JJaber that is one sick ride man. 
I wish I had the time and cash to do something like that, but my 05 NBP is staying stock for a little while longer.
You were talking about completing the ASpec kit, but have you seen CC__TL's set up with the 07 rear and the quads? That would look great on your car. And I'd love to see what it looks like in NBP so I can dream a little more

Yeah, that does sound really tempting. It'll easily cost over a G though...ouch
Type-S mufflers: about $200ea
Type-S rear bumper: $230
Type-S rear lip: $250
Paint & install: another $200
So its either that or the Comptech exhaust! But provides no actual gains
IMO, it does look better than the GREDDY and Comptech setups though.

Well technically you dont have to buy the rear bumper, just butcher your current one
. You can probably get some magnaflow quads instead of the actual type S ones so it should be as much and you won't have to waste money on paint and install. I'd still rather go with the GReddy if I had the money

Some of the cars on AZ look amazing with the big cans, but for me, like you said, I really dig the quads. I'm sure whatever you decide on will look good though, your whip rocks.

Someone already did this on the forums to, so you could ask them for help.

Anyone know how to get the roadblockers on perfect? I installed em, but there are bubbles...no matter how I try it, I always end up with a couple bubbles (mainly where I focused the blow dryer ) Do they eventually go away?

Burning Brakes
I put them on very easily on my OLD taillights, but i did have the benefit of having them off of my car when i was tinting them..
Def, find a local tint shop and they will hook it up right,,,

Damn, I already tried putting them on lol....I didn't realize how many bubbles there were until I put it in the light. Grrrrr....Do they eventually settle? At this point, I doubt I can take the film off

Heres a little something I did over the weekend....my least expensive mod!
1. Duplicolor caliper paint (black w/ ceramic)
2. Brakleen (brake cleaner)
3. Wire brushes
Cleaned up the caliper w/ brake cleaner and the wire brush
Covered everything I didn't want painted...
The end result (after three coats...waited 15 minutes in between)
...And, the tinted tails (20%)
Full shot! Haha...I had to block out the sun...
