I'll try to take a pic when I get a chance but my Vland outers shorted my Brake Stop Switch and caused my ABS/TCS to be disabled, never got around to remove the Vland inners so I just let it stay for the time being, debating on buying new a Vland set or try to find an electrician to figure out how to make the "broken" outer work, or just go back to stock.

Vland basically told me to kick rocks when I brought up the issue while it was under warranty.

Having been in the body and paint business many years back, a full color change is a bit of work. We're any repairs made or just a color change? And if you don't mind sharing, what's that cost these days? On my own stuff I gutted them, but that was when times were simpler. lol

Good Job!

Front bumper holes filled and sanded down, front lip sanded down (prior pitting) but other than that my paint was fairly okay, roof had some clear coat cracking but didnt affect the wrap. I'm not sure on pricing... I know the guy really well and gave him a very long time to do it (from Nov 2020 to early March 2021) so price wasn't at retail.

Meanwhile, trying to find someone to install OS Giken....and program my ISF steering ECU in San Diego x.x

Some pics over the last few weekends, had to buy a replacement splitter and add rods because it was not properly secured when it was reinstalled and I didnt want to take chances again. The lip backed out of the bumper and the front of the splitter scraped at 80mph but luckily the lip wasn't damaged. Raised the car up 3/4 in because the F-Sport chassis bar was scraping around the local speed bumps, but will drop it 1/4-1/2 in after upsizing the tires to see how it sits then.
