Thanks bro... As i said, my car is COMPLETELY blacked out. The bride is fine with that but she wants the emblems back chrome as the trim around the windows are. I really like the grill you are rocking. I may just go with a stock bumper, is-f grill (chrome emblem), and the 2012 headlights. Or should i go ahead and get an is-f bumper also?

When you say run a wire to the IGN, you are saying like an ACC spot so that when you turn the key on the lights come on? I definitely want them to run 100% all the time. Got anymore pics of your car man?

I'm not really a fan of the is f front bumper. Too aggressive looking and there's not too many options as far as lips goes. I like the 2011+ bumper way better

hmmm.... Ill talk to her and come up with something. I dont have any of the parts so I will be buying them all anyway so...

I was looking in your sig pics and do you have any pics of the interior that you wrapped in CF with it installed in the car or did i miss them? Whoever owned this car previously had some double sided tape CF bull**** on it and it looked like hell. Ive already removed it all and wouldnt mind if it was COMPLETELY wrapped and done right as yours appeared to be.

In my fotki album IS journal it should be on the first couple of pages
Here's a pic of the isc grill btw. It's discontinued now. Pretty sweet grill
I just cant justify $315 for it. But it is discontinued so that explains the high price tag

gotcha.... Interior looks great dude! We will discuss that on a later date though. Alright, that wasnt a tough decision. I showed her the 2011 bumper and she was sold. lol. Is the hood different too? I was going to repair the light damage on the hood but have decided not to involve any bondo so is the hood the same or whats the difference on them?

cool... sounds good man. You care to PM me your phone in case i run into issues with the lights, that way i can just text you bout it. shouldnt have a problem but just in case, I want someone that has been there and done it rather than a bunch of "hear/say". Thanks for all your help dude. I think Ill go with the 2011 front with 2012 headlights. Should be good to go.
