Cool, I found the cheapest price for the TEIN CST was $1666+$35 shipping from GRIP MOTORSPORTS. It is going to be special order from Japan, and takes about 10 weeks.

Didn't know you had your calipers painting. What color are you painting the calipers? I'm eager to see how your grill will look with white. Don't forget to click, click on the pictures mi amigo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry not feeling white on calipers. They get dirty quicker...

Yes, I got my grill painted and installed it yesterday. It looks awesome. If the weather permits I'm taking some pictures this weekend.

The quality of the pic is fine, we just want a pic from further away to take in the whole feel of the car and how the grill blends.

Wait, how did you get the trophy before the grill was painted? Second and last pic, no paint.

Looks great man! Congrats on the win! It's always good to see an RL getting recognition. That always seems so few and far between these days. Congrats again!

the painting of the grill happened weeks before Wekfest Chicago. So i won the trophy at an event months before i decided to paint it.

People like the transformation of the car and allowed me to win the event. Which i was shocked but its good trophy to have...

Congratulations on your win I'm sure your wife is happy too. That really sucks you can't get your money back. Let's hope you won't get hit with a re stocking fee. So what kit you plan on ordering if the dealer give your money back?
