Super Stuck Supra

hotrod29728 · #1 08-05-2004, 02:37 AM

Guys I'm just getting back into Xmods and I want to do a bunch of work to my pride and joy... My White Supra... the first Xmod I ever bought... I am currently trying on many new ideas. But, I have my mind set on a few things. First, I have allready installed my 6th cell mod for my Supra but, can't find a place to mount it, and believe me I've tried everywhere... Where should I put it?Second, I want to mold the bodykit into the body and smooth things out. How should I go about doing this? What do I need to use? Any tutorials? Third is paint... I tried to paint a RSX by a tutorial I saw on here and really screwed it up. I don't want this to happen to my baby... I am planning on painting the car the Mirage Paint that you can buy from Auto Zone or Advanced Auto but, can't find it. Fourth is rims I have some stock RSX rims I want to paint up in Black with a chrome trim ring... How do I go about doing that? Fifth, is motors I have built many SBP motors but I want something absolutly crazy that I don't have to upgrade MOSFETs or my circuit board... Where can I get a nice motor for cheap? Sixth, new aluminum decks and wings... I want to put an aluminum wing on there for sure but, I don't want to unload my wallet... Any good deals? I also want a custom front deck with (Supra) on it and the back a light weight version. Seventh is neons. I really want to brighten this thing up and make it stand out. Thinking maybe some blue to go with the Mirage Paint any suggestions here? Let me know. Eighth is hinged hoods. I want my hood to tilt to the side. Can anyone help me with that? I would also like to know where I can get the clear (plastic) hinges from... I tried Wal-Mart...nothing... Tenth, is new light covers for the front lights... Mine got busted while letting a friend drive with out the front bumper on... (I know I know it was really dumb!)... Where can I find some replacements? Can someone sell me some spairs?
Thats all I can think of right now.... It's 3:30 AM here and I'm still online... If ANYONE can help me please let me know. I will get me a digi cam and keep everything updated as I go and hopefully you will see this amature become professional... I hope you guys can help... once again.... Thanks

sounds like you need some major help, so i'll try to make your life easier. for the 6 cell i would buy two one-cell holders and put one inbetween the mouting posts for the light kit and put the other one in the trunk area wherever it fits best. for the bodykit theres a post and the title is true xmod exterior modification hes doin a wide bodykit with some type of puddy. go and ask him how he did it. the paint is your desision because it's your car. i buy decals and put them on my car because i ruined a body by painting it. to paint the rims i would cover the area where you don't want paint with electrical tape(it might not be the best way to do it but it worked for me. for the motor go to xmodspeed and get the r or s tune motor one of those is 20 bucks and doesn't need fets. for the decks and wings go to www.costomxmodsparts.com for neons there are many sites that have tut. on them but the easy and pricey route would be to go to www.hobbylogic.com hinges are also sold at www.customxmodsparts.com for the light covers good luck you might have to buy a new body. for other suggestions, ditch the 6 cell and but li-ions, there pricey but they work

Thanks and wow... cXp has some nice stuff I just wish it wasn't so pricey...

But anyways do you know if the aluminum bumpers from there are any good? I was thinking of getting the Whole kit and having him do a custom Supra design on the plates and things

... Can I get anymore help people?

aluminum bumbers aren't available because it is too weak and breaks easily so you get them in stainless steel. i got the GTR xtreme kit and i'm lovin it the bumbers bend if you hit somehting but they bend right back into place without breaking. email cxp if you want a custom design. hope that helps

I thought the site was shut down for a while due to backorders and other problems? I know there was a big yellow and red banner telling about it last time I was there... But, who knows?...

Kevmiester · #6 08-05-2004, 05:50 PM

they are backordered but i got my stuff about a month ago and they're workin great

hotrod29728 · #7 08-05-2004, 09:12 PM

Do they just bolt right up? Did you have any trouble out of them to begin with? How about weight? Price? Finish on the metal? Can ya help? Also I need more info from people I would like more opinions here...

Kevmiester · #8 08-06-2004, 10:59 AM

they come out of the box and screw right into place. they come looking a little dirty so you can get anything that polishes and shine it up. the only modding u need to do is to put the antenna mount on the rear deck. it was a little difficult for me but i was in a rush and didn't have any patience. there is a weight page on the site.

Thanks for the help... I HOPE I GET SOME MORE INFO FROM THE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS AND DON'T RESPOND

!!!! Yet again thanks KevMeister...

Edit: woohoo my 125 post and just 2 days ago I only had 60 haha isn't that weird?
