6k HID/Canards/Tune

One of my gripes about the car was that I had a bit of difficulty seeing at night. The plug and play HIDs actually look a lot better than I expected at night time.

Password JDM Canards

Some people won't like it, but I don't particularly care. Canards have been something I have always wanted, but never was able to put on. It's like fulfilling the little little kid's desire inside of me! 1) got over the fact of drilling a new bumper 2) learned to use a rivet gun

What's next on the list?

ZetaVI 06-18-2013 07:59 AM

Slowly but surely you''ll have a great build. Just make a wishlist of mods you desire and go by what's more important first to mod next.

Where did you have your tint done? I'm in Charlotte area. I already have the dealer tint on it, but I'd like darker, so I guess they need to remove that tint and then retint. Been looking for a decent place.

jimmy4thenguyen 06-19-2013 08:46 PM

Nice! Charlotte! There's a handful of us! Pm'd about the tint

Installed Driveway Labs Rear Diffuser
My T1R hangs pretty low, so I was worried about fitment. To my surprise it fits pretty well!

Overall Impressions:
Fits great, looks aggressive, at minimum the placebo effect is pretty awesome

the antenna? for radio signal.... just kidding. Vortex generators are supposed to help with aero for the car. In this usage its probably just there for aesthetics

Aesthetics or not, it looks real good. I might have to steal that...

Hows the T1R exhaust sound?

I like it. Before I put on the catless front pipe, it was quieter than stock+muffler delete.

After installing the catless frontpipe, startups are louder than stock. Grampa driving is nice/stock-ish, "normal driving" is a bit louder, but full throttle sounds very clean and crisp. I'll try to remember to do some fly by videos or something on my next update
