!!
