Thank you! You're going to like what I just bought also. :)

As far as meets go, we have a local one in Jacksonville every Saturday, although the cops have been shutting it down recently due to dumbasses. :mad0259:

For all the really big meets, I normally post a thread in the Southeast section of the forums stating when/where they are. Check it out sometime! PM if you got anymore questions.

I'm in love with your front lip and the headlight/foglight combo! What set-up did you buy for the headlight/foglight combo, and where did the lip come from/name? My FRS needs a visit from Santa, and Santa likey your mods.

Well, I decided to buy an ebay front lip, just to see if I would enjoy it before dumping money into an HTAuto kit. And I do love the look. The lip I bought has some fitment issues, being eBay and all. But for the price, I'm not really complaining. Still working on molding it to sit at a lower angle, for it angles up pretty harshly right now. The maker is Benz vs BMW.

Here's how it looks right now, I'll have more photos of it soon. It'll probably be for sale once I buy the HTAuto front lip also. :P

And a quick video of how I get into my driveway everyday now.

And, here's the comparison video of the Hellas.

Good looking car man. I bought the same lip from benz vs bmw yeah the lip is sitting to high lol. Did you ever find a way to lower the lip down? :D

Junkwipe 12-12-2013 03:35 AM

I put some black electric wire inbetween the bumper and the lip, which has lowered it down some.

Here's some photos to help explain a little what I've done. It's not perfect but I think it sits a little better. All I did was shove black 12g(I think) wire in the gap, and push it in with a screwdriver.

As you can see, most of the lip comes down flat now, looks a lot better. The only exception being the center. And that's why I leave wood on it when I garage it. Over time it'll bend the polyurethane out, and if you do it out in the hot sun it'll keep it bent down.

I will try this just waiting for the weather to be better. Its damn cold here. Yeah they said that if you sit it out in the sun it will bent down. When i installed the lip thats not the look that i want but i dont want to spend $ again for another lip so ill just take your advice.

Unidentified 12-12-2013 11:50 PM
But our lip looks good when its bent down right. :D

Once I get my fitment more on point, I'm dropping this lip and buying a full HTAuto kit. So yes, I will be doing Sideskirts and rear spats, eventually. Most likely around March.

They are stock headlights/bulbs, haven't touched them. The fog lights are the Nigel-JDMParts basic $112 kit, with Nokya H11 yellow bulbs.

The lip is an eBay Benz vs BMW front lip, thanks!

Thanks man! That knob was a gift from an ex-gf lol. She got it from Itsproper.com, but I've seen them on ebay too. I looked the other day because I want a different color than purple.

Just some screencaps from a video I recorded today, decided I wanted to make a time-lapse of an install where the car goes from looking normal, to completely different, back to normal.

Any fitment issues with those headlights? I put aftermarket headlights on my old tC and had to highly modify them to fit.
