Alignment in a few hours. Final adjustments this morning on the suspension. Getting off topic from this thread but yeah starting retro tonight, should be done that and mostly done the lip by tomorrow or monday. Those dont take nearly as long long as an air suspension install.

Just thought about this...wont the headlights have a cutoff for RHD? I guess you can adjust the beams to minimize this, but wont be perfect right?

NICE! Its so JDM. Looks great Connor. Nice touch with the Mugen "lip" how you painted it more white to just have the center garnish and fogs as black.

Also did you wrap/dip/paint your roof? i dont recall it being black. Looks fantastic. Also did you always have that strip across your windshield? That interior tint or exterior vinyl? Giving me ideas bud!

Sorry i couldn't make it...seems like I indeed missed out on a good time.

Haha thank you! I preferred not to have the big giant "mouth" and i felt it matches the rear this way.

The roof is wrapped(although poorly) with 3m 1080 film. I want to either redo it or do the jdm skyroof someday.

I have a 35% tint brow and a truefitcrew decal on the outside

Hopefully next time!

That is going from 0-100....new vinyl...or JDM skyroof lol. Would it not have been possible at this point to simply import a JDM jazz RS?

Yeah I dig the subtle white and black. Maybe some different wheels sometime in the future to continue the theme?
