So skinny. Should have went with a 10.5" in the rear. Nice looking none the less.

Looks good. I have the silver Hiro's same stagger. Just curious, what is the inlet hole in the front of the car for? Is that for direct air into CAI?

Do you feel a difference in power? and how much did it cost to have that done?

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I thought of going 10.5 in the rear but wasn't sure what tire size to keep VDC happy. So I just went with this setup. The duct in front is the Varis duct. Yeah just to get some cooler air to the popcharger intake. If I remember correctly I purchased and installed the Popcharger and Varis duct at same time so can't tell you if I felt a difference....but theoretically it should work. LOL. I installed the duct myself. It comes with a template and I just traced the outline with marker and used a dremel to cut the bumper....cuts like butter. Very easy install.

The new bumper I have (INGS +1 N-spec) has a duct formed into it already. I will be selling this OEM bumper once I get the new one painted and installed. I have a couple of local buyers interested in OEM bumper.

I am running Eibach springs so about 1" drop. I don't want to be scraping too much with the new body kit. I think I may go with Tein S-Tech, Hotchkis, or RS*R Ti2000 springs since these spring choices drop the car only about .6" That should help some.

There was only a small batch that were affected early on. I think we should be fine as we just got ours recently, but yeah I'll be keeping an eye on them. If they do crack Axis will replace them.

No I did not paint them. Previous owner might have. Thanks for the comments.

This is true. I remember this. I had to replace about 4 hiros for 4 different customers.
