    Test fitting the new lip before I actually get it painted. I just need to wait now because money is tight and i'm gonna start working in about a week or 2. Need to get this and the IS lip painted and mounted and the car is gonna start looking tits! Next thing is probably a drop and some wheels. For now I was thinking of painting the bottlecaps flat black. I know what paint to use but how should I sand the surface? Should I use 400 grit then primer then 800 grit then spray with the paint or is there a different way you guys did it?

    Today I decided to dump the old seal beams for euro ellips. Started out by removing the grills and the lights themselves.
    Out with the old....

    In with the new..

    This was much easier than doing it on my older car. Took me about 3-4 hours and this took me less than 1. Love the difference. HID's are a must

    I got home today with a package waiting for me in my room. My IS spoiler arrived today and I am very happy! ( Thanks Levent! )


    Also managed to pull the valve cover off and give it a nice touch ;)
    I'm still waiting on other stuff. Ordered a front IS spoiler from the group buy section, also waiting on front fogs and the foglight switch.
