So here are a few pics of the car, nothing special. You will see all my mods so far... Spoon spoiler and antenna, keyless door handle, wheels, and i added some felt to the glove box so all of my shit won't rattle on bumps and stuff. enjoy and comment as you wish.

holi krap, I want the spoon spoiler now that i know how it looks like on a milano sport!!!!!!

revs to 9 08-08-2006 10:29 PM

thanks. i love it. looks great and its reasonably cheap, too.

HFit USA 08-08-2006 10:54 PM

how much is reasonably?

aziatiklover 08-08-2006 11:36 PM

looking good love all the mods

reasonably = $400. nice price for a carbon fiber spoon product i'd say.

Tell me about the keyless, do you break a window? How does it work?

revs to 9 08-09-2006 11:52 AM

Seriously? I have a remote on my key that locks/unlocks the doors.

ladsfamily 08-09-2006 11:56 AM

Ooooo....how did you do the felt? How did you made a template/pattern? Did you use a spray adhesive? Car looks nice.

t-bone 08-09-2006 01:54 PM

That's looking nice. I think I may have to get those wheels too now. I've been wanting to see how they look on a Milano Red Fit.

How did you do the felt in the glovebox? Simply cut and glue?

Packy 08-09-2006 02:55 PM

Curious about how you did the glovebox as well :)

revs to 9 08-09-2006 04:28 PM

Felt idea seems to be a popular one...

To do so i simply went to local hobby store and bought felt. had to buy it by the yard, and only used about 1/4 of what i was given so there is plenty of room for error. I first took my glove box out (2 screws), then cut pieces of paper for each side and taped the sides together to make my template. then i simply traced and cut. the glue i had wasn't doing to well so i just used double sided tape and lined every inch of my glovebox and just pushed the felt down. it's only been 2 days so i don't really know how long it will last, but so far so good.

Yay!! Finally some pics, we've been waiting so patiently! :)

Looks awesome! Picked the right color for sure, and I'm diggin' the Spooon spoiler and antenna. What's next?

next. well, that's a good question. i'm tryin to convince myself that i need to save a little more than i have been. the easiest way to do so is to not have a "next". of course that sucks, so if i decide to continue modding i am looking at the following:

-carbon fiber hood, either seibon or spoon. -OR-
-lowing springs, can't decide which to go with (help would be great) -OR-
-jdm led tail lights & 3rd brake light -OR-
-misc. interior items: shift boot, new shift knob, hid dome light, etc.

Don't really want to risk voiding any warranties just yet, so probably won't touch the engine anytime soon. also, any suggestions would be great.

love the spoiler :)

Was it difficult to do the keyless handle? How long did it take and how much did it cost?

revs to 9 08-16-2006 08:16 PM

the keyless handle was a royal pain in the ass. if i had to do it again i know it would go quicker, but the first time through it took about 7 hours. it wasn't really that difficult, just a lot to get done. i bought another driver's side rear handle and used that for the front. it fits perfectly, but the holes for the screws don't line up (of course) so i added a metal piece to screw to the handle, and then screwed that to the door. that was the hardest part. the rest was just taking shit apart and putting it back together. a lot of it was a pain though. you have to get the lock out to take the handle out,and that requires a lot of work. i have a service manual, and would recommend that to anyone attempting. no pieces were broken in whole process and everything works just as well as it did prior. i can do a full write up if anyone is interested...

and thank you to everyone with the positive feedback. i appreciate the comments.

t-bone 08-16-2006 08:36 PM

I'd be interested in reading a write up on how to do this.

Did you take any pictures during your install?

revs to 9 08-17-2006 06:40 PM

i didn't take any pictures, but i can give a pretty thorough write up. do you have a service manual? i don't know if i can accurately describe the location, size, shape, etc. of all of the clips and such. plus that would add a lot of extra stuff to the write up. if i was really nice i could take the door back apart and snap a few pics, but, um... no.
