Mdfspaulding progress thread

So I am new to posting in the forum even though I have been a member for awhile. I wanted to post pictures and help answer questions in whatever way possible. I will start with stock pictures and go mod by mod however my car is far from stock now. I picked up the car a year ago completely stock. It is a 2012 graphite luster metallic fwd tech.

Are you going to add the new pictures or are you saying the car above is far from stock now?

I know, I know, its been forever but here they are.









painted the front grill using rattle cans and ours of prep/ sanding and polishing.

put a layer of clear coat on the plastics in the bumper to allow them to stand out a bit more.

Here's some pics of the rear end, morimoto fogs, and rear roof spoiler.

The more motors next to the stock fogs.

Nice progress. I personally would have color matched the sheild. It would clean up the front. They black/cleared trim is a nice touch.

it was diy and just vinyl wrap, took a few hours and a bit of wasted wrap as I figured out how to do it but I’m happy with the results.

I didn’t drop it, I’ve had multiple people ask, I think it’s primarily the rims with a better offset making the gap slightly less ugly, still want to drop it in the future.
