I like the headlight swap, the chrome flows better on the 2012 since they extended the grill all the way to the headlights. I didn't like how it makes it all blend together so this gives it some nice contrast. One of the cleanest Fits on here, keep it up man!

Exactly that reason haha. I don't like how the headlights look with the grille, and since the Mugen is way out of my price range right now, switching the headlights was a much cheaper / easily attainable change.

As far as the vinyl, I just bought it off eBay from RVinyl IIRC.

Thanks! I have a couple ideas in mind when I decide to switch it up a bit, but that won't be for awhile. One more pic to keep everyone entertained:

Great thanks for the reply.

What Mugen grille were you thinking of getting..using the shuttle one?

..Ive been debating going that route too..just don't know if it will fit properly or where to purchase one lol

The ivory clazzios would look really good provided they don't change color easily. I haven't the clue about how durable the material is in terms of fading or staining.

Since last time, I ditched the JDP lip because I sit lower, and I completed my Morimoto Mini D2S retrofit. I'm about 3/4" lower up front and 1/2" in the rears. I used Apollo shrouds on the retro and I plan on ordering Philips 85122+'s soon, after new tires (S-Drives, 195/40). The duckbill spoiler is also off, I purchased it cracked and didn't bother to fix it when I got it painted. Since then water has built up inside of it and some of the paint has began to bubble. Debating if I want to fix it and put it back on or not

I also have another mod coming sometime in February













After a couple necessities, I'm only doing an alarm and touching up a few small details. I need to stop spending money on it and start building a savings once again, haha. I'm happy enough with how it currently sits, I don't feel the urge to fck with it so much.

Andrew my apologies I didn't get back to you. Crazy work as usual over here.

Glad you got everything installed and it looks great. Do you want to sell that lip?

Retrofit looks really good, I like the choice of keeping everything chrome, it flows well. Did you get 4500K bulbs? Looks so clean with everything white.

It's all good, I got everything sorted out from the questions I had.
And, as we discussed, I'll probably be putting the lip up for sale if I can find a way to ship it. I'll keep you updated.

As said above, but the lip is also for a 2012, not 2009-2011

Thanks, I'm glad I kept it all chrome also. It currently has Morimoto 4300k's in them, stock fog light bulbs and parking lights. I'll be switching to the Philips when I have the money to, maybe CBI's if I can afford it
