Great job!

How come you didn't keep the regular fogs that the type-s came with?

Well TL Luver had these before me, and seemed like a cool/different alternative than ordering 200-300 dollar depo or oem fogs, there were 20 bucks shipped on amazon and they literally screw together using steel mesh behind the fogs, thanks for the compliments guys!

You can't spin your timing belt without your third gear?...I was at 150k running the strip & on a dyno with 20% oil lol...& seen like a 200k one...I'm pretty sure your still good for a little while...

I wouldn't take a chance if you don't need too.

Yes, some may last up to xxx amount of miles, but some may last xxx miles before they crack. I, for sure, know I need mine done soon... I can see some belts wearing.

If you decide on bringing it too someone to do, then I'll be down on doing it with you as well assuming we get a discount on it.

Why do I have to use zip ties? Shouldn't it go on securely with the stuff provided?

I would like some help on it but I decided to keep ALL my performance parts and continue to mod exterior and interior now.

He means the little zip tie like tabs, not literally zip ties, that are on the inside of the rear aspec. One on each end and then drill 3 holes in your bumper (center) for the aspec to secure on to the bumper.

Four on the front & at least 4 on the rear... you won't ever be able to remove Aspec once instilled to sell or something as you have to cut rectangular holes for those zip tie tabs on you factory bumper.....
