does anybody think making the ground effects seemless to the body would look good?? maybe somebody can photoshop a picture up and see how it would turn out.

 

scauffiel tried it on his car and it kept cracking. Its not very easy to do.

 

easy? yes but it takes a alot of time to do it properly and it is very inconveniant believe me since the rocker and front fender are "attached" together with the gfx's so if you need to change the fender or to just take it off... you are dead cause you need a new paint job... is the car gonna be a trailer queen? if so you might consider it.. if not... you better forget it

 

I said its not very easy to do.

 

That sounds pretty much impossible...even though, it's a cool idea. Even the slightest bumps would cause them to crack

 

you could bond the gfx with the sheetmetal using flexible epoxy... I did it already with three imports.. guys were putting on body kits... as I said, very time consuming and not very worth it IMO

 

If I dont get the Evo kit, I will be doing this to my 91Z. The seamless effect looks great and makes the body look alot smoother. Combined with shaved handles and keyholes and shaved moldings, this will look very good. My friend did it to his daily driven 700 whp Supra early last year. So far, no issues. He even cracked the middle of his sideskirt once but the rest of the body work held up. If you do it right it is very durable.

 

well does anybody have any photos. real or fake. i wanna see how good it will look.

 

Did this (Psp'd the pic) for someone a good while back. Can't remember their name though...

 

wow that looks prett bad a$$!

 

yeah but id like to see one with the 92 ground effects.

 

You mean like this?

 

aw man, that file was huge and I had to save it at a low quality, it looks like sh** posted, it gives you the idea, if you want a better quality one I'll make a smaller size, better quality one tonight

 

looks like it would be pretty cool but its hard to tell with that quality picture.

 

other then for looks or doing for land speed racing.... why? What if you, and you will, scuff a bump, speed bump, anything... and the nose gets torn up... now you have to disbond the parts...Just asking, not flaming.

 

well i really didnt think about all that stuff. i was just trying to think of sumtin to do that almost nobody has.

 

Its all about the look. Smooth from top to bottom. Same reason people shave door handles and moldings, even gas filler doors. In the truck scene some people go as far as welding the tailgate shut and shaving the taillights. Looks cool!!

 

show car yes, street car that is driven at all no. it's nice to have the flex at that part of the car, especially in the front. no point in making a big deal if you get hit since you will probably have to repaint anyhow.

do it if you want to!

 

how about making the front and back bumper seemless where it connects to the fenders. i dont think im gonna mess with the ground effects.

 

It's been done....

Search for a member "Tribaldaze" he has done it.....

Not very easy though.....

 

wow, that looks really sweet without the seems.
