Good Job! I know about the fingers man. Mine hurt from those dang clips that you have to pop out. If I ever meet the guy that invented those I would punch him in the face. Now you can rest and enjoy the view.

Car looks really good.

I found installing the brackets was hardest, because the space was so tight.

seriously those brackets barely get in there the whole time i kept wondering if i was doing this right i had never taken off the bumpers before or anything the sides were pretty simple first one took me like 40 minutes then second side like 20... front took me like 3 hours!!! rear took me maybe 2 hours the rest of the time i was talkn to the neighbor and eating lunch haha

I find the Type-S A-Spec rear and sides look sexy on WDP!

The front, not so much, but still good.

That looks really good! Glad you were able to do it, I know about how tired you are cause I did my wife's van a few years ago but it was worth it. Now you car is complete and looks clean.

dude that looks so good. i thought your car looked clean before, its super nice now. 6 hours of fun. modding and doing stuff to my car to me is fun. cuz at the end of the day you have something to show for it, plus there's a sense great satisfaction when you do things yourself. good job!

again awesome looking whip! whats next?

Looking good. I'm skeptical about putting the Aspec kit on my ride.
You know the simple and clean look. But dam after seeing this makes me want to do this also.

Oh mah gawd Your car is perfect man! I love it. My only gripe is that I think the rear lip is a bit low, I can still see the little bulge from the stock bumper right above the lip.

So what's next?

yea you know i think im guna mess with it more tomorrow see if i can play with it at all while it is on... i lined everything up exactly as per instructions and drilled the holes in the rear as they were marked on the inside of my bumper so im not sure im hoping i can pull up on it a tad see what happens i was too tired to keep mesin with it anymore today haha.... whats next hmm still not really sure gota figure that out myself

well u have to remove the existing side skirts and replace with the new ones... you have to remove the front bumper completely and install the aspec front lip to it and reinstall with some new brackets... finally remove the rear bumper mount aspec to it and re install... its a pain in the butt however im sure if i had to do it all over again i could shave an hour or so off the install time since i know how to do it now

thanks guys for the kind words! i really enjoy driving her around now i always did before but now my car really has some of its own style

i tweaked on the rear a lil bit today and got it lined up nice and straight now .... i guess i didnt have the brakets lined up properly in the rear wheel areas so it was pulling the edges down making some of the old body line visible and not matching properly with the bumper lines... now it is pretty much spot on!
