VictorGR.. Pimpin' new outlook

I got a call from Victor yesterday just as I was leaving the office that he'd visited Soon at Mansion II and getting some new "peripherals" for his freshly coated RX-7. So after packing up, I was quite motivated to get a look at his newly styled FC since he's always had a unique sense of style.

I arrived a little later than expected due to a huge accident involving an industrial bus and 6 bikes, but that's a whole different story altogether.Here's when we caught Vic performing his JDM pose with his beaut yellow FC.
Nice rump with an excellent "circular-motive-thingy" decal with sakuras. Being the exceptional one, always, the sakuras are cut out of translucent pink tinting sheets.

VGR's new additions to the outlook. As always, Soon's workmanship is flawless.

Excellent install agreed to by the looks of that huge smile on Vic's face.

Thanks for calling me up for the meet Vic. Cheers on the fantastic outlook. Do call me up for a viewing when the paint's done ok? Cheers!

p.s. I just couldn't help but get a vanity shot of the Silver Banana, seeing how the rims shone after a good wash!

Further extension

As promised, the last installment to the body "enhancement" project is the installment of the final two diffusers. Brainchild of Fer and Soon. As usual, the placement took longer to decide than the installation itself. Sorry Soon :( Up close...

Pics are ponna dark since it was taken impromptu at night with my handphone cam. Thanks to Mansion II and Soon for the superb job done.

Mini skirt and lips

Contrary to what you may have conceived in your corrupted little mind, and I know the title sounds like a catch-phrase for liposuction and botox :P However, there will be multiple updates today as I've not done so for ever such a long time. So bear with me whilst I blabber on...

About two weeks ago, I brought the Silver Banana over to Soon at Mansion II after he'd called up about putting me up with a surround to complete the looks. So I dropped the SB off for Soon to work his magic and after a couple of hours, all modifications and mouldings were done up and the skirts were ready for masking and paint.

Mark and I were there to perform the masking and painting... He did the masking (which was tough due to the curves), and I did the grinding down and painting. Which turned out quite sucessful except for a few areas that needed putty.
Ponna excellent job macha.. Thanks a bundle.
Once we were done with the paint and everything was glossy and shiny, Soon got to work to install the skirts. These were done without rivets or screws as I'd requested not to drill holes in the chassis. As usual, Soon did a fantastic job... This dude is gifted, I tell ya!
This is a profile shot of the complete works.

Rear 3/4 vision. The Silver Banana does have a fat ass doesn't she?

Rear shot of my banged up bumper... Again, I'd just like to say I hate bikes. Or at least those that like to ride fast and can't control their machines.

As customary after every visit to the fiberworks shop, it's time to wash down the Silver Banana. It was whence I'd realise that the Silver Banana is indeed a huge ass mutha'tucker. Time to downsize methinks... *mind churns*... *evil grin*

However, a week down the road and there was unanimous vote to add in canards to the fiber concoction already present. So Soon got to measuring and conjuring me up a set of whiskers.
Installed and looks excellent. Just for looks though... Hehehe...
As I was beginning to think that we were complete, my mech (and main advisor) Fer had a brilliant stroke of imagination and suggested more items!

A million thanks to Mansion II for the excellent job, and to Soon no less, for the tedious attention to details and care during the installation.
Check back soon for further updates.

Stiff Lip~!

It was a sunny albeit boring Saturday afternoon and Soon and I were just lazing at Mansion II after having our lunch. There were a multitude of tasks but we were just too lazy to move. Then Soon suddenly got up from his seat, grabbed his drink and L&M in one hand and a lower front lip in the other.

Fitting ensued with much chatter in his usual jovial manner. Lo and behold, after telling me for months that there are no front skirt (lips) for the Perdana, he'd just got his rusty gears cranking and lit up a bloody-big-lightbulb!

Plans were made and modifications and final fitment was to be on Monday evening. We both went home feeling mighty satisfied that night, him for finally thinking it up, and I, just glad that he did :P

Monday evening came past the longest day at work I'd ever had. Time seemed to crawl and grind to a painfully, weary trudge. The clock struck 6p.m. and I was off like a rocket! I made it to Mansion II just in time as Soon was just finishing up a job at hand.

Soon measuring up the front skirt.

He is cutting up two skirts to make one for the Silver Banana.
Centering was done and accurate placement on the bumper's grooves were immaculate.

Trial fitment to get measurements for the extensions to be made.

Double chin!

Corner stubs being fabricated and fitted.

2 become 1... The story of the fiber extension :P (Lame joke, I know)

Soon reinforcing the lip for touge use.

More enforcement and a whole lot more robust.

Grinding off the fiber strands and prepping for install.

Final fitment...

Finally, the finishing touches had been put on and this is the outlook. *Ignore the horrible scar I got from a motorbike*

My first bit of outlook modification courtesy of Mansion II, much thanks to Soon and Vincent for a great job done. I love the extra little flare you guys had put in!

I'm still hesitant, though, on what color I should paint this little addition. A smooth satin black for the racer-boy look or a flowing metallic silver for the OEM take? Any ideas? Do drop me a comment.

p/s If you readers notice, the grill is gone as well. Check back for updates on that ;)

Dan's new facade!

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon as we were all still super sleepy on account that we arrived home around 6a.m. and a couple of us had work that very morning. I on the other hand did not have work, but due to force of habit, I woke up by nine and was watching Transformers The Movie with a bowl of cereal.

Then off I went to get my car checked and to have lunch with Fer Fer (my mech). After which, Daniel had gotten off work and come by to hang out and Eujin came by to get his Kancil tinted. We were chatting away when Mansion II's boss called Daniel up to inform him that his EK's bumper had arrived.

Eujin hopped into my ride and we convoyed with Daniel to see his much awaited new facade. I use facade as his EK had a gentle front for the monster within! But now, all that is going to change... He's getting a meaner look to match its bite!

The new bumper matched up to the old frontage.
After much discussion and debate on how the rump was going to look, the ugly ass spoiler was removed and here's Dan taping up the holes for "waterproofing".Daniel was still unappeased by the proposals and were looking East to Japan and Taiwan for inspiration.
Lookit the level of concentration, matching picture to actual feature (pun intended!).
Soon always had great ideas and after a few proposals, brother Dan was happy and went merrily on his way to rest for another night of un-sleep!
