Its easy to remove the bumper, just time consuming.

More pics coming soon for the full intake. I just dropped in a new intercooler as well pics will follow shortly

FMIC installed. Very easy to do, especially with the right tools and using Paco's diy writeup...

Bought the catalouge front lip, painted it black for now...
Its slightly wider and more agressive then the aero body kit
Waiting on my side skirts to match.

Much more new stuff and pics comin soon

27x10x3 is the FMIC i got. I actually bought two 45 degree pipes from autozone as well because the stock rubber piping isn't long enough.
So 2 pipes and 4 couplers, took a while till I got everything tightened down correctly so they didnt blow off... its veryyyyy nice now lol

More pics and details coming soon I promise.
Im thinking about color matching but with all the road chips from nyc and highways its so much easier to pull it off, get a $5 can of flat black paints and re spray lol. I've done it twice already due to road chips.

H&R 25mm spacers


Maybe 5mm wider then the fronts, ill get some 5mm up front to match. Man my wheels are clean, these ebc pads barely produce any dust...

Is those mirrors blacked out? Yes, yes they are. You see my mirrors were pretty badly scratched and I had no idea why. So I sanded them down, primed and painted them flat black to match the front lip... I think it looks really good especially since our strips that go around the whole car are black.

Where did my side skirts go?
More to come.... lol
