I was thinking about getting my front bumper fixed up since I'll be paying for parts and labour for the rear to be fixed soon anyway. Now I have an Erebuni style 85 front lip but no side skirts or rear spoiler/skirt. I was wondering how it would look with ONLY the front lip installed. It is quite subtle, plus my rear sags a little because of my subs in the trunk... I was thinking it would actually even things up, but I want to know what you guys think...

Thanks.

Like you said, nice and subtle. I'm liking it. Maybe get the bottom door moulding and the rocker panels painted too to even things out.

Why would I get the existing bottom door moulding and rocker panels painted? Sorry maybe I'm missing something here. I just got the new front lip which will go on a new front bumper, so those will be painted.

And then in a separate job the rear bumper and left quarter panel will also be repainted from the guy who did the hit-and-run on my car.

Your rocker panel and mouldings are black. By painting them same as body colour, it gives the car a lower profile. I did the same with mine before I got the kit and it made a big difference. Dickson and Henry have done the same - ghetto style. :grin:

Ahh okay I was thinking about the wrong parts. But I think I still need clarification as to what the rocker panel is... is there another term that it goes by? haha

Jeff, how much was your whole paint job and how much would it be if I was to get a good paint job, but in a normal colour like black (midnight black, or some dark black) for my whole car?

anish nice chcoice in bodykit.. i am planning on gettnig the for piece of the same style from erebuni.. very subtle nothing major ... rocker panles i think are the black plastic things outside on the bottom of the doors... also if u have ur whole car repainted to a totally different color it would depreiciate the value of the car...repainting the outside ( the whole car) with the same color would make it look much better... ( my opinion) post a new pic when its all done... i'd love to see that body kit on a diff color car other than the white one they have hehehee...

Well the way my plans look right now, I will get it painted the default camry grey that was so popular in early gen 3. So if I get that done I'll post pics.

The kits r nice, but I think u should get a 17" or 18" rim and low down the car, then it will suitable! If u only put the front lip on, I will say depend on what kind of front lip u put! If u put the 1 like Jeff or Tony the Tiger, it is nice. But if u put the front lip like the 1 u showed on the picture, I think it looks weird! That's just my opinion! Sorry if I say something make u feel bad!

Default grey? What does that look like? Just wondering, my car is Platium Silver....

The grey probably won't match your gold rims though...

speedemn · 01-18-2002, 03:29 PM

Umm same colour that my car is right now... :grin:

I can't afford to repaint the whole thing now, so I will be just getting the lip in the same colour as the rest of the car.

Your car is gray? Really? Holy sh*t, I must be totally colour blind because I thought it was a mauve kinda colour! :???:

speedemn · 01-18-2002, 05:30 PM

Well in fact I am colourblind... (like, for real) but it is listed as grey so I say grey, but so far I've heard people refer to it as about 6 different colours... so take your pick! :smile:

The factory colour says taupe but it is not really taupe.
