Just got my blitz kit, some observations, could be a small FAQ

sids · Jan 25, 2003

Ordered it from Extreme dimensions for 399 + 100 for SH, had the thing shipped to the philippines too. cost me another 200.

anyway here are some observations and answers to some of the questions I've seen on the board.

1. The thing is f&^%ing tough, its made by GTP aka importfan.com and its the blue class fiberglass. The thing is at least 3/8" thick and there's plenty of material to be grounded/sanded/trimmed to get a good fit.

2. the front is stock height, its not lower by and inch and is the same height as the stock smiley bumper, scome to think of it, all kits need this stock height to be able to bolt to the bottom of the car.

3. it comes primered already but of course some sanding is needed to get it nice and smooth.

4. It comes with diamond wire mesh, which I'll replace because the mesh is too big for me, the holes are about 1.2" wide.

here's the part where i need suggestions

the front bumper has provisions for corner lights like a supra, sicne supras here are even rarer than DSMs, is there another light I can get that will fit?

same goes for the back, the stock reverse lights won't fit, what reverse lights can I get?

bmwmon · Jan 25, 2003

for the reverse lights yoiu need the 97-99 eclipse reverse lights

Soldier101 · Jan 26, 2003

got mine from importfan too, fits your exact definition

i bought supra turn signals to go in those previsions...yay

NOmoreDSM · Jan 26, 2003

Do the supra lights look decent?

Soldier101 · Jan 26, 2003

big time, i like em a lot

sids · Jan 26, 2003

well I currently have the half moon reverse lights, are the 97-99 lights round? because the hole is slightly oval, doný like how its right next to the license plate, I like the ones where they are far away from the plate.

gee wonder if I could just ask the bodyshop guy to cover it up and stick some other reverse lights at the back, any sugestions?

Is that primer or gel coat that it came delivered in. There is a big difference.

Thanks,

Michael

So wait, the front end is stock height? So it wouldn't look stupid if I kept the stock side skirts and rear?

traxtar511 · Jan 28, 2003

just hope that the blitz kit isnt as popular in the philipines has it is here.
It almost looks stock now that ive seen it soo many times.

good luck.

well it came in a nice cute baby blue color, the bodyshop dude told me that its a primer already, ready to be sanded and painted.

Yep its stock height, well as far as stupid goes, it would just seem half assed if you just have the front.

Nope, I'm the only dude here with the blitz front so I don't have rampant copying problems

My friend got the rudora kit, whew

everyone here has the crummy smiley bumper

Good point, maybe I'll think about it first, I just need a new front end cuz mine is screwed up.

just spoke to the bodyshop guy, turns out the god damn smiley bumper uses 95 lights which are longer and don't fit, anyway he did say that he can mold it from an existing bumper he has.

and he said something about the rear bumer having to take of a support underneath

anyone know about this? I now that the front bumper support needs to be taken out

jp91gsx · Jan 29, 2003

i read up alot on this cause i was planning on buying a 2g way back...as for the 95-96 2g, ur gonna have lots of modding and molding and sanding and other garbage to get it fixed cause, yes, the headlights are slightly longer than those of the 97-99. the back bumper will also have the same problems cause of mounting purposes. i also heard somewhere that the 95-96 tail lights are slighly, slightly different than those of the newer and the back bumper needs modification to fit it.

good luck

sids · Jan 29, 2003

well one advantage of bodyshops here is that labor is dirt cheap, but am thinking of just getting the 97 lights, some shop here actually sells them and he's stuck with it for the longest time since there's no one to sell it to

my friend's rudor kit went in fine. damn blitz

there will be slight modding of the rear bumper since the lip doesn't extend far enough to be bolted, damn god thing i'm having this sponsored

Soldier101 · Jan 29, 2003

my biltz front fits like ass, gotta get the body shop to fix that, the rear and sideskirts fit fine though

Just go with some 97-99 projector lights. Instead of supra lights you could maybe mount fogs :dunno:

sids · Jan 30, 2003

hahaha, paid a visit today and looks like i don;t need 97-99 lights, here's what the bodyshop dudes did

<img src="http://www.compass.com.ph/~sca/DSC04333.JPG">

<img src="http://www.compass.com.ph/~sca/DSC04331.JPG">

they ground of the edges of the kit and gonna mold it to the 95-96 lights.

heck not bad for around $40 work, all in fitting grinding and molding

I completely wrecked my front end yesterday, so I'm gonna buy the blitz kit and see how bad it looks with just the front end. If it does look like crap, I'll just get the rest of the kit. Good thing is my brother does autobody so I can get the labor for free

sids · Jan 31, 2003

nice to be in same boat

well, gonna check on the thing again tomorrow, had them remove the headlights so i can take it apart and paint the inside black

my_gsT95 · Jan 31, 2003

I have a 95 GST and the blitz front fit perfectly fine with the Projectors i had when my car was white. I went and upgraded to a 97+ stock body kit and everything bolts up just fine. I would suggest just getting the stock 97+ headlights as everything will look/fit better. Projectors dont light up for shit at night.

Good luck
