What kind of camera are you using?

I don't think it's doing the car justice.
Doesn't look like the weather was too good either.

Looks good, I see your tails are tinted...what was your method, film or spray?

What other mods do you have planned?

advice: just change the filters. why? 1. it's a ram air design. the kevlar intake tube does very well in insulating the heat already. 2. if you run a custom setup...most likely a cone filter with long instake tube you loose the engine cover and with the ECU stupidly sitting on top of the engine. you need the cover.


on silver car I wouldn't run smoked front corner lights. either paint'em or change it to the clear ones.

check out ebay. they should be around $300 ish. don't be fool by high price = quality parts. This CF lip is made in Taiwan and only one manufacturer's it, so quality are all the same. Just make sure they do a good job on packaging it and not crack the lip during shipping.

when you install the lip it's always best to have a lift so you can work with the lip much easier for install.

mods are not bad, but you should either get clear corners or painted corners. the smoked corners don't match your car.
