Thanks guys for the comments. Regarding the paint, it was bought on autozone and the color is blue btw. About the painting process, it is the same painting process ( sand paper, prime, paint, clear coat )

The A-spec is already on ( side skirts, and back under spoiler ). thinking about getting an aftermarket splitter or type s front spoiler ( but will have to customize it which i really don't want )

Here are some pics. Sorry for the bad quality; as you can see the car is dirty

Idk if you did or not, but moving the steering wheel left and right before spraying each side would have saved you much frustration.

If you did do this, props!

Very nice!

I'm always confused. Do you have a base 6mt? It looks like a type-s but you have ua6 and SSM in your signature and you have brembos!

those are not needed.
they are "rotor" screws.
it holds the rotor in place DURING production, while the car is going down the assembly line.

they are a bitch to get off, so why put them back on!?
the wheels and wheel lugs hold the rotor in place.

Dude, the lugs look good. Just know they'll get scraped up a lot, which is normal.

As you might know, I've got the Brembo covers on the rear brakes-I like them. They really complete the look of the wheels/tires area.

OP, when you're putting the lugs back on...put a plastic bag inside your lock key before you put it on the lugs. that way the plastic will be a barrier between your metal on metal contact and the paint wont chip.

I did few tiny things, let me know what you think

Custom grille


Black out emblems


Well here is the story: girl gets mad, grabs the type s emblem in my room, grabs glue and finally glues the emblem on the trunk. Tried removing it but it is stuck and i'm afraid to ruin the paint.

haven't had the chance to paint the locks yet.

I was thinking the same thing but i love the type s waffle wheels too much to replace them. If anything, i would have the scratches on the wheels fixed.

You're going to hate this, but you need all the lugs blue. Which means either paint the locking lugs or go without them.

Pic is up. I would work on a way to remove the emblem. Even if it's moved to the correct spot for a type s it would look better. And I agree, all lugs or none. Calipers look nice tho, it is a color I've considered.
