Im a little behind on posting because the last few days have been busy. Installed some coils on my buddys Lancer Ralliart, that sucked, and just been busy with work.
Other than that, there has been some down time and I was finally able to get my front lip on, my trunk installed and did a quick polish/wax on my headlights and fogs.
The front lip was easier than I expected, like I mentioned above I tossed out the mounting hardware and I was pissed about it and bought some hardware from Home Depot.
Well none of it worked and ended up just using simple bolts, washers and mounting hardware :rofl

As you can tell I masked off the headlights to have my work buddy polish up my headlights for me while I was working on the front lip install.

Brought my JDM trunk to work yesterday and installed it before our first few appointments. I fucking love this trunk with this spoiler so much. I just got so lucky to find one the exact color code of my car:alright

Now I didnt get any photos of it but I removed all the side window tint from old faded and blue 20% film to a ceramic based 15% film. While I had the door panel off, I took the time to spray paint some interior speakers that have faded or turned purple :rofl

Spray paint works wonders, until it builds up at the spray tip and drops heavy drips on the things your painting, oh well :shrug
