Very nice!!! Love the rims too. Have you experienced any rubbing?

BTW, for you Breitling owners, I own a Breitling Headwind. Next watch will either be a Panerai or Jaeger LeCoultre

Wonder what my friend TJ who has the same color car would think of this. You have good taste.

west- looks good! the rears do look odd for some reason. how noticeable is the cf hood? is that the cf hood that was in the FS section here on CL?

Original hood is JDM, and I believe that hood is made-in-china....
I have nothing against MIC, but I wish there is another manufacturer produce it.

Me = JDM forever!

It's actually pretty difficult to notice most of the time. If I don't point it out, most people don't see it. no, it's not the one that's for sale.

The Front requires no drilling, but the rear needs a little hole by the tailpipe. It was extremely easy to install.

Hey TJ. What don't you like about the rear. I just ordered the Fabulous rear kit. Let's see how it will turn out on crystal white. I'll start a thread on my car as soon as I have completed all the mods I have in mind.

yeah thats what i figure, which is a good thing. it's a seibon cf hood, right? how's the quality? also how much lower does the fabulous front lip lower the clearance? i have the oem front lip right now it's ok, but kind of plain...

Yeah, It's Seibon. The quality is great. The Fab. lip doesn't make the car much lower at all, maybe 1cm at most.
