Here's the driver's side piece:

Very nice!

I was trying to order the CF side diffusers awhile back. Chargespeed rep said they are not available yet. Do you have the side diffusers as well?

I do not have the sides yet. The sides might be available now. I had to wait forever for the rears to be available.

Since I don't have any other cf on my car, I'm painting the rear lips to match the car. Hopefully I'll have it installed for BLOX.

^ If it's not painted in time for BLOX, just put them on as is with some temporary tape.

Default Woo-hoo!

Probably not new or exciting to anyone else, but I finally got these back from the paint shop :

Now to consider tackling the install myself, enlisting the help of friends, or just paying someone to do it for me .

Didn't get these today, technically, but I'll be putting them in tomorrow (assuming nothing goes wrong).

haha...I'm going to need it. I've done couple of sub installs before, but they all were on HU's with their own RCA outs. I've never had to tap and add a LOC or anything before. Hope I know what I'm doing!

Man, you'll be okay. Every time I've done a sub install its more complicated than the last and works out. Just takes a few tweaks here and there. Let's see some pics once installed.

Broken image link? I'm going to guess it's LED turn signal mirrors though.

^ How'd you attach it? I was thinking of just sticking it there with double-sided tape, and eventually finding a professional installer to rig the **** into the switch next to the trunk/gas buttons. I've had this nine.1 since 2007...it was in my tC before it got totalled...been in my garage ever since. Great amp!

EDIT....not for Brian but robertrios lol...

It shows up for me . Well anyway, good guess! They ARE my LED signal mirrors! The member I purchased them from had some sort of CF faux-finish on them . But that's all gone now . These subtle changes make me happy.

^ Weird, I see the picture in your original post now. My iPhone must have been tripping out. You'll love those turn signal mirrors! I still get a kick out of them when I lock my car and they light up.
