Default The mods have began on my 16 GS

So I started with my first mod on my 16 GS F-Sport. I took the car to my friend at Advance Auto Engineering in Cerritos CA. and he clear bra the complete front end with Xpel Ultimate protection and also he wrapped the chrome all around the grill and the windows and the back trunk and also the roof with blk, and tinted the windows with 3M Color Stable 35% all around. So next the wheels are in and getting the BBK done by Stoptech brakes and powdercoated red with F-Sport logos on it. Lowering spring and Exhaust in 2 weeks. Here is some pics of the car and the work getting done.

if you don't mind me asking, how much did the wrapping around the windows run you? love the way your car looks blacked out.

Nice pictures and good choice on clear bra film. I love mine as well. Did you get hooked up because you had a friend do the work?

I think the car will look great by the time you're done with it

Looks hot!
@ $300 thats a steal.
If I knew someone who did that in Broward for that good of a price I'd be in there like swimwear.

We think a like my trim is getting blacked out this week.. And brakes getting colored red! I am keep the front and just upgrade the rears... Man she looks good... Now I see why people keep side eyeing me... Because of the black vinyl up front... They think I am rocking a 16... Which was not my intention but hey!

btw i also got my car protected with xpel ultimate from scott at advanced auto engineering. he does QUALITY work and is very informative and responsive. if anyone is looking to get xpel on their car i highly recommend him. i shopped around and his price was very good compared to other socal shops. wish i had done my chrome trim while i was there now though.
