Just washed, but the rain is coming!

Russmov - was the grill swap DIY? I'm really wanting to go the double slat route. Right now I have chrome with single slat black, but I'm digging your setup.

That's the color I've been looking for! How much does something like that run?

This place has done powder coat for me on a few sets of wheels. It was only $80/wheel. Other local shops in my region range from $90-125/ wheel. I have the MPE exhaust on order and will have them coat the the chrome finishers black when it arrives.

Digging your ride. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the lower rear deck spoiler? How is the fitment?

Yeah it was diy.
Once I figured out what I needed to do it was pretty easy. There is a thread on here about how to do it, it was helpful. The hardest part is releasing the bottom clips I think.

Thanks! It's from ebay. They have the only carbon fiber option. The fitment isn't the greatest but it works. There's a domestic version by aero function but it's plastic and requires paint.

Clean!

P.S. Just a small suggestion to make it even better! Have you thought about swapping fake plastic grills with real mesh ones? IMHO fake plastic covers look not so good vs mesh ones? AFAIK they can be had oem

Something like this: http://www.rgsportshop.com/index.php...rch=F15&page=3

DuSh, is there any functional benefit to these, or are they purely aesthetic?

Pure aesthetic.
Unless you want to upgrade and add extra oil cooler.
