Hi Guys,
I just wanted to share some photos of the A-SPEC body kit I've recently installed.
Sorry, I kind have went nuts on the pics

Looks good! I especially like the mesh in the upper and lower grilles. It also looks like you're having the same wonderful weather we're having

Thanks Chill. The weather there is probably a bit better. At least the rain will wash away the snow..for the time being.

looking very good, that car is coming together nicely!

Was it hard to install this kit? how long did it take to install it?

Thanks Loki

Took me a whole day because I did it myself. My friend was supposed to help, but he had to go back to Canada for the Thanksgiving weekend. If you have help, it would probably take you 3 to 4 hours. The cold weather here slowed me down a bit as well.
Also, I only had the factory jack and that takes a while to raise the car.

I followed the directions on this forum and did them myself. It's not that hard, but take alot of time and burnt fingers.

I love how your headlights look! Most unique ones out there.

These are the instructions posted by Ayethetiense
before you continue to read, you understand that i will not be held liable if anything goes wrong... these are just guidelines if you are interested in attempting this project.

purchase silicone at a hardware store.

pre heated the oven at 200

put it on a wet towel.... make sure the towel isnt too wet or else its gona fog up the inside of the headlight...

let it sit for about 20 min....

get it out with mittens so you dont burn your fingers...

then use your hands and seperate the headlights from the center part of the car to the sides.... be careful of the black silicone so that it does not get on any part of the headlight as you are opening the assembly. its a bitch to clean off. it will be messy

the silicone or whatever the black sticky stuff is is very important to keep. it will stretch as your are pulling it. get a flat head screw driver and gently stuff it back into the groove of the headlights. you will be using this later and it is better then regular silicone.

CAREFULLY take the amber piece out. it is connected to the chrome strip inside the headlight....

while pulling slowly on the amber piece, give counterforce to the backing of the chrome piece so that it does not snap. start from the sides of the headlight toward the center part. (opposite of how you opened up the headlights)

then relax for a bit and let your burnt/tired fingers rest.

squeeze a generous amount of silicone on the groove of where both pieces of the headlight would come together, better more then less. this part will not be visible once it is put back into the vehicle, so it would be ok having excess silicone.

there is a pointed section on the sides of the headlight. angle it so that you get that section in first and then push the rest of the assembly back together. bake it for 10 min and push the sections together trying to make the tabs realign. bake it for another 10 min and do it again. each time it will become more flush.....

then do the other headlight....

good luck!

o, this project is not for the faint of heart... not too complicated but you gotta attack it. if you are scared of breaking someting, get som1 else to do it. the headlight pieces are very sturdy though...

o by the way, i also installed the comptech rear bar and its awesome.... i used the write up that some1 else did as instructions.... worked great except for gettin the bar out... the angle to get it out wasnt clearly stated. i also had a problem getting all the bolts back on. just used a little muscle and did it in different orders tightening each bolts bit by bit to get the angle on all of them... took me awhile but i got it done and this thing is awesome...

i heard a lot of people giving it praise, but o man its even better then i thought.

If you do get some of the black silicone on the housing, I find it easy to take off with goo gone.

Wow!! Sharp look!

I really like your grille work. Was this aftermarket, or did you build them yourself???
