Well... I just pulled the trigger on the TrackSpec hood louvers...I can't wait to install them!

I had been eyeing these for a while... I first tried to contact TrackSpec about a sponsorship but received zero response... anyway, I wanted them so I pulled the trigger.

I'm not even worried about cutting into my hood... I've been learning sheet metal at work... plus I'm good with these kinds of things... hope I didn't jinx myself... lol

Received my TrackSpec hood louvers on Thursday but I didn't get around to messing with them until today... Had unexpected visitors today so I couldn't finish... If the weather is good tomorrow, I hope to finish then.

I measured, then measured, then continued to measure... lol Templates are on the mark!







Btw, I called TrackSpec today to verify something about the install and wow... their customer service was awesome! I spoke to John... he really went above and beyond...

Hell yeah...I finally received back my Uras/Monkey-Magic sideskirt (repaint) and front lip tonight... can't wait to install! Now I'm just waiting on my vinyl... vinyl shop had to order the color... the color is almost a 100% match to my Hot Rod flat black... should be a pretty seamless transition.

I got a real late start today but I did get my sideskirt and front lip on... however, installing the front lip with the pop clips and 3M tape wasn't holding tight enough for my taste... so I removed my front bumper cover to install bolts/nuts with fender washers. Nice and tight install now. I'll reinstall my bumper cover tomorrow then pull the ride out to snap some pics.

These pics were before I removed the bumper cover...

Are you planning on painting anything? The spoiler/skirts/rear would look great if they were painted white for the portion that wasnt a lip.

No plans to paint any part of the kit white...Once I install my vinyl and hood louvers, everything will balance out.

I'll be taking pics with my SLR soon, they should do the kit more justice then my phone pics. The kit just looks better in person... not that it looks bad... just better. I just have to capture it in my pics.

Either my eyes are playing tricks on me, or your passenger side rear tire is mounted backwards/reverse.

Openings are pretty dead on! Pics are deceiving...







I love Clecos!



I opted for counter-sunk rivets instead of the provided pop rivets...

Yeah I guess since you aren't driving it right now it doesn't really matter that much!

Regarding tail lights, are you planning on sticking with stock (+JDM red side reflectors)? I've never personally had an issue with the stock tail lights and I think you should keep them as is.
