I just now noticed the rear r888's are super close to the fenders. To be honest man, this look is pretty good.

You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.

Heres a shot w the Stardast kit on a stock body ( looks great w the fr bumper IMO.. just needs side skirts) at the Tamayima PA in Tokyo ( where all the crazy led lambos park etc)

hey so this bumper is the sht... in case anyone wants to know, the VIS quality on this is killer.. fitment is perfect.. and while its not predrilled, it has the hole divet areas in place.. piece of cake.

has the original under side detail as well.. mini upswooping wheel well ducting, half length undertray splitter piece also.

VERY cool.

and flexible as all hell too.. almost like polyurethane.

it fit right up to my fmic like a glove and theres a ton of room to move my oil cooler up front now, so that we shall do.

So i had an electrical snafu yesterday.. i apparently blew the fusible link on the posuitive post... starter wire conection wasnt the best and i think it pulled too much current. anyways, that will be fixed tomorrow..

but i took the day off and yanked the interior mostly out.. and gutted the decade of overlapping elecrtonics installations.. mismatched wire colors and bullet connectors, scotch lock t taps, etc etc..

eff that.. threw in trash.. rewiring everything up where the psngr airbag used to be... termianl strips w jumpers and relayed direct battery power for illumination, ingition keyed power, radio turn on.. and a terminal strip for constant power as well as a good ground.. makes installation of all my gadgets easy.. and makes future additons a SNAP.

the shipping took 5 days over a weekend to boot..

the packing was perfect and tidy.. the construction is amazing.. the fit and finish is literaly 100% FLAWLESS. My only qualm is they should be pre drilled , but its ok.




Ive never seen better JDM fiberglass work in my life.
