Painterguy's 13 Sport GE8 build thread

Hey guys just realized I never really made a mod thread for my car so I figured I would make one. Bought this new in Oct of 2013 and started modding soon after taking delivery.

First mod was the wiper mod

Then threw on some Tein S Techs along with OE window visors, Cargo Cover, Cargo Tray, Bumper Applique, OE center armrest for starters.

Looks great! I don't dig chrome either, I like how you blacked it out.

BTW, you have the same 48 LED dome light panel as I do in my GD. Did you have to take the double sided tape off or did it fit without any issue? The cover wouldn't clip on for me unless I took off the double sided tape.

Nice, I'm still debating whether or not to get the mugen kit. The only thing that's holding me back is the rear since I don't like it as much but seeing you dip the chrome black makes me lean more towards getting it.

I left the tape on for insurance just trimmed it in some places to make it fit perfect.

Yup I am in Moreno Valley. Not a lot of free time I juggle lots of weekend activities.
You should try and make the Cerritos monthly Fit meet I am usually always there.
