origin side skirts are atrocious to deal with when it comes to fitting flush without hardware to hold it in to the fender/quarter

The view of origin side skirts from above after trimming like crazy and still a massive fitment issue.

Rear of the origin side skirts lines up flush with the overfender but for some reason they didnt make it like that for the front of the side skirt vs the fender

This is a vertex side skirts, and you can see how it hides the overfender’s step in

Front of the vertex side skirts match up very well with the front fenders step in as well

Look at the curvature difference on each side skirt, both are supposed to go around the same door for the same car, yet completely different shapes up top. Vertex required virtually no work to fit so well, and origin took an entire day to attempt to get it to sit flush only for it to fail.

Modern day problems require modern day solutions, grafted the top of the vertex side skirts to the bottom of the origin side skirts to achieve good fitment while retaining the flared out look that 𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑾𝑨𝒀 𝑱𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑺 desired.

Most shops will just throw the kit on the car and say “we did everything we could to make it look good” as their excuse.

No excuses round here, only results 👀

Havent posted in a while due to trying to keep some stuff we are working on under wraps until its ready to be released as a product available to the public. But here is one to answer the question a lot of yall have asked us. Why did you choose the name Ikigai Garage? Ikigai is a japanese philosophy that translates to “a reason for being” but this venn diagram best shows what the philosophy really mean.

The term ikigai may be very uncommon and unique here in the states, but it is used commonly in many businesses in japan to represent their level of dedication and love for their work. Thats exactly why i used it for mine, i wouldnt be surprised if there was another ikigai garage out there before us. We didnt go and create a name to be the only ikigai garage out there, we chose it to encourage others to find their reason for being or purpose in life. It took us this long to realize that many people thought it was just a proper noun instead of a word with deep meaning behind it. Thats our fault for not making this post when we first made the page.

The meaning of life is purpose, find your ikigai

Not everyone can afford to spend 15k+ on paint and body work for a proper show car finish. Thats why people often go the DIY route. I hope these help anyone wanting to DIY their own cars. Knowledge is power folks, use it to your advantage!

Just wanted to say before anyone tries to correct us, that if you are trying to fill an area 3/8 in. Or deeper. This is not the method recommended.

-(Metal panels) Metal work is required to bring the panel closer to the original shape before adding body filler.

-(fiberglass panels) fiberglass work may be suggested fiberglass doesnt get dented as easy as metal if at all, but if adding too much filler attempting to repair fiberglass may be counterintuitive as it can weigh down the piece and not actually fix issues like cracks

We pay attention to the smallest details, so the owner of the car doesnt have to. Panel gaps and flush fitment isnt always just re arranging a couple body panels until they fit. Sometimes you have to re sculpt the entire area to make an appropriate clean look. Looking much better but still a long ways to go before its up to ikigai’s standards.

Things like this is one of many reasons why our customers have no stress or doubts about their vehicle when leaving it with us. I would say Ed Do has been getting good sleep for the past week with his car at our shop. But realistically speaking we know he is on that demon time just like us 😈

Some people succeed to live up to the expectations of the ones around them, most succeed to spite the ones that expected less of you, be the one that succeeds out of spite. The feeling of success tastes better that way

Am i encouraging others to not be afraid to DIY paint and body work? Or am i giving out advice trying to create false hope for people so they can try, fail, give up, and then bring it to me to do it right? There is only one way to find out i guess

Bear with me a bit until i figure out a more attention span friendly way to post tips 😭😭

POV: you’re on a casual stroll in some neighborhood and stumble upon a couple of neat cars in a driveway, you look further down the driveway into the garage only to realize that this place is casually building/maintaining some of the most Iconic show cars in OKC.
