Slow progress over this week, but some essential things were taken care of.
tired of having no trunk button.. and the 6000k led strip plate light was "meh"... i wanted brigher light, dispersed thru a lens vs a strip.. and i wanted 5000k... these do the trick.
will be fully hidden in the bumper.
Time to add some major horsepower lol.
as you can see below, they make moving the car around a breeze lol.
i also added in my carbon eyelids.. some peole dont like them, but patience.. they will all look good in the end.
necessity is the mother of all invention.. and I think I am going to attempt to wrap this car myself.
Im going to rely on heavy use of knifeless tape, and were practicing on an easier car soon.. my friends 240.

a few more pics from last weekends work..
evo r pod preview
flash kills the shot but i got the Nardi all black edition in as well
^^ finished the passenger side cooler core courtesy of Mishimoto... also got the splitter bracing main cage done, painted and installed.
and a few shots of the Garage Mak carbon fiber duck bill lip spoiler.. no distance shots as i was just holding it in place.. but this gives you the idea on the profile.
very cool .

here's the only spot i have a slight clearance issue.. easily cut out and notched if necessary.. will still allow me to air r it out and to get it nice and centered w the bumper.
