Just the side. Personally not a fan of any lip for the front, and the rear gfx lip isn't for me. (Don't like the tacked on look)
I do have plans for the front and rear eventually, just saving for a house and modding a car don't exactly go together

So with a little free time I went ahead and did the free version of the toms gt shifter. Def not worth $90 for the jumper harness but it does feel more natural shifting now (not that I ever actually use it haha)
Also had a chance to work on the gtus a bit
Painted barrels

Brushed lips

Looking pretty decent now. Still need to remove the rest of the pinstripe and decide if I'm going to polish the lips or clear coat the brushed. They're being sold anyways along with the tsws in favor of some 19s

Kinda undecided at the moment. All depends on what these other wheels sell for and if anything good pops up!
Preferably something simple and 5 spoke. We shall see, modding the car isn't top priority haha

Ended up wrapping the roof yesterday. Didn't wrap the antenna or drip rail covers due to lack of time. Not horrible for our first attempt, but will probably be redoing it in the future. Just depends.. May end up just painting it, not a huge fan of how the gloss is slightly gray under the sun and would prefer the depth of painting


Also picked up an eBay grille to attempt to modify to fit the 09.. Searched and didn't find any info on actual dimension differences so for the price figured I would try it out. Emblem holder just screws on, if I can make it work ill probably run badge less (whole reason for buying this vs a f sport insert)

Annnnd also been watching this dude for a friend 8 week old English bulldog

Not much as far as updates. Car goes in for carbon build up tsb this week.
Picked up a roof spoiler:

Wrapped it:


Need to get more vinyl to wrap the rail covers and antenna before I put in on though

Also picked up the parking brake pedal cover:


And finally got the license plate frames for my company.. Euro on jdm I don't care, gotta rep my company! Excuse the dirty car


Still waiting on the right set of wheels and to finally suck it up and buy the rest of the black headliner stuff.. Just can't justify $800 on pillars etc that I still need

Thank you sir. Even with 3 people it was a bit of a pain, but all in all it looks decent enough to leave it for a bit

So bought some bc dampening extenders after seeing a post on here about them being universal,

Just to find out the Megan's adjustment is too large

So I had some spare parts of mine that I make that just happened to fit over.
So with 5 mins of drilling and tapping we have this:




I'll probably end up machining a direct replacement, but this functions perfectly, and since its hidden no one will care that the holes aren't perfectly aligned

Also tossed in the black c pillars to give me some motivation to order the rest of the parts. I figure seeing it mismatched will light a fire under my *** vs not caring since all the parts are put away in boxes


All I need is the sunroof shade and I can finally toss it all in

And yes I probably could have opened up the end of the original bc part, but I did not have proper tools at the house to do so
