Mann I need to find some JDM parts for my ES.

Vin, the guy who gets you the parts is a personal friend or an actual vendor?

Vin your car is even more so what most of us here wish ours could be. Also what sections did you put the clear bra on and how much did it run ya.

Thanks for the complements guys.

Maxx:
I have my fingers crossed for a few other things, but nothing else for the exterior at the moment. The last JDM part for the exterior is probably unobtainable for me (lack of $$$) right now. Its huge

Choas:
The clear bra was a custom kit for the bumper, fog lamps, corner lamps and lip. I was watching them install it and they used one BIG piece of the 3M product, and they just trimmed it by hand, amazing! They had my car for over 4 hours.
The kit wraps around to the back of the sides of the bumper and down under the lip about 2", they did this so the lines would be harder to see.
It cost $600, but it was worth it and those guys did a great job.

Cool

I'm parking my ES at VIN's casa and leaving it, JUST IN CASE any JDM stuff falls off of his...maybe it'll land on/in mine.

I'm still panting for that head unit...but it's the same cost as an exhaust system for my car, which I need first. #@*$&#& priorities!

Can't say too much other than your car looks friggin' hot! Damn i wish i had the lip. Your paint looks immaculate too and the lenses. That takes some real dedication, all those mods. Well done.
