Did you do the chrome around the Windows yet?

Also do you have pictures of how you masked off the grill?
I did the window trim yesterday. It took a ridiculous amount of time to tape everything off. I masked around all the chrome running into the weather stripping by 1/8"or so. Then I taped on sheets of plastic to the tape I already laid down. It took ALOT of time and patience but it was worth it. The reason I let it run into the weather stripping was because I didn't want to have to go back and touch it up later. One note if you do it this way. I found it east totake a straight edge razor in between the chrome / weather stripping before pulling the tape off. This allowed me to #1 not peel the plastidip off the chrome and #2 allow me to easily peel it off the weather stripping. I didn't take any pictures until the end because I ended up doing the wheels and painting the rear badges gun metal all in the same day. The only thing I didn't do was the lug nuts because I was tired and it was 100 degrees outside. Here's the finished product:

Looks dope! Although I can't say I'm a huge fan of the ALL blacked out look, I think a contrasting color wheel would look better. Also, did you just spray around the sideview mirrors or take them off?

After I asked I found them immediately so it was a premature post. Thank you though.

That lip looks good!! How is the ground clearance? I've been pricing out lips and I'm worried about dropping $400 and have the lip get destroyed from scraping.

RSR down springs, I just got the car a week and a half ago and I already lowered it and added rear and front carbon fiber spoilers lol

Thanks, I'm quite low in the front. But tomorrow I'm putting 19" wheels so hopefully it will pickup a little bit

I'll get some nice pics soon but here's an iphone shot. installed Tein H Tech springs. Was going for a premium sport/luxury car professional look. I'm very happy with it!

I installed my beat sonic bypass last week but today all my cables and armrest organizer arrived. The organizer is the perfect way to hide all the cables needed to mirror the iPhone.

Yup - love the organizer. The large space is perfect for sunglasses...you dont have to worry about it falling to the bottom of the console.
