They come back in stock 4-4, so I should have them shortly after that. Everything smoked/black housing. Third brake light I already have on there.

Also post up some 2017 sized/resolution photos, people want to see your headlights.

Lucy's, not yours.
LMAOO thanks for the clarification. I'll get some more up as soon as it's done "raining" aka sprinkling to anyone who's not pampered by soCal weather.

That spoiler is aggressive! I wonder why it's so cheap? Only $339 shipped to my door.

Seems too good to be true...

Post up some close up pics when you get it so we can see how that CF weave is.

I work in IT (help desk), but unfortunately the company pays less than it should, especially for the bay area.

On the upside, my commute is only ~5 miles.

The new wheels and tires came in. They're being changed out along with the headers on Thursday... and the smoked marker lights.
Thursday is a big day for her.

Awww yeahhh! Looking forward to the transformation!

Sorry for talking shit on your OEM tires, I just feel like you are someone who I can trash talk with a bit hahah.

Side markers are also gonna make a huge difference! Once you get them on you'll wonder why you didn't do them sooner. Installation is pretty straight forward, there's a few videos on youtube about it. Just take your time and don't try to force the clips, or your screwdriver/tool could slip and scratch your paint like what happened to me :/

LOL shit talking is always welcome. I don't take it personally. I got Nitto G2 tires and Niche black rims. Should clean up nicely. What I want is those damn tail lights to be back in stock along with the spoiler. Manufacturing is saying they aren't being sent out to distributors until 4/4. THAT'S SO FAR FROM NOW. UGH.
lol that's exactly why we masking tape everything. that super sucks. Take it easy butterfinger.
