Bhirst's V2 Progress Thread

Some of you may have seen my GTR Door handles that I am working on. Well those are on hold until my body kit is fitted and can get everything ready to start working on the paint.

I am using the 95-99 BC2 Front, TRD Sides, and an 03-05 Drift Rear (Customizing the rear)

Well here's some pictures.

Everything fits good except the rear was off.









Excuse the camera phone pictures. I keep forgetting to bring the camera to work.

The bumper in my sig was a customized 02 ls bumper but someone backed into me and it is in many pieces now... I liked it too but wanted something new this time.

Versus Motor Sports. Its called Group-B II the 00-02 is called the same as the 95-99 but is a little different then the normal BC2 bumper.

Sorry I do not think there is enough you can do to that rear bumper to make it look good.

thats the gravana bc2 front i believe. lookin good man! im curious to see that combo as the last person i saw use that front and sides never got it painted. i think the rear would flow better if you changed that "vent" on the side of the bumper to match the front and side skirt "vents". if that makes sense.



I NEED a 97-99 LD9 engine harness for an auto.PM if u hav info.!!

It'll look "decent" I really liked the bumper until I saw it in person. But I am not turning back now. If I get it all done and I absolutely hate it then I will change it out. Not that big of a deal.

I am taking out the little useless vent on it. Going to add to the bumper to where the tape line is to flow with the side skirt better and then I will possibly add a vent but not 100% sure. Just put some expanding foam on so I can carve it and see what I want to do.

i dislike ur two tone line. the two spots where it comes down. eliminate that! and w/ the rear. definately do some black down at the bottom of the rear bumper like u kinda did w/ the old one! < then i think that rear can work 4 u!

I hate those sides SO much for some reason. The front is nice though.

Josh: I am still using them otherwise I would

02_redbadged: I am debating on the two tone line. I might keep it I might not. Its up in the air right now. I like it because its different and it sets it apart from others.

nismoserenade: You know I used to as well but they grew on me a lot.

the drift rear just looks gaudy from the back.. because you can see the rear tire well hanging down. idk something about that i always thought looked real tacky.

I got my paint in


The yellow is PBC30 Sunrise pearl from House of Kolor and the black is PBC100 black sparkle from House of Kolor.

I borrowed a pic to get a feel for how I want to do the paint scheme. Photoshopped it and trying to decide which I like more.



or





And now a couple old progress pics. Haven't taken any recent ones.


Sunroof


Added onto the rear bumper (its fiberglassed now that was just the foam used to shape it)

shaved gas door
