Here is my new mod. I modified the original grille and all the chrome with CF sticker. Look more racing than before now.

Springs are not cut and it should NEVER cut. If you want it lower, you can change the thinner spring pads or u should get the coilover kit.

Did you make those yourself or buy?

If buy, where and how much?

I can't stand the silver on my black and would love to get some!

Thanks

Peet, That's a DIY job, you can get the CF sticker from EBay or you can paint your chrome. It will be easier for you to match the color because your color is black. The job is not hard, but it takes time. This is my first time and it takes me 8 hours to get the job done. Good luck!

Did you have to remove each chrome piece or did you just put the stickers over the chrome on the car?

I've originally thinking about doing that, but thought myself ain't that good of a worksman. I might do it if it ain't too hard. any DIY instructions? do you need to take off the chrome strips if so, how? etc.

and do you have the link for the CF sticker?
