Yea no problem, I didn't want mine to completely match so I had a little contrast. Its completely reversible too. I may end up having mine painted for real but so far the dip and the paint are holding up well.

I wouldn't mind doing it over a long period of time. I just don't see it happening without a TL to do the multiple test fits. I would much rather mod the C-mod grille then combine the two.

I got them off ebay, it appears the seller doesn't have these in stock anymore or they stopped selling them. My tips were pretty much just like this except for they are 4" instead of 3"

I did find these which seem to be ok, but not sure how they would look.

The main thing is you want to make sure the tips are 4" tips anything less will not look good really.

So Matt do think those tips you just posted the link to (2.5 inlet 4" outlet) will fit just fine?

Not sure but they look like they would. 4" dual tips is what is needed to fill the gap. They are also shorter overall than the ones I got so less would need to be cut down.
They don't appear to be staggerd tips though so I cant tell if they would poke out when looking at the car from the side. Lol there is only one way to tell if they will work!

Matt is definitely right. Nothing less than 4" outlets and make sure they aren't welded on too low. I'm glad I went ahead and got mine at the end of June before they stopped selling them on eBay.

and the second one looks familier... I think I've seen that before somewhere... How ya been Bro? Haven't heard from you in a while... I'm finally home for a weekend... As I'm sure Matt can tell you since he's learning the ropes photography and sweet images take a lot more than just a DSLR... There's a big difference between a photographer and a person with a nice camera...

Thank you!
I put them on the little windows on the rear on both sides.
Thanks Mike! Lol, So do I....
Thanks Bro! Lol yea I was shooting and had thought about that pic you took last time; decided to try it myself. I've been good; Cheryl has been keeping us busy pretty much every weekend. We should hang out soon, I know you have been busy with your friend. What are you doing Tuesday or Wednesday? I wanna start on Cheryls TL now. I already did her grill; I want to paint her wheels. Hit me up on text or FB and we'll figure it out.

Thanks!
The rears are +42 offset, I have a mildly stretched tire 255-30-20, and I didn't slam my car (TEIN S tech). If I slammed it I'd need to roll my fenders. That's about it though. They fit great and sit pretty much flush. 10.5 doesn't really seem like a huge deal to fit on a 4G.

Nothing special needs to be done to the car to make them fit. Just make sure you lightly stretch the rear tires. I used a 255/30/20 and I have no rubbing issues being lowered.

Thank you for the help
So with your setup of 225-35-20 front and 255-30-20 rear the stretching of the tires how are they holding up? I seen you saying that whole alignment might be off etc.

They hold up just fine. I had an alignment done like 3-4 weeks ago and I didn't have any bad wear. The only thing that sucks is you have no room for error if you hit a curb or something. I was backing out of a parking spot and was close to the curb and I turned the wheel too soon and grinded the shit out of my lip on the front wheel. Had to sand it down and paint it so its all good but you definitely have to be a bit more careful.

stock height
Stock height?
i have them bagged up in the garage. Probably going to sell them soon with the tires and tpms. If your interested pm me and when i get ready to sell them i will let you know first.
They are 20" vossen cv3's. 9" +35 offset and rear is 10.5 +42 offset i believe.
Yea i lowered it but i went the cheap route and just did the tein s tech. It was exactly what i was looking for.
Sort of, i did just blacked them out with the cbp paint and put some high powered led's behind the projectors for a future project. No tsx lenses or cut off shields though. I might do them in the future but i'm getting a heat gun first. The oven bake for the headlight was really inconvenient and made the house smell like burnt plastic.
Sunday morning photo's!

I finally got some time to work on the car this past weekend. I had some TSX-r lenses for the projectors and Nexson had sent me a new grill. My other grill was ok but no where near as good as the quality that Nexson does. I'll be doing a photo shoot again soon. Hopefully the weather chills out so I can actually wash my car without it raining 30 minutes later. Anyways.... since I had the headlights open to put in the new lenses I decided to paint my cut off shield. I didn't want to do red since it was already done in the 4G forums so I went with teal. Hoping to do another shoot soon to show off the nice new grill! Here's a pic of the cutoff shield though.
What do you think of the TSX-R lenses? Mine didn't make as much of a difference as I thought. Just a wider beam and sharper cutoff. I think I'll upgrade the HID bulbs next.
Have you thought of putting some orion v2 halos in?

Nah didn't matter, just bad luck!
Thank you!
Haha its a must do on the 4G
No, Dropped on Tein stechs like a 1.6 inch drop.
I didn't notice much from the lenses either, maybe a more colorful sharper cutoff, and a little bit brighter but yea that could be due to it being wider.
I have thought about Halo's but I feel mixed about them, I feel like they don't flow but then I do.... Part of me feels like they may be played out now.
