well i wouldnt buy from him he sold out one of my friends here in orlando scikotics he said he was gonna give him side skirts and front bumper for a certain price and the back bumper for free so my friend drives down all the way to miami to get it installed when he gets there he makes him also pay for the back bumper so in other words screwed him out of the deal he was going to give him and after he told him that my friend was like i drove down here so mind as well just buy it so basically dude didnt live up to his word...

that sucks. the lesson here... get it in writing. but then he could still screw you on the deal i guess. that's just beat.

how long has NIA been around?

The story with your friend might be a misunderstanding. Nia is located in miami and he doesnt look like the type to screw somebody over. and getting a free lip hmmmmm...
The eyelids come primered with 3m tape. ready to paint and install.

I beg to differ. I love the look of body colored eyelids against a cf hood. Makes a nice break in the lines and color.

yeah specially in a light color like white or silver. but if you dont like the contrast you can always paint it black

ac3 b00gi3 · #16 (**permalink**) Tue., Jun 24, 2008

lol .. tru .. but carbon fiber is kinda off from black .. i'm prayin it won't come out lookin ricey

TBITB · #17 (**permalink**) Tue., Jun 24, 2008

i think the key would be matching the color of the car. if u get it painted correctly, it should come out sweet. if thats off, then it'll look like --- RICE

ac3 b00gi3 · #18 (**permalink**) Tue., Jun 24, 2008

arrrggg .. bein ricey is one of my biggest fears in this racing life lol
the other is loosing to civics ahhh hahaha

as long as the shop is good at color matching, it'll look great.

i dunno though, is silver an easy color to match? or difficult you think? i'm sure you can notice a shade thats off on your car (like when shops half @$$ the color blending on collision cars, you see every panel a different shade)
