I do have plans for the front and rear eventually, just saving for a house and modding a car don't exactly go together

So with a little free time I went ahead and did the free version of the toms gt shifter. Def not worth $90 for the jumper harness but it does feel more natural shifting now (not that I ever actually use it haha)
Also had a chance to work on the gtus a bit
Painted barrels

Brushed lips

Looking pretty decent now. Still need to remove the rest of the pinstripe and decide if I'm going to polish the lips or clear coat the brushed. They're being sold anyways along with the tsws in favor of some 19s

Preferably something simple and 5 spoke. We shall see, modding the car isn't top priority haha

Ended up wrapping the roof yesterday. Didn't wrap the antenna or drip rail covers due to lack of time. Not horrible for our first attempt, but will probably be redoing it in the future. Just depends.. May end up just painting it, not a huge fan of how the gloss is slightly gray under the sun and would prefer the depth of painting

Also picked up an eBay grille to attempt to modify to fit the 09.. Searched and didn't find any info on actual dimension differences so for the price figured I would try it out. Emblem holder just screws on, if I can make it work ill probably run badge less (whole reason for buying this vs a f sport insert)

Picked up a roof spoiler:

Need to get more vinyl to wrap the rail covers and antenna before I put in on though
Also picked up the parking brake pedal cover:

Still waiting on the right set of wheels and to finally suck it up and buy the rest of the black headliner stuff.. Just can't justify $800 on pillars etc that I still need

So I had some spare parts of mine that I make that just happened to fit over.
So with 5 mins of drilling and tapping we have this:

I'll probably end up machining a direct replacement, but this functions perfectly, and since its hidden no one will care that the holes aren't perfectly aligned![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Also tossed in the black c pillars to give me some motivation to order the rest of the parts. I figure seeing it mismatched will light a fire under my *** vs not caring since all the parts are put away in boxes![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
