Silkk August 06 Shoot - CS, Veilside, Evo-R, Sportmax, etc.
Here are some pics I snapped on Saturday after installing my Evo-R Duct and Tinted Tails. I think it's coming along nicely.
Please note, I know that I did install the duct about 1" Right and 1/2" High of where it's supposed to be installed. It was originally a mistake, but I actually think I like it a lot now. It doesn't crowd the center emblem so much. Also, it flows better into the inner ducting in the radiator wall. I may paint-match the duct, but I'm unsure. Currently it's a perfect match for the front OEM grill and the black/silver theme I've got going. I'm also undecided about buying a new CS bumper and installing it how it should be, but for now I'm not too worried about it...
Comments, Criticisms Welcome!

That is on my "to do list"... flat black, remove reflector.
Not sure if I'm ballsy enough to bake them though. Can someone point me to a good how-to thread with pics?

the easiest way is to put it into an oven. The alternative way is to use a heat gun. If you decide to put it into the oven don't leave it in for too long or with high heat. I done this numerous time with honda headlights... IMO, Taking the headlights apart is not the difficult part. It's the putting it back together part and making sure it doesn't moist up that makes it hard.

Thanks for the compliments fellas; looks like not too many are bothered by the incorrect Evo-R install... Haha.
And to someone above; the tails are spray tinted, not overlayed. They are about the same gloss level as the car, but the lighting just wasn't very good for photography that day. It started raining during the last couple shots...

Thanks Alberto; I was sure I was going to get a bunch of $hit for mounting it incorrectly, but I guess its not a huge deal! I still might decide to get another bumper and mold the V1 Lip and Duct, but who knows... I'm not sure it's worth the 400-500 for the project.
The way it is, it seems to fit well and doesn't look to shabby...
