DottiBlue Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 We're the corners bent? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah both bent... I assume it's a fitment issue.. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sweet! Were they bent from shipping? Are those the kick panels? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 They are the Rear Quarter cards. No kick panels yet. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Pics of said cards installed? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Not installed yet. Today is my Friday so tonight with a little luck and if i don't drink too much and stay coherent... should have pics by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Okay no pics.. I'll take some later today.. Took the dime to San Francisco with my gf for Hippie Hill 2014 and the dime handled well going down there and even did okay on the hills. My passenger side brake has the loudest squeal to it! We sat in 'traffic' with the other thousands of cars trying to find a parking spot. We eventually parked across the street at the hospital with my gf's handicap placard. Today I am installing yet more cards And debating if I should power wash the plastidip from my dime.… My vanity plate request 510BREH was denied. I think I'll make a copy of my reg. and resubmit. Or do something 69 only can do like 69 BREH or 69DIME. Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 And debating if I should power wash the plastidip from my dime.… Yes.....you have that sweet bamboo color under there..... 1 Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 What do ya'll think of this? (this is VALSPAR self etching primer, white primer, and then this dune color two coats.. needs wet sand.. don't have the energy) I want the centers light blue like the rear shelf cover color: 1 Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 LIKE A VIRGIN! For the very first time! Like a virrrrgin.... damn i don't know about you but getting her naked again felt dirty and wrong but oh so right! Power Washer went haywire, and did this.. Like a naked mole Great, now my beers just slide right off.. 3 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like the bamboo. A lot. Maybe cause my first dime was a bamboo 2dr. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Man why would anyone primer over the Beige color? I love that color. It mixes well with Metallic Beer Bottle, and with the warm color spectrum. Quote Link to comment
zianian Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yay parts arrived.. if this is from shipping... Shitty packing and damaged stuff in shipping SUCKS!!! ESPECIALLY when you paid goof money for the stuff. I'd be miffed. 1 Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I installed them as is and yes one of them is bent in as opposed to outwards; and has a chipped area of powder coat.. I will have oics later but I don't understand why they don't mirror the cards or at the very least the laser cut logos because the passenger side is the same as the driver side....... 1 Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 check with gabe he packages very well from everything I have seen you might have gotten two of one side by mistake Just ask Gabe at techno 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't understand why they don't mirror the cards or at the very least the laser cut logos because the passenger side is the same as the driver side....... Because it's more JDM? :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 well they look great and hold well. No vibrations and no plastic backing. Powder coat comes off with two scratches on passenger side and 1/4" gone on the bent corner of passenger quarter card. I assume primer and spray paint would adhere to the little bit of metal? Albeit a bit off in colour - what should I be using to clean the cards? Quote Link to comment
DATSUNtrauma Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Original bamboo color looks great! I like those door cards too. 1 Quote Link to comment
