Default Busy weekend installing some parts :)

Had some time yesterday to throw on my Akrym front lip and rear diffuser along with the Intake and Sikky Rear Sway.

Just wanted to share a few pics! After it was all done I was exhausted especially the rear sway... woulda been so simple with a lift but with only a jack and a few jack stands not enough room so you beat your self up doing it.... oh well at least its all done!

front lip





rear diffuser



intake



sway comparison

Amazing ride! The 10TF will pull it all together nicely. I, too, have been checking out ADV's wheels. Great choice with all your mods!

Yea I can't wait to get them. Hopefully beginning of July. I ended up getting a sponsorship from them so saved a few $ and they were really cool to deal with. I ended up doing the polished lip and gunmetal centers

It's crazy how much the diffuser changes the car so much
