I installed LED headlight and fog light bulbs. Also an LED light bar.
These bulbs are so much brighter than the original halogen bulbs.
Sirius LED headlight bulbs were easy to install.
The kit came with a fan to attach behind the bulb for cooling.
The Fog light bulbs were direct swap.
The light bar is pretty blinding.
I only turn them on when I'm driving to work because it's pitch black and nobody is out at 3am in the morning.

Overall think the car turned out fantastic. Love the color combo of white with teal wheels with just enough black/red contrast through out. Also, you must be a huge fan of that anime =)
I will have to agree that I'm not a huge fan of those canards however.

I mounted the side skirts today.
The installation wasn't too bad.
Only had to drill one hole in the rear and on the front, had to cut part of the wheel well lining.
The skirts came with brackets that mount onto the pinch welds.

The ends back near the front tires? Thanks for the information, nice fit btw. In terms of mounting did you just use the holes it had already and just go straight into the lower bumper??
#48
Yea the ends near the front tires. I used the holes it had and also added additional ones for more reinforcement. Also instead of using the provided screws, I used nuts and bolts.

Haven't updated in a while. Added a basket on the the roof rack.
It is a Reese basket from Walmart.
Also added a rear diffusor.
Wrapped the hood to really button up the itasha livery.

It somehow fits together. I'm sure if you look past the graphics and envision a tafetta white fit with those upgrades it wouldn't be as "random". It is definitely a head turner good for some...not so good for others.
I like the rear difuser you added. I do think the rack is a bit much, would look more streamline without but again...just my $0.02.
