Thanks for all the feedback guys! I really appreciate all the support here in CL. My car would be no where close to what I've created without all the info and part hooks up on the board.

Thanks, it took a while to install it.

Maybe in the future, I kinda like how the TTE lip flows w/ the stock sides and rear. I'll see what it look like when I get exhaust, then I'll make a decision.

Yes, Yes, I've been getting this alot. When I get the EDFC installed, I make have to crack my CS down a bit more. I'll go down quite a bit more.

Yup, I'm luvin that slightly modded stock grille look. I've gotten compliments on it already and I've only had it for a couple days. The black chrome really stands out, but in a very sophisticated way.

the tails and roof spoiler are nice, but i think the kicker is the jp spoiler.

also gotta admit, that grille looks really nice. thought you had plans to lower?
btw, i thought u were gonna mold the tte lip?
I was, but told that if I mold the lip, I couldnt take it off to re-sell, plus that the whole bumper would crack including the lip if hit. I'm willing to take that gamble now.

Yup, Tanabe Exhaust is at the top of my list of next to do mods.

Yup, black door handles and trunk bar are slightly below the Tanabe on the list.

Lookin good Pushinlex

For a black car, the tte looks good already. If you're going to mold it, it's too hard to see the difference

Oh, and it's never going to end....................................................

Wheels are Koya K-Racers(19x8.5 all around). I like to rotate my tires. Tails are Carson/Wise/Sonar LED's.

Yea it does, but I have lots of rock chips and scratches on my bumper, so when you look up close you can clearly see the contrast between the bumper paint and the brand new paint on the TTE. Its just for peace of mind.

Nope, I just frequent the detailing section alot. Just great detailing products and elbow grease. You'd be amazed wat a little tender luvin' care will do for your paint. The stock paint is great, even with mine almost a decade old. And its NEVER been garaged. Give your care some luv, and it will return the favor two fold.
