Silver parking bulbs (amber delete)
17x8 Avid1 AV32

Silver blinker light (amber delete)
Front bumper license plate mount
25% tint
Subwoofer (I have amp, but need to resarch how to hook it up to stock stereo :\

More pics to come.

Nice!

A customer ordered a Lexon lip from us for his CT. I'll post pics when he gets it installed.

Side view of the car lowered.. I actually wanted lower now lol, but I still scrape on some entrances.. I like the Tanabe. I don't think it felt any more different than stock, rides the same, maybe a bit stiffer.

I know that your car is a '14+ and you're running Tanabes (which is only for the '11-'13 models).

Are you running into any problems with your springs?

I am planning on getting the Megan springs which drops the front 1.5 and the rear .9 (which would make it an even drop since the rear is a big higher to start with) real soon. I would be down for the Tanabes, but since there's about a $150 difference between the two and not that big of a difference in drop, I am just going to save and use that money for coils.

No problems whatsoever. Fitted exactly the way they were supposed to. I doubt there were any suspension differences between 13' and 14'. Just the facelift..

Finally satisfied with Fog lights 2500K . I did have some yellow tint film from Ebay but took them off because I noticed that they started melting for some reason so I just took them off. I let the lights run for a while and touched the glass and it seemed ok, wasn't too hot. Also installed LED to the interior and puddle lights (pics to come)

I had the Nokya yellow bulbs melt away part of my fog lights. Ended up purchasing new LED bulbs (white) and the fog light housing


Burnt bulb with housing melted


Pure white LED bulbs replaced the stock halogen


New Winjet fog housing
