Good lookin' out!

Well before you make your decision, be warned. The HT Autos front lip is far superior in quality to that of the one Jon's Motoring sells. I know as I have had both in my possession. The HT Auto lip is three times as thick in build design, whereas the STi style one is flimsy in it's design and quality is not so great. It looks good in the online pics, but up close, you will wish you had passed...

When did HTAutos start making an STI lip? The lip they've had doesn't wrap up over the bumper at the ends like the STI lip, which is why I don't like it.

With the Jon's one I was going to paint it since I do think it looks cheap and I know it has to be man-handled a little to work. For $150 that's kinda whatcha get. I guess for the price of two I could have just one really good, authentic one, but living in Alaska makes me not jump on that opportunity.

On-Topic:

I put my BBS STI wheels back on over the weekend. Snow tires will go on when I damn well please! No snow yet, so I'm tearing these tires up still. Kinda bad since it's near freezing and they're summer tires, but whateva. Either play sideways or stick with AWD.

HT Autos is an STi inspired front lip, unlike the STi style one Jon's Motoring sells, it does not wrap upward over the edges like the STi one.
However fitment is perfect and quality is awesome in comparison...

I'm hoping Bayson R will eventually do an STi style lip to match the rear spats and upcoming side skirts

Okay that's the one I thought you meant. I was kinda wooed by it when they first showed it early last year, but since then I've come to despise it. I'll probably just tend up "going big or going home" and get the STI ones from Japanparts. "Bayson R save me!" hahaha

Debadged her today.

Standing outside with a blow dryer, dental floss, and sweater/jacket... the results definitely justify the 25 - 30 minutes!

Just installed Diode Dynamics' 6000k HIDs. I also have their Stage 2 LED Fog lights installed.
(Fog lights look a little yellow in these pictures. I'll try to update soon with some night pictures. I think the setup will look different at night.)

1st Pic: Factory HID
2nd Pic: 6000K HID from Diode Dynamics
3rd Pic: After installation.

More pictures of the 6000k HIDs from Diode Dynamics! I really wish I had a better camera because these things look a lot better in person.

Because INITIAL D!!! The scenery in the video is reminiscent of the Downhill Irohazaka course, if you ask me
