Hi all, sorry for the late response...on vacation and no internet.
1) Chrome front bumper trim is just 5/8" chrome strip that I got. I just applied it myself. A roll of like 4' cost me $40. 1/10 of the LX Mode chrome trim.
2) Chrome trunk trim cost me $20 on eBay
3) CF trim is from eBay as well
Yeh I'm going to hold off on wheels until I need new tires and get tires and wheels all at once.
I'm from the Boston area in MA.
Thanks for the nice comments guys!!!

Yeh I'm personally not a huge fan of chrome but I thought the two strips of chrome that I added supported the grill's chrome, the window trim chrome, and the chrome emblems on the trunk very well. I'm contemplating doing the LX-Mode chrome door handles but that might be overkill.
the LX-Mode bumper chrome is like +$400 and its a little bigger. I wanted a bit more subtle look.
Thanks for the nice words guys!

i think everyones 1st thing they do to a AWD IS is to give it the f-sport springs. That way if its lease your good, and even if its not lease, its a cheap mod to get at 300$ and it really changes the appearance of our cars guys!!!
i had mine dropped last night..it is soooo mean looking now, before it was a scared cat... now its a cat ready to pounce! MUAHAH!!!
DUDE DO THE SPRINGS ASAP!!!

I really want to do the springs but my last car was SOOO LOW and I'm just not looking for a stiff ride right now. I like the easy driving of it.
I know the springs don't lower it that much but how much stiffer is the ride?

I think the hit from going from 17" to 19" will be stiff enough. Just hope the gap looks okay.
