Bodykit Installed

McSteve · 07-16-2008, 11:10 PM

Hey guys, so it took a little while, but I finally got my bodykit installed. As well as some 25mm Eibach Spacers for the rear and 5mm spacers for the front. The Eibach design is great. No need to replace studs, since they are mounted in the spacer. And they are still hubcentric.

Oh and excuse the imperfections. I installed it myself, first time I ever installed a bodykit or used 3m tape (that stuff is vicious)

SuBXeRo · 07-16-2008, 11:26 PM

looks good man

hows the weather? looking at the pics i was guessing north scottsdale?

Norkoastal · 07-16-2008, 11:31 PM

I really like the front lip.... I would personally swap the sideskirts for stockers as that kit has a little too much going on toward the rear door.. The rear is a tough call as I haven't seen any kits that add much to the tail of the I35.. Good job on the install as you can always swap out if need be..

ShippedOut · 07-17-2008, 12:01 AM

Lovely just lovely... any info on where I can buy the front lip.

*n3985* · 07-17-2008, 08:45 AM

Clear side markers + chrome rear turn signal bulbs = win

Car looks great!

*essential1* · 07-17-2008, 10:31 AM

I like the front. I'd prefer the factory sides though, but if your i30 didn't come with them, it's a good sub. If the rear of the kit didn't wrap all the way around, i would love it. But right now, the design makes it look like the back of the car is huge. Overall, it looks great though.

96gxeblaxima · 07-17-2008, 09:05 PM

Thanks, took me from about 3:30 till 7:30. A lot of it was cleaning up and stuff tho. And I had some fitment issues. Should've testfitted it and changed it so that it would fit right BEFORE getting it painted. Argh... well you live an you learn lol.

96gxeblaxima · 07-17-2008, 09:40 PM

yea i know the feeling lol

McSteve · 07-17-2008, 10:19 PM

Here I made a couple of before and after ones so you guys can see.

SuBXeRo · 07-17-2008, 10:31 PM

I heard that actually from a friend the other day. mmm monsoons, gotta love em. i got a couple friends that are from ahwatukee. About this time last year it fricken hailed in tempe, my poor was out in it. I thought it had seen the last of snow like particles lol

dineth00i30 · 07-17-2008, 10:37 PM

sexy can i ? lol very nice and im very jeallous too. and i hate ppl like you... just when i made my mind to save up money to buy a car with a manual tranny with high reving 4 banger you post pics like these.. now how am i suppose to save my money?? damn you.

bytheway get some bigger rims and make it look VIP!!! but the wheels you have now are not bad.

McSteve · 07-18-2008, 02:54 AM

@Subxero
Haha, that's exactly what I thought when I moved to AZ from Germany lol. Imagining X-mas under palm trees and 80 degrees weather... but not so much!!! haha. Are you living in Tempe? I'm going to ASU and live on college and southern.

@Dineth00i30
don't go

on us with that V-tech! Go lease a hybrid yaris and put the money you save on gas into the Max! oh and how much bigger you want me to go? Those are 18s haha, I guess you can't really tell cos that damn lip makes em look smaller.

*Max4Speed* · 07-18-2008, 08:43 AM

Kit looks nice but those wheels are making the car look ugly IMHO. What size are those?

i meant like 20's with a whole lot of negative camber son!! lol haha im a kid . your car looks fine the way it is. but the thing is tho im only 18 and owning a 4cyl makes a whole lot more sense right now so i will sell this later on...tho i will really miss the comfort of this car... but im pretty sure i will on the forum even after i sell it..

ronan_zj · 07-18-2008, 08:35 PM

really nice kits. where did you get those kits? did u get the headlight from ebay(using D2s bulb??)?

Norkoastal · 07-18-2008, 09:24 PM

^^^^^ Ionic dynamics

pattyt · 07-19-2008, 02:48 PM

im really liking it, how much does that cost?

McSteve · 07-20-2008, 07:26 PM

@max4speed
those are 18'x8 with 235/40s on them.

@ronan
yeah Ionic Dynamics and I have a thread about the headlights here on the org too. Just check threads started by me.

@patty
The kit costs 700 shipped and it cost me another 500 to have it painted.

HomerMAC · 07-22-2008, 07:49 AM

YUMMMMYYY... looks like a white chocolate candy bar with 4 dark chocolate pieces in it.. YUMmmm... sorry a bit hungry..

THAT looks awesome.. Im always a fan of the OEM dark T headlights but i can overlook it in this case due to absolutely sexy... If i didnt put somuch money down on my a32 iw ould get an a33 with this kit..

Thanks for your opinion, but it's not "aweful" it's awful. If you think you can make a better design then please take a shot at it

ChrisMan287 · 08-16-2008, 10:01 PM

I like's it man. Everything looks great. Keep up the good work.

*StL I30* · 08-16-2008, 11:48 PM

Great looking I30!

I like those sideskirts, compliments the lines of the car much better than the OEM skirts IMO.

ronan_zj · 08-17-2008, 12:21 AM

it will be better if Ionic Dynamics can make dash kit, vent visor, stuff.

thanks for the spelling lesson.

i don't do this chassis, but i have taken a shot at designing a 4g kit (as a matter of fact i pmed you more than once when i was looking for a manufacturer) but couldn't find anybody that would build it to my standards so i let it go.

don't get too attached to your product. something like a body kit is very susceptible to personal taste. i was only giving my honest opinion, sorry i didn't like it as much as you do.

Totally uncalled for.

Everyone is entitled to share their opinion, whether positive or negative. You take what people say about your products way too serious.

***ionicmax*** · 08-17-2008, 02:20 PM

Wizzi, if you think it was uncalled for then please take it up with the mods, that was MY opinion as well and I'm also entitled to voice it. If you have anything else you would like to say then please PM me.

BLACKonBLACK98 · 08-17-2008, 04:56 PM

so what opinion did you state?

you know what... nevermind. i apologize for my comment. i was thinking more as an opninion of the op's car and not a diss on your product. either way, everyone has there own style and as long as the op is happy with the look and ionic is satisfied with the products they produce then everyone should be happy.

anytime you want to talk business pm me. i'd be more than happy to give making a couple kits a shot, i'd be interested to see what the numbers looked like.

tcasmarcus · 09-11-2008, 02:06 AM

Very nice car! Great pics, and the kit looks good!!

ZGadson · 09-11-2008, 08:20 AM

I love the kit. Looks awesome! I knew I should have gotten the white i35 instead of the black one.

Just my opinion though - black rims have always looked like dounuts to me. On a black car it looks OK, but the contrast between the white car and the black rims makes it looks like its got no wheels.
