Default ToeKnee's Nebula 3IS non-fsport Build Diary

Hello Everyone.
I purchased the car back in July of 2014 and havent done much to it until recently. I wanted to keep a log of all the changes I have done and add on to it as I go.


The first picture I took of the car.

Next I got the front bumper clear bra and windows tinted. Also I changed all the Interior lights and pudding lights to LEDS and wrapped my grille black



I got some window visors



Superdowns!



Lowered with 20mm spacers all around!
It took me roughly 2.5 hours to installed them. Swapping the springs over was a PIA.



Aeroflow Dynamics Splitter

Aeroflow Side Skirts

Nice build! Where did you get your clear bra installed at? I'm located in Socal about 40 mins from the Longo dealership. Thanks!

Good stuff so far! Splitter+side skirts added a a much more aggressive look.

Look forward to seeing more

I got my clear bra done at Advance Auto Engineering. They are located in Cerritos. Super chill guy.
The clear bra I have is Xpel. Supposedly its one of the best one on the market and it doesnt fade yellow or so I was told. This clear bra actually saved my bumper once already. I was driving on the freeway at night and ran over a broke bumper on the freeway. When I pulled over to look at the damages, all I saw was scuff marks that I easily rubbed away. Lol

The superdowns give the car an awesome drop. The ride comfort went down a bit, making the car slightly more bumpy than stock. Other than that, the car feels much better around corners.
