^ What gen Ody?
And wrapping wasn't hard at all. If you've got some basic knowledge of how this stuff works and how to apply/stretch it then you should be good

My car has become garage buddies with Justin's lol... Kinda just sits there now I don't even remember the last time I drove her

Gave it it's 5th wash yesterday though



Nothing new either... Probably won't be anything new either except for random ass little things. Also said I would rock the striped left reverse for a week and ended up leaving that on there. I personally like it now so I'm just gonna leave it as it is until I decide to buy the JDM/EDM rear fog.

Finally did this, but only on the lower strip of the driver door lol

Smoke Vinyl over chrome.

Only reason I decided to do this was becuase I'm going to get the Mugen style visors and they create a drastic change between the chrome, to black so I wanted to make it flow a bit better.

Pretty simple.


I cut a strip of vinyl the height of the trim piece. Left the length little longer just in case.

Wet the trim piece with detailer. You could use plain water though. I did this to help get the air bubbles out and so I can move the vinyl around a bit if I need to.

Once I got everything aligned, I cut off the excess and got all the water out from under it by rubbing along it.

I can finally update this with something somewhat worthy! lol

Lame cellphone pic


Gonna install them tomorrow if I have time and feel like it~

And just to update with a bunch of random pics~ Did the full red out on the left reverse and wired it up with the parking lights so it works as a rear fog now.











One of my plans

I would've loved your BC's, but this was too good of a deal Just test running them for a week or two to see if I really wanna buy them.






Shitty cellphone pics for now~ I'll get some real photos by the end of this week~

That's a lot of time/effort installing and uninstalling if you don't end up keeping them. You better keep them because it looks sexy now. I really want to ride in yours to see how tein compare to megan coils. That is if you ever bring it to a meet...

Looks great dude. Maybe it looks that way because you're on uneven ground? It looks fine in your other pictures.

Nice pics and clean ass car man.

Noob question... do you know how your coils differ from the street basis at all? Not many people talk about these items on the forums (for Tein I only really see SS and Flex on here). I see that they're a little more expensive than the street basis and has an addition seat lock on each strut.

Was it hard to wrap it and have all the lines still be parallel? I had to stretch my black vinyl when I wrapped mine. I think the CF looks great.

The only place that I actually stretched them were the corners, and even that wasn't so much either. Everything looks fine, no weird deformed lines or anything

Is that your genesis buddy behind you?

What does the rig look like from a normal point of view?

What happened to your infamous spoiler project?

I don't really have a photo of the rig on the car cept for this... so imagine a big ass pole held by two powerful suction cups sticking out the side of the car with the camera on the end of it lol




As for my spoiler.... that's just sitting in the garage Maybe I'll finish it someday...
