Haven't posted pics in a year, "new" mods

I blacked out the headlights and sanded the lens to be brand new again. not sure if you can tell from the pic but i took a different approach and painted the accent swoops black (got the idea from an RSX)

I also smoked the side marker with some Lamin-X gun smoke

My OEM spoiler had crap paint on it and started to peel like crazy! sooo i got the G35 Sedan Spoiler, MUCH better

i also put the same lamin-x product on the tails, mainly to cover up the blue blub in the reverse

Hella horns

and a SS Rli-10 in a 1.3 cu ft box w/an aero port

I forgot to add I painted the rear window trim gloss black to match the car. Mine was turning an ugly faded old looking color, 3 coats of gloss black, 3 coats of clear.

my 1st HDR pic

thanks for looking!

future mods:
10mm spacers in back
Raxles- axles
LED lighting in the interior
HID fogs(once my bulbs burn out)

yeah/no it fit a little small, about a half an inch too small on each side. if you mean does it bolt on the wholes of the OEM spoiler, no it does not. I drilled new wholes for it and got the other's sealed up.

btw, what company is that girl in your avatar from?

thanks for all the comments

The car looks great! I like the wheels, tailights, spoiler & the painted rear quarter window trim.

How hard was it to install the spoiler & does it fit as good as the OEM spoiler? Do you have any more pics of it, but further back?

Thanks everyone! once i get a freakin tripod and some time i'll take better pics. I wanted to do spacers a while back but i just fixed my dent (which prevented me from bringing the wheels flush) so i'm in the market for some

im thinking 15mm.

cant do the fronts just yet i have to buy some raxels which will put me back 300+

I'll get more pics this weekend for ya.

Let me know if you find a great price on them cause I'd be interested in the same spacers.

(Orange cone in the trunk FTW!

Car looks sweet... likin the spoiler too. I think this is the first one I've seen with it. With that said I think you should drop it just a little more. Other then that
