Ahh fantastic thanks so much!!! Would the risk of rolling my fenders out weigh the benefits? I am afford of cracking my paint!!!

If you go to a quality shop that knows what they're doing, the paint shouldn't crack.
I had a friend do mine and they didn't crack for a couple years until I wanted to get them rolled more. I went to a less reputable body shop and that caused me to have to get new fenders Most people on here have rolled & pulled fenders and their paint doesn't crack.
If you're rubbing on the bumper tab, you most likely won't have to roll your fenders after you relocate the tab.

So already the car got hit on base 5 days old(to me) and already has a passanger side door with a bunch of wrinkles in it and scratches. I got most of the scratches out but I can't stand the wrinkles. Talking to my body shop guy this weekend.

I am also trying to get rid of the front license plate bracket, what parts do I need to repair it?

My first attempt on this car doing carbon vinyl wrap. I am not very good at this, but came out pretty well!

Car looks great! I like the wheels and the lowered look.

Thank you, just ordered a bunch of stereo equipment and also getting ready to order coilovers!

well update time!!!!

Thanks to a lot of people on here I ordered a lot of stuff.

Yesterday I paid for a carbon fiber steering wheel
I ordered a bunch of stereo equipment and a custom made box from Zenenclosurers.com, gunna wrap it in blue suede. JBL door speakers running off a 4 channel pioneer amp, pioneer shallow well subs and a pioneer amp to go with it and a audiocontrol processor

Also ordered a cusco front strut tower brace and bc racing coilovers with swift springs.

I will update with pics along the way I am very excited to get all of this together, needed to fix the sound and the suspension on there now is way to low for my taste in the front!

You're car is looking good! How did you cut the gear shift area when you did the carbon fiber? When I did mine the edges kept lifting around the chrome area.

You make me miss my 2011 is350 F sport more than I already do. The lease was up so I had to upgrade. Wish there was a 2013 f sport is350 with less than 20 miles or so where I could have gotten into. Congrats and enjoy. Best bang for buck, this car.

It was a little difficult doing so, just took a razor blade and used some heat to stretch it around the edges but it was a pain for sure. It looks a lot better in pics then person, but I am just OCD. Either way it looks better then that weird baby blue color stuff for the console!

As for my current projects here are my updates






I got a cusco strut bar today, but when I went to install the bar it didn't fit. It bolted up fine but I couldn't shut the hood!!! Any ideas?

kkilmore89

well stereo is installed. The sub box came out pretty clean. Wish I had a better way to mount the amps but they are hidden behind the box. Makes for a pain adjusting everything and sucks when things come loose from moving the box which they have. But these things hit really hard.

What does everyone think?

Here is my new steering wheel upgrade as well!

I have to say I really am enjoying working on this car. My previous cars were fun to work on as well, but the enjoyment of upgrading this car is completely different then anything besides my bike to work on. Its just such a nice car to own
