Default After 4months, my first ever post for PICS plus reviews!

So its been that long since i got the car and parts as well. Never got the chance to get them installed until today.

Thanks to some of you guys referral, i got it done at Overdrive Performance. Very affordable and bunch of cool guys. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Here are some pics. I will also give my reviews on the products i installed.








These are the MODS i currently have on my car:

FAB KIT & FOG
FAB CF SPOILER
OD GRILLE
bBist CF HOOD
INJEN COLD AIR
DC HEADER
BM SHORT SHIFTER
TEIN S-TECH
WORK EUROLINE DH 18'S

My reviews on these items. These are just solely my personal opionions on these items.

FAB KIT AND FOG:
got these from Tommy, NSP Tuner. Tommy is a great guy to work with, very cool cat. I got to say, for what the kit is worth, the fitment is very good. I was really surprise to see how good they fit. NICE JOB TOMMY, WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU FOR FAB KIT AND FOG. A+ for the fitment and price!

FAB CF SPOILER FROM BBIST:
I got these from Steve awhile back, never gotten the chance to put it on a week ago. It was a great transaction with Steve, very cool person to deal with as well. I was really dissappointed with both the fitment and quality of the spoiler. I have heard alot of great things about bBist so i decided to go with his product. Unfortunately, it was a let down. The seam on the edge of the spoiler was not smooth, quality of the spoiler was really sub-par. Fitment on the side was not so great as well. If i had a chance again i would not have bought this spoiler. I gave it a C for both fitment and quality.

bBist CF HOOD
Also, got these from Steve. Also very dissappointed with the quality as well. the edges are really bad. There are little bubbles on the hood as well. Probably from trap air as they clear coated. Whatever it was, its not coming out. I paid over 500 for these and was very dissappointed. Fitment is decent, couple be better. C for quality and B for fitment.

I notice a pretty good boost from the Injen cold air and header. I thought the rims will really slow me down alot, but it seems to be faster. Or maybe the sound of the cold air makes it look like its going faster

Tein S-tech
I just installed these today and im planning to either put the original back on or find another brand that will have a "higher" drop for the rear. My rear is scratching REALLY BAD. Its not drivable. Part of my side skirt is chipping already. It seems the rear is alot lower than the front. If you guys know any springs that has a higher drop please let me know

Cars looks really good, sorry to hear about Hood & Spolier.
What about the Headlights? Where did you get them from?

I hear that H techs are an inch higher than the s tech.

I have TRD Springs, which is comparable in drop to the H techs. If you want to trade LMK

damn yo, that is madd clean. i love the VIP look you're going for on the box. The Fab styling is awesome in black, and the OD grille is awesome.
Too bad the bBist products didn't turn out as well as you had hoped.
As for springs, maybe try the TRD or Tein H-Techs, those are both around 1" inch drops, instead of the 1.7 that the S-Techs give.
Now get some Fabulous emblems, and you'll have one PIMP ride.

Wanna trade just the rear? Im satisfy with the front, dont wanna pay extra just to take them out. I got the projectors from ebay. They are the sonar ones. Works great, no complains. Lets see how the raining season goes..LOL. Im sure you can find them on ebay for under 100. How much are the TRD springs? i heard there're only 1'' drop.

WOW! Nice box but IMO...lose that shiny grill. Yes I know it's JDM but it just doesn't look right, maybe cause your Box is a dark color...
