download the how-to i posted for the lip kit and you can always just call since i'm local.

AustinTaper

Thanks! I definitely will. I talked to Rene about it too and he said you did all of the molding. I still haven't decided if I'll go that route or not yet but will reach out to you first if I do.

Are you still doing C&C each month? I hope to make the next one.

AustinTaper

Small update - painted and installed the M5 lip. Also got a new license plate (the cheaper $70 option vs $500/yr option...).

I also bought the RL BBK, slotted rotors (all 4) and SS lines from P.Diddy and the last item will be delivered tomorrow. I also bought AMR coilovers and those arrive tomorrow too. I'll be getting the BBK + coils installed the weekend of 03/10 (thanks distortedolskool!!) and will post an update then.

later this spring, new, darker tint and then a high quality photo shoot. For now, crappy cell phone pictures will have to do.

On the other hand flowers on the license plate are kinda annoying.

AustinTaper

Haha, Texas pride!! That and I couldn't justify $500 a year for others I liked.

I miss those wheels

AustinTaper

FWIW, to follow up on this I know there were some questions on if this was real CF or Di-Noc and this weekend distortedolskool helped install my coilovers and brakes and he confirmed 100% this is definitely real CF

Really sweet, love the total look
Thought about de-chroming around the windows?

AustinTaper

Thanks! No I had not considered it. Do you know any other examples to see for reference?

Noah (nf something) did it on his SSM.

His thread is "CL in the City" in the photograph section.

Can't remember the guy either, but I think he used black -out tape or treatment from 3M he found on Ebay.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yea, he used the 3M tape. I tried to use the tape and failed miserably, so I just used plastidip.

mugen_kid

Keep up the great work, im really liking them brakes! Man I got the mod bug

mugen_kid

Plastidip FTW

AustinTaper

How do you like the ride quality of the amr coil overs?

AustinTaper

well this is my 1st set of coils so I have little to compare against, but before this I had the Eibach pro kit springs and compared to those, the ride is much more stiff. I adjusted the settings from hard to soft...and back to hard again...not much noticeable difference. I love the stance and ability to adjust the ride height how I like it.

AustinTaper

here are a few more pictures taken recently. Not much changed besides new window tint and maintenance items. I also worked out the bug I had with the RL calipers and now they work great. I still need to get front camber arms and check end links, but it is riding pretty good now!
