Nice progression
Maybe one of these days I'll make a progression thread.
On the condensation, I'd just pull your lights out and run a bead of sealant all the way around where the lense meets the housing. Then do the hairdryer method and blow all the condensation out before you put your bulbs back in, no need in resplitting them

Congrats on finally making a progress thread! I find it much easier to keep all of my projects and such in one thread instead of creating a new thread each time I do something.
Your car is coming along nicely! I would put a drop and the rear Type-S sidemarkers at the top of your priority list. The drop will complement the A-Spec kit very nicely

Wow, sorry to see what happened to the girl's car. I guess it's a good ideal to do it by hand, for sure.

Yeah I bet! Sometimes I wish I had them but I feel like they clutter the sides of the car a bit.

The tails look excellent. I'm not a fan of the window visors either, but they do look good on WDP!

Looks good. How bright are your switchbacks in the daytime? My headlights are completely blacked out like yours and in the daytime you can hardly even tell when my turn signals are on with regular bulbs because the black doesn't reflect much light.
