How's the vinyl wrapped grill keeping up?

No issues with bubbles or peeling?

Wow I haven't updated this thread in forever! Well, for those interested, I no longer have my INGS lip kit and instead I am going to do a custom front bumper. I have all the parts, so if all goes well, it should be ready in a month. I also have carbon fiber side skirts going on next week that'll work really well with the rear. The rear end has been my main focus over the last month; I molded my wald spoiler and had them make it emblemless, and got carbon fiber rear bumper splitters for an R32 Skyline and had them put on my car. The look isn't for everyone but I like it

Here's just a few pics to update this thread...

Now that I have a wheel setup that's more open, the next big thing I need is a BBK!!!
Here's an example of the change in style and side-by-side comparison of new wheels vs old

Old wheels were Varrstoen ES3 19x9.5 19x10.5
vs.
New Wheels are Concept One CS-55 20x9 20x10



Here's my plans for the car aesthetically in the future:
1. Custom Downforce Carbon Fiber Front Lip Splitter
2. BBK
3. Possible Wide Body that'll add 40-50mm more clearance in the front, and 60-70 mm more clearance in the back

Still debating on whether or not to install performance parts such as headers, midpipe, brace bars, sway bars, etc.... We'll see how everything plays out.

Thank you guys! Yeah they look really good on the IS. I thought it was going to be too big for our cars at first but these ones actually flow really well. And they aren't the heaviest out there but they do weigh ~ 30 lbs a piece

Nice front bumper conversion, looks like you must have had a hell of a time trying retro fit the 2014 front bumper on
