Same question I have been asking myself 3sm1l . If you check my car under the hood it says it was manufactured in 2012. I always thought it was because I didn't get the top of the line package here in canada that included the new style headlights is why I don't have them because I have the new style tailights.

That's is most likely the case.
Car looks sick, the wheels could be more aggressive though.. perhaps spacers in the future? I think a wrapped gloss black roof would really complement your car.

Thanks ernestfyu I really appreciate the compliment. I was planning on getting a new rim setup this year as I am on a budget and I saw a set of varrestoen ES7's on a red is that I want on mine, along with wrapping the roof and doing a few other things.

Wow! Awesome looking build you got there!

Great build man. How's it running on the BC's? I have an AWD as well and still running on H&R springs. I want to go lower but so many issues reported around here..

"Next I decide to wrap the grille and mirror accents gloss black, paint the brake calipers red and plasty dip the rims black as I had very little money at the time to use on the car."

A couple of questions:

1) What was the process in painting the brake calipers? i.e. did you take them off the car to paint - what type of paint did you use?

2) When you painted the mirrors and grill, did you tape off the areas you did not want to spray - what type of tape did you use and how long after you painted did you take the tape off?

Your car looks super sick...very nice!!!

I also noticed you blacked out the back emblem on the trunk which is exactly what I'd like to do - and also black out the front.
How did you do it?
Thanks for any help or advice you can give!

Hey ExVOLVxE I wrapped using gloss black 3m vnyl wrap on the grill I didnot paint it, I did it by taking the grill off the car as it made it easier to wrap. I didn't take the calibers off when I painted them instead I covered the rotors and all other parts and let them dry I used mighty car mods for reference. You can get paint at any auto store.

Hey ExVOLVxE,

To blackout the emblems on the trunk you can either remove them from the car or tape off the area surrounding them then coat them it a couple layers of plastydip.

With BC's there 32 way adjustable so you can go as low as you want. The only issue I have run into though is the vibration issue if you lower it 2 inches or more with AWD. But that itself is not a big issue as it only happens once in awhile. To fix this issue I heared bc coils with swift springs might do the trick but I will have to do more research into that.

They feel really good I would say almost identical to stock.
