Default Ramfis simple ISF 2013 build

First I started with 40% tints all around. Then carbon fiber intake tube with K&N box filter.




Then The led kit for inside and outside, including the side mirrors, these looks pretty cool now. No photo now, but I'll take one and post it later.

Installing the rear smoke led break lights.




To remove the bumper, two screws on each side fender one at the botrom and other on the top for both sides. At the center, few clips, also open the trunk and find two small scares on each side, pop them and loose those screws and ready to pull gently. Loos the screw holding the sensors wires.

Now you see the inside of the bumper cover, remove the screw on each reflector and take it out from the front, and replace with the leds. The wires on the leds where black (neutral), white (positive) and red (break). On the car, white with black stripe is neutral. Green is the positive and white with green stripes the break lights.

Hid fog lights installation. Jack the car, and remove the front wheels to make it easier to work. On each side remove 5 scews and 3 clips to be able to loose the fender cover and move it. You see the back of the fog light, remove the bulb by twisting counter clockwise and unplug. Install the HID bulb and make the connections for the ballasts.

You're definitely going to blind people with those HIDs

Yeah, after intalling I thought so, but tested wirh a friend last night and yes they are bright but not as high beams and also the position helps a little and we didn't find them that were blinding us. They were bright but not uncomfortable for other drivers. So, keeping them for now.

Yesterday installation, the CF front splitters. This are generic not build for the car but fits nicely, only used tow screws and are holding fine. I got these from ebay at $120.

Yes, those are being wrapped in real carbon fiber, also the rear spoiler. Should be ready on a few weeks, I'll post some pics when finished and installed.

Nice build so far.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of genuine skinned carbon parts myself.

Interested to see how the fog light covers turn out. Look forward to reading your updates.

Keep up the good work.

i'm interested on a Borla catback system, so I started reading few posts but now I'm very confussed. Comments are all over the place. Some says there is no drone and a subtle rumble deep sound (which is what I wanted) but others says it is an anoying loud system, and drone is driving them crazy. So, need to decide, please some light here...
Thanks in advance

Got the Borla catback system installed, very nice but please guys remember me not to do it again. Jacking up the car at least 1.5 feet and working there alone to complete this task is tuff. Results were great but I ended up with pain everywhere jeje. Here just few pics....
PDP180180, sorry still waiting for the carbon
