Put on my sharkfin and rear mudflaps today. I had planned to do the side body molding also but ended up having to leave abruptly.



If I have the opportunity this week, or next weekend, I'll be doing the wiper mod and the rear garnish.

Window Tint!

Reposting to remove the external image link.

Got window tint for my 2011 Sport last week. All I can say is that legal-in-Ohio window tint is weak sauce, but the car is MUCH cooler on sunny days now.

And yeah, I could break the law, but I'd rather not.

I'm guessing you mean me, since I see no other sharkfins on this page.

Visual Garage. You might need to try to call them, as at the moment the website indicates they're revamping it, but the targeted launch date is three weeks ago.

Aren't they pretty expensive? I mean for a piece of plastic with a little wire antenna in it. Are they paint matched too? Maybe that's what makes them pricey.

IIRC it was like $60. So yeah it wasn't "cheap" but then what part of modding a car is? In terms of all the other cosmetic and functional upgrades I could've put on the car, this one was fairly inexpensive.

Also I'm pretty sure they're fiberglass, FWIW.

That's not bad, I was thinking more like $75 from what I remembered. You're right tho, proper mods aren't dirt cheap. Maybe I could get an unpainted one from them for cheaper, as I could do it myself for free.

N00b here. Picked up a '13 TW sport last week. Just added a couple of knick knacks. Blox short antenna and SOHC decals. Although I think my alignment was a little off on the driver side /: not even sure I like them anymore. Lowering springs next.

Finally got around to aligning my projector cut offs. Originally came shipped with projectors knocked out of the reflector bowls and rattling around. Love the output now!

Took off the smoked tail lenses and put OEM ones on. Thanks Curtiss!

Anyone want to purchase some smoked/blacked out tail lenses for a GE?

I've already put in my email on their website. I thought maybe you got it from somewhere else since they seems to have been down for awhile.

Had 5% put on the windows. Pic is in profile. And no worries about the local LEO with the exception of the GSP but I can get around them as well.

Maybe it's the picture angle but it looks like you have the longer usdm fender and your headlights even look like modified usdm ones, yet you have the JDM bumper. Looks good though!

Yes, it's only plastic covers

lol It's JDM Fit RS but I used aftermarket Projector Headlights and apparently, they made it based on USDM headlights model
