Do you mine asking me on how much $$$$$.$$ did you spent on these parts?

 

I saw the DuelL AG NA's MINI and its actually really nice. The carbon is amazing finish and its a really awesome build. James had a good build here. Vince and Lance told me about your hood issues. Sorry about what happened!

 

Almost $10K on parts and another $3300 on paint and body work.

 

Yea. That was a real disappointment. I was really looking forward to have one, but everything turned out. The guys took care of me. I wish I was on the west coast. As much as I have talked to Vince over the past six months, it would be nice to meet them in person. I did get to talk to Vince and Cosque via Skype when Cosque was here in July.

 

Nice. That's great. Vince and Lance were great to talk to and meeting them in person for the iPE install was great. I can't believe the hood got jacked up via shipping twice. That's insane. I love that hood too. VIS makes a rep but I know it can't compete in quality like the DuelL hood

 

I had a VIS Racing Extreme GT carbon fiber hood on my '93 Accord years ago. I was a really nice hood.

 

Nice. I've seen the R56 version and it was a little off from what I saw.

 

That is what I have heard. Some guys have said there are fitment problems like huge gaps.

 

Holy snakes on a plane batman. I hope this was at least 1996.

 

Those pics were taken around 2001. Shortly afterwards, I replaced the wheels with a set of Racing Harts and added a CF splitter from Carbon Creations. I also replaced the JL subs and MTX amps with new Coustic subs and amps.

 

So how much did you shell out at the body shop? It's only a 12 hour drive to the bay area.

 

About $3300. That includes having a set of pre-primered fender flares painted and installed.

 

Thanks for getting back to me. That seems very reasonable. as I was expecting it to be double. Your Mini is stunning! Very nice!
