OMG i got the USDM type r kit here's the story just a few minutes ago i just finished pre drilling my holes for my kit and i was about to start prepppin my kit so i left the front lip in front of my car i was about to start sanding it down and those of u that has remote start you know that your not suppose to leave it in gear! well ur not suppose to leave it in gear or it will take off. well i left it in gear and the car took off taking my lip with it! and slammed it against the car! man i was like man i'm srewed! i went in the shut it off backed up and saw no scratches on my car so that was cool and looked at my lip in disapointment and i was supprised that it was only a little crack...i wished i took some picture of it but i already patched up the crack with bondo:D well yeah just wanted to share the story i'll take come picture of the patched up kit tomorrow morning when i go sand it down to even out the crack well

oh yeah if any of you guy's are wondering if the fiberglass for the USDM type r kit from SS is good from my expierience i believe it's probably the best:D considering that my car basically crushed my kit but ended up with just a crack

what were you thinking???just messing...good to hear that the fiberglass kit holds its own.
You need to get the right type of remote starter first off...in the world, there exists many a remote starter that will not engage unless the e-brake is pulled.

it relieves me to hear how the kit i just bought has quite a tolerance- despite the fiberglass stereotype.

no it's not a april fools joke:D and yeah i did get the right remote start VBSI it's just i was jackin up my car to drill the holes in the rear wheels for my side skirts and i had put it in gear i do that so just incase the car won't move forward and when i had put back the wheels i was too busy putting my drills etc back that i had forgot :confused: that i had left it in gear that's all:D but it's fine now i took some pics i patched it up with bondo and now it's as good as new! well yeah hey VBSI no matter what remote starter u get if you leave it in gear it's gonna take off cuzz the clutch is bypass to remote start the car even though the e-brake is on as well it will still move because remote start is not suppose to be for manual well i guess next time i better be more cautious:p
