Junction Produce JZS147 project build part II

Whats up VSC members here are some current pics of my Junction build. So far the car and the kit has been painted and the kit installed. The kit went on flawlessly and fit like OEM parts. You can tell Junction takes that extra step in making their parts fit like OEM, even the body shop was impressed at the quality of the pieces and how well they were made. I ended up installing the parts myself so I could pay a little more attention to detail. Im very satisfied in the way this kit fit and cant wait to finish it off. All thats left to do is air sus and tires for the Scara's. Here's some pics

The car still needs to be wet sanded and buffed also I still need to clean up the fender wells and clean up the brakes. 1/2 way there cant wait to get this thing on the ground and rolling, right now its in my garage waiting to be finished.

Wow... looking hot!

What are you going to do with the fender wells? Sounds like something i should do...

Is that safe though? Having the car up on 4 Jackstands? Looks kinda like its just floating there :)

Very very nice, so exciting to see a car come together like that.


One nice suggestion i received when i got my car painted, was to get some black vinyl, or the 3m rock chip vinyl, and cover the painted black area where the sideskirt wraps into the wheel well, right behind each tire.

If you don't, you will quickly see the paint get chipped out, and u'll have white spots in there... makes it all funny lookin

Keep us updated! :cool:

I've "heard" that those clear bras start to haze after a few years... but then again, your car is just black right? No pearl etc?

It should be fine then... if you ever need to remove it tho.... :(

the clear bra material is removable so even IF it does haze or yellow, it will come off easy.

anyway, i cant wait to see it finished.
