Well done...Looks good from what I can see. Now upgrade that license plate light to LED to finish that off.

Yeah, and the lights in the trunk too. I updated the lighting on the front...did the parking lights, changed out the low beams to HIDs, smoked side markers with LED and 5000k diamond philips fogs.

Got a little lighted out.

Front CF Lip comes in tomorrow. I really hope that doesn't result in my having to take the front bumper off.

Looks sick man! You should pull the exhaust tips out just a bit with that diffuser.

Carbon fiber lip is a piece of cake to install, especially if you have 1 or 2 more people to help center it while you drill the screws in.

I have to admit, I don't know how people install these without taking the bumper off. I was fooling around with fitment, planning out the double sided tape, holding it in place with painters tape, etc. I just thought it was going to come out looking like crap. So... I took the plunge. It was a lot easier to work with it off, and get it just right with no gaps.

I backed the car up on ramps when I did mine to get some better working height. Looks great. Nice job

Yeah, I've read on here about having to pull them, and at least was mentally prepared. Your right though, they have to come out now.

I'll try and solicit some friends to help with the lip, though when I texted one with what I had just done tonight, he said what's a diffuser?

Maybe you'd be interested in swinging by and making a new friend.

I use to run a fully modded B6S4 several cars back, thus my handle (i've carried it over from my Audizine days).
