Lol pretty excited to put them on today. That's a pic of them mounted on the previous owners car. I go through my dad before I do a mod because he's been doing it forever and usually leads me in the right direction. Me being his kid he obviously isn't ever too excited about spending money on my car but when he saw them he said "oh you gotta get a bbk with these" haha so that's next.

Bodyshop be like "what's prep work?"
-_- They didn't cover underneath the vents when they sprayed them black. Legit, never going to this bodyshop again (Premier Autobody in fullerton) I'm going to make sure she fixes everything and don't plan on coming back. Checked on the car today and the tweeter pods were broken and not mounted on right. Rolled down the drivers side window and the rubber was not placed back properly so the rubber needs to be adjusted in order to roll up properly. Oh yeah, and overspray. Extremely disappointed.
Holy overspray batman!

Thanks! I'm really happy with it aside from the little fudge ups. I've got plans for some pretty big stuff coming up. Should be going in for a tune after I get a couple parts in the mail. 
More pics for fun.

Alright so not many updates lately, just small stuff.
Got in a transgo shift kit which I'll be installing once some of my other engine upgrades come in (mostly bolt-ons) and traded my OEM hood for an Injen intake.
At work they needed to borrow my car and I'm getting some free parts in exchange for letting them use it. I don't really have one particular kit I like, I like to mix and match however I decided to go with the superleggera style fenders and sideskirts and will be holding onto them for a few months until I'm ready for the next big exterior makeover (big plans!)
Until then I'm enjoying my fresh paint and the only things left on my want list is the custom steering wheel and big brake kit. I haven't had my car too much because a few different companies have been borrowing my car for prototyping/media stuff and it's been in the shop almost every other week (getting the paint issues fixed in the engine bay and whatnot, for free of course) but right now I'm pretty content with where it's at. Proper photoshoot coming soon!!

Everything i have on my car right now is stuff we don't make. I had a specific plan of parts i wanted to put on my car at the time and if we had them I would have gone with them, but since we didn't I didn't. Haha that doesn't say anything other than I knew what I wanted and like I said, they're giving me some parts which I'm gonna be happy to put on once I do my next exterior changeup! 
Haha indeed.

Indeed, however I was solid on wanting the entire lip kit on my car to be carbon fiber which extreme dimensions doesn't offer for that bumper. I know most people would just get a full fiberglass front bumper and paint it black to match their CF pieces however I'm picky with that stuff and all the bottom lip pieces on my car are plain weave carbon fiber so they match nicely instead of having that black/carbon contrast.
