The guy who hit me paid for the repairs which I think came to around $1600 total. And yeah I used Lamin-X yellow vinyl for the fogs. Super easy to install, you don't even have to remove the fog lights. Here are some more pics.

Next on the list is:
1) Tein H-techs
2) Front Lip
3) Lip and roof spoiler
4) LED Tails








My riding buddy...


The rims are 17" Drag DR-12 wrapped in Yokohama H4S rubber!!! Should be getting blue lugs here soon since they didn't have any when I went to get them installed...

It's actually a pomeranian. We just keep her hair cut short for the summer. Thanks.

I had to cut them myself. I only needed a 6x8" piece (or something around that) for both. I cut the film in half stuck it on and trimmed it with an x-acto knife leaving about 1/4" of glass exposed around the edge for cooling. Otherwise I head there is a chance of the film discoloring

Spring should be here in a few weeks along with the new lug nuts so stay posted. Also, tell me what you think--opinions, suggestions, advise. What does everyone think about a roof and lip spoiler? More pics to come as well as possibly a few write ups on some custom stuff I have planned (shh.. it's a secret)

Does someone make a lip spoiler are you modifying one from a different car?

I don't know what a roof spoiler is.

Lip spoiler


Roof spoiler

The roof spoiler kind of extends the roof line slightly over the rear glass.

Roof spoiler is much better than lip IMO!
