While i was at work i drove past an IS that had them on and that was that the factor for me. I had to get them. Lol. I wasn't feeling any of the aftermarket visors.
Naw man, I don't have a build thread since I haven't done anything to my car yet. Been saving for an exhaust upgrade but trying to find the right price. That is probably when I'll make a build thread or when I plan to get my roof wrapped sometime this month. Haha. Though I did just do my chrome delete myself over the long weekend. It did take quite alot of patience and time...

Yea I posted a thread on the main forum to get some feedback. I think it looks real good for doing it myself. Can you tell it wasn't done professionally? Here are the pictures though:

Hey man looks pretty good for a DIY. i did my chrome delete as well. I couldnt manage to wrap my roof solo, so i had that done haa. Only downfall is you know where you screwed up. And if your like me it bugs me everytime but yet im happy because i did it myself. Lol

Oh for sure it bugs me where you can tell it looks messed up but reality is no one but yourself will notice or unless you tell them. Haha. I'm also going to get a guy to do the roof wrap which I was quoted $300 and another $85 to do the chrome around the grill. Those prices are reasonable while he asked $200 for the window trim that is when I was like naw. Window trim definitely DIY but roof/grill requires a pro.

I looked at the grill and was like damn that looks way too much of a hassle. The corners of the window trim were such a pain and upclose is where you can tell it wasn't done by a pro. Haha.

Haha thanks. Ive been eyeing them for a while now. And finally decided to pull the trigger. Now just gotta find what tires i want to run. You should drop her. Im actually going air here in the next month. I will have my tein s tech lowering springs up for grabs. Ive ran them for bout 1.5k. Fully settled. Its a significant drop and rides smooth. I was impressed.
