Hey guys,

I have a Shinoda/Mears bodykit and was struggling with the thought of what colour to use with it. i have performed a colour search and all i can find is Torch Red, Black, Steel Blue and Charcoal. do any of you C4 nuts out there own/have pics of a Shinoda/Mears car with stock of even custom paint?

Thanks a whole heap guys!

No, I don't. But that was one of the prettiest aftermarket kits on a car that I've seen. I also met Larry Shinoda at Bloomington Gold the year he brought out that kit, I think, '91 or so. Good luck with it and plz show us pictures when you finish (or even as you go along with the process, and call it Shinoda/Mears something so we'll/I'll know it!).

i bought a 90' 6-spd car a few years ago which had a shinoda kit for it, and am now in the process of doing the install. what a pita, and the install instructions are really poor, not to mention that not all the bracketry are there, so its fab time. i am planning on painting it a candy apple red or a deep pearl blue. corvette1990 sent me instructions from his and he had similiar problems as well. try this website

Hey guys,

When i bought my kit 18mths ago and i got it shipped to a friends house and much to my disgust, she left it out in the weather and the instruction booklet if absolutely !@#$%*. would any of you have a copy that you could sell me?
Thanks for the links but i have been on digitalcorvettes.com before. tis a beautiful kit, but hard to choose a colour for! i'm thinking corvette 90-91 Steel Blue! what you guys think? good choice?

Thanks a heap!

I think Admiral blue would probably be nice too.

Here's one at the auction at Bloomington Gold '05. 1992, 383 Lingenfelter, A4, Boyd wheels. Did not sell at $20K reserve price. BUT, after it was driven out to the parking area there was a guy hustling along after it to talk with the seller. Might have sold.
Beautiful car.

Wow, I REALLY like that. Who makes that hood scoop? What color is that paint? Somebody tell me about this Vette!

Is everyone here installing the original kit or a fiberglass copy? I recently picked up an original urathane kit which includes everything including exhaust tips.

BTW- That is camilian paint ... changes color depending on how light hits it. Its cool, but I have never liked it on a car.... and its VERY EXPENSIVE!!

VERY EXPENSIVE is not even close !!!!!
my father knew someone who painted there car that color and they payed about $300-$400 a PINT just for the paint

That kit, when installed on a C4 produced some very impressive aero numbers

My kit is an original. It has the exhaust, emblems, both fiberglass and urethane door panels. I'm using the urethane, although I read they had some problem with them and switched to fiberglass. I was suprised to see both in the kit.

The owner used to live close to Lexington, KY...not far from me. I wanted to meet up with him to check out his car, but he was moving, and never got a chance. sweet vette tho. i believe he is a forum member

i was looking again, and never noticed, but the shinoda kit eliminates the body moldings. looks pretty good

XtremeTuning

Ok, we know that the kit improves the aeodynamics, but does it raise or lower the under hood temps? I am installing this on a '90 vert with a supercharged 396 and was worried about under hood heat.

Thanks,
