Struggle was so real, I didn't want to do a matte again. Silver needed 10+ orders, bronze needed 10+ orders. I will never do Gloss Black again, so GunBlue it was. haha. Center caps are a pain to get too! They need to restock them =(

Wasn't quite sure how fitment on tires were so went safe with 235/40 and 275/35, prob go up to 245/40, 285/35 next set =)

Freshly installed replacement front splitter since the old one broke in the middle.

I don't know why, but after seeing your car it makes me think of the original Batmobile with its red pin-striping. LOL!

Oh haha, I know what you're talking about but I never watched that series. Honestly my original intent was not to put it, but the splitters don't show up in pictures half the time (and I'm a photographer) so I had to figure how to make it pop. And I like Red. (Could not find a Matador IS350 when I was in the market) Red caliper repaint is next... a "detailer" acid sprayed the wheels and ruined the Black paint I had on the calipers -_-

Plan to black out the chrome trim and grille surround eventually, just been lazy to go do it

I have half Vland and half OEM lol, Vland caused my Brake Stop Light Switch to blow 3 times until it was removed, too lazy to remove the inners since they aren't causing problems. Vland blew me off regarding warranty or support so I haven't replaced the OEM.

new vid of exhaust! slightly modified the resonators from 12 inch to 16 inch side branch to kill more drone, ended up with minimal drone at 65-80mph (humm now) and slightly less raspy.
