That's some of the nicest dipped CF I've ever seen. Usually it comes out looking way too "printed" but that vendor did a fantastic job

I ordered the Eibach Sportline kit. Going to swap out my Tein S-Tech.
I ordered Whiteline top strut mounts to help with caster a bit. Still waiting on tail light tint. |

Sorry guys, been busy. Went on vacation in florida, got engaged, other projects, etc. So here is where I'm at.
I decided to swap out the Tein S-Tech and get Eibach Sportline. (Tein's for sale!) I like the red color more. I bought Whiteline strut mount plates to help with the front camber a little bit more. Black lug nuts. Got a custom stealth sub enclosure for the trunk and got a nice Rockford Power 10". TRD Shift knob (woooo) New alacantra door panel speaker covers and center console side covers are in, I painted the new speaker trim rings carbon to match the rest of the hydrodipped interior. |

Are you going to do brakes at all? You could have the calipers and brackets powdercoated so they don't look unfinished behind those wheels.
Congrats on the engagement. |

More updates -
In my OCD pursuit to make everything perfect, I decided to pull the TRD Side skirts off. originally we tried doing them without the weather stripping, but it wouldn't hold or look properly. So I painstakingly unbolted and untaped them from the car (hours) and ground effects (hours). Then I bought new weather stripping and taped it to the ground effects and reinstalled back on car. It looks great, like factory now. Also cut holes out behind the fender garnish to make them functional. Problem is, when I put the prova vents on, you could see the red and holes right though them since I changed out the tight stainless mesh for custom powdercoated mesh. Then I painted behind it... but you still could see the reflectiveness of the flat paint, which looked like shit. So then I uninstalled and untaped the fender garnish (hours) and installed black breathable mesh felt behind the opening. Then I drilled holes and used nuts to install the fender garnish from the reverse side, so no 3M tape was required. I took out appradio 3, and put app radio 2 in, because app radio 3 wasnt compatible with the aftermarket radio control stalk I installed on the column. The eibach sportline springs are installed, and feel much better. However, the rear sits up .5" off the tire, and the front 1". So I guess I'll have to go with a 40 series in the front to even them out. I had my red valenti tail lights tinted, and while they look good, I might just end up buying the new Black housing, red bar, tinted lens that came out a week or two ago. It sucks because I spent hours having the lights watersealed properly, and another $100 having custom tint applied to them. |
