Shots turned out horrible, and car was dirty lool. Keeps raining these days :/

Got my EVO R diffuser the other day, propped it up against the car just to see how it would look :) Now just need to find time to install this along with the rear fog..

car is looking good! glad you got the lip back on

Thanks! :)

Previous owner wrapped the interior trims in 3m di noc carbon fiber, and I didn't like them much so I rewrapped them in 3m 1080 gloss black metallic :) It's like gloss black, but less prone to scratches and has flakes in it

And some more pictures of it's how it's currently sitting;

So since this is my daily driver, my goal is to make this more fun to drive and also more comfortable to drive to some extent. This means that I do not want an all out performance car (stripped interior for maximum weight saving kinda thing), but I also do not want to make it toooo slow by adding a 1000lbs sound system. However, I do like music obviously... and since my base model w/ sports package doesn't come with a sub, I added in one myself :) Goal here was to have a good amount of bass, but not take too much space or add too much weight. So got a small little 10" JL sub, a Phoenix gold 500w amp and it is already way more than enough for me. Can't even max out the sub without feeling uncomfortable

Save money where I can, and learn while doing it :) So wiring up everything with the help of my friend
https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...61736826_n.jpg

Hooked up the power wire so the battery trim kind of blocks the power wire and fuse. Ran it through the trims and underneath the carpet

Sub mounted on the shelf behind my seat, since I can't reach there anyways from my seat so it doesn't affect me :) Right against the seat means I feel the sub a lot more too lol. Amp is mounted behind my seat so it's not in the way, and I can still adjust gains and whatnot fairly easily. Not taking up much space, and not too in your face. Actually turned it around so the sub is facing the back after a few days, having the sub pound on my back wasn't too comfy lol

Got my ipad mini mounted the other day since my deck doesn't have navi. I stream music and videos through bluetooth. The ipad is easily removable and the lid can also be put back on easily via magnets. Will post more pictures later :)

I.C.E is almost done, just need to sound deaden the doors and put in some better speakers :)


Annnddd looks like my front lip was not meant to be. This time the lip itself actually gave away, the bolts still held it in place, but the rest of the lip cracked at the mounting point and just flew off right when I shifted. This time it cracked and gave away and I ran over it, and it also tore off my sideskirt... Remains of the front lip and sideskirt

And somehow my fender liner also popped out and my tire ate it up... luckily my friends were able to temp. hold it on enough so I could drive home still with the left over 3m tape on my bumper. Thank god for them, never would have thought about that myself

Pretty choked, but I guess it's bound to happen eventually... Missed the big local spring meet, but it's not too big of a problem. Harsh on my wallet, but put in the order for a full one piece front bumper this time. Also bought the sides and rear to match... Big plans for the summer :)

which kit did you end up going with??

People in vancouver with the amuse kit aren't going to like it, lool :X

Finally installed my TWM short shifter today, took a loot longer than expected but definitely worth it :) Love the feel, even though it's a bit rough for dd

Wrapped the cubby thing in 'pleather' fabric from fabricana to make it look a bit more presentable during the day. iPad mini and the cover are both held on by magnets. Pretty sturdy, doesn't fall or move when I rip the car lol

OEM goodies :)

Looks like it has a different harness than the ones produced in the earlier years..? Still easy plug and play though

Brought a big box back today from the states :) Barely fit in the van!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...36830325_n.jpg


Test fitting it before bringing it over to paint on Monday, from Shine Auto. Fits pretty well actually. No bolts holding the edges up to the fender in the test fitting picture because I was lazy
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...46980879_n.jpg

Test fit the rest and they do fit fairly good :) Bolts straight on

No room to take a head on shot of the rear, garage is too small :(
https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...94480370_n.jpg


Stock sideskirt vs amuse, 2" lower... Looks like I'll have to raise my car :( Not looking forward to that

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...64545881_n.jpg

Only tape is holding this up lol so it's sagging a little bit

Off to paint you go! See you in a week :D

Been a bit lazy to update.. but it's on :) Spent over 12 hours drilling holes and mounting it on, along with raising coils a bit and doing things here and there to make the fender liner fit. Still need to get my rear foglight out and slap it on the amuse rear and also do something about the rear rebar... License plate is mounted to the front rebar :) So no holes in the bumper. Been working on my car from after I get off work till I sleep for the past few days, so need a break from it. Foglight can go on later

Did you sell the evo side blades? I'm keeping my factory side skirts and just wanna add the evo blades.

Let me know buddy!! Other than that your car looks amazing!!!! NOW GET SOME REST!!

Are you planning to leave the white Styrofoam in the rear or spray it black?? I wanna tell my shop to do this before they install the rear bumper....

One of my sideblades actually have 3 inches or so snapped off on the highway :/ I am selling the damaged passenger sideblade and mint driver sideblade if you're interested, loool. As for the rear, I took out the styrofoam thing but haven't painted the bar black yet. I need to do that, the silver looks disgusting lol
