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

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.

9/14/13 Update
Diffuser added

6k LED DRL


Rexpeed Vortex Gen






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

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
