Lil fall update.

So I purchased the Wald style side skirts, rear lip and spoiler but had to sell them due to an ER visit for one of my daughters... I think that is okay because I am still really torn on what sides and rear to go with to compliment my auto couture front lip any suggestions???

But I have finished my interior off with the addition of the perforated shift **** and the flat bottom steering wheel. Installed both. Shift **** took all of 30 seconds and the steering wheel took about 45 mins, using the DIY Sewell Video. F-ing love the new wheel!

Here are a few pics.

Very clean, love the AC lip. I think you're the 2nd with that lip here in the forums, the first one is not active I guess.

I think I have seen a pic floating around of another member with the lip but that is about it. I dig it for sure, think it flows well.

Hi guys,

Don't have too much new with the car since it's winter but I did go to SEMA and have a ton of pics if anyone is interested in looking at them.

How did I miss this thread? Well anyway by your list of cars and mods I know you will do big things with the Lex. Loving the front lip. The Auto Couture front lip was my first mod too. Did you decide on your sides yet? I went with the JP sides and rear, but only have on the rear since winter is here. GL with the modding

Looking good so far! I think you should do Wald sides and Tom's 09+ rear. The Wald sides have a bottom lip feature that will compliment your front, and the Tom's 09+ rear has a similar diffuser look. I'd paint both front and both centers matte black. My $0.02.

I have been having a hard time with the remaining body kit pieces. I keep going back and forth on the side skirts but am liking the toms rear alot. I noticed the wald/JP V rear looks alot like the new MB C class rear so I want something different.

I agree with the black parts of the sides and rear and that will happen!

Christmas update.

What I have coming in the mail, whoo hoo!

-GFX Sides
-GFX Rear
-S4Play rear diffuser
-OEM spoiler
-OEM.Thing roof spoiler
-IS-F Tails (older style)

Decided I wanted the cleaner look so went with the GFX kit to compliment my Auto Couture front lip.

Once spring rolls around I will be installing BCR's and my summer wheel setup.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Nice, nice, nice...if you dont mind, how much was the front lip and where did u buy it?

Also, i think you are the only one with the wood flat bottom steering wheel, that thing is freaking sick, and the **** is clean too. Most people switch to CF, like myself, but with the oem wood and that steering wheel your interior is looking georgous.
