That's a nice car you've got there. I love the wheels and the blacked out grille.

it is not a version select kit, its complete custom, the vs kit is everywhere
yes its a factory match grille and surround, sent my badgeless grill to get CF dipped, but will sell soon.

also, yes the headlights were painted by myself in the garage, wasnt as fun as i thought :-)

Looks good! Details on the dash kit? Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the e-level sensors?

dash was hydrodipped locally, along with some other parts. on the passenger side i used the autolevel factory mounts, on the drivers side i modded those auto level mounts as they are used for the headlights on that side.
