Idk yet, i havent really had time to look and see what my options are. The only reason why its not fitting is because of my lip. Ill try to figure out something lol. I also have an OEM 08 bottom grill so i might put that one in. idk if it''ll fit either tho lol.

Nope i didnt modify mine. If you drop em all the way down, you can get a nice "baby tuck". My tires are just under the edge of the fenders. No pics of em dropped all the way, sorry The fronts are all the way down, and the rears are at 5-6 threads left. And im still on stock wheels. They are a bit bouncey, so going through uneven parking lots and crappy pave jobs are the worst, but as far as general everyday city/ highway driving I have no complaints. I was expecting it to be unbearable, but was actually quite pleased. If you compress the springs and keep them around 10-15 threads ( which is still a decent drop, almost 0 wheel gap) the ride is rubbish. Very bouncey, and stiffer. And not a good stiff...annoying and uncomfortable. Anyways, if you get em and decide theyre not for you, you wont be out TOO much $. I dont regret it. yet. haha.

dh517, Im on s-techs.
I love love LOVE that white led day time running light, looks aggressive on the black very clean look. I know some people run colored ones in there and it ruins the image but that is nice I enjoy it,

Keep up the good work and put your bottom grill back in yo!

Haha Thanks for the info Turd, i'm gonna stay on my super sevens until i can save up for some wheels. I just want there to be little to no gap. and im prob gonna need a camber kit, front and rear right?

Dwalker, thanks bro! i love my white led turn signals on my side mirrors, i just need to find a white bulb that can match better for the front turn signals. And about the grille, i tried to mess with it tonight, and its a pita haha. Looks like ima have to take the lip off first.

you won't need a camber kit unless you are running wider wheels.

Oh ok, Thanks for the info Turd, im still kinda new to the whole camber/suspension stuff. google will be my friend lol.

and yeah TRD-Chris, ill let you guys know, I do know that Meng does sell some white bulbs, but the actual bulb itself is blue, idk how that would look. but im willing to give it a try. The white turn signals i have now are horrible, i cant even see them in the daytime lol.

Which brand turn signals did you get? I had Pilot Chrome/White and one blew at the press of the hazard button, the one that still lit was not bright enough, and wasn't super super white, more like running Sylvania Silverstars(which still isn't white).

To be honest, idr what site i got them from. But im sure they werent pilot. Lol I bought some Sylvania Sliverstars and i was ____ed when i put them in, they looked OEM, haha.

^ These are the ones im looking at from Meng, i talked to someone from their website (great customer service btw), and i'm thinking these could be the closest match to my side mirror signals. but idk how i feel about paying 30 bucks for turn signals lol...

Bringing this thread back from the dead

Have really done alot to it lately, been busy with school and work. I picked up a HKS hi-power back in May...

Teh fart cannon.

Recently, I bought an extra set of OEM headlights. I baked them open and painted the housing, eyelid and amber reflector all black. Being my first time, i think it came out pretty good.

I'll get some better pix later. I also switched out my bulbs in my fogs for hyper yellows, and put in some 8k bulbs in my headlights.

Small update, picked up some red/clear anzo's and they stuck out too much with my "black" theme, so i smoked the red part and left the clear part. I stole the idea from someone on here, haha. I kinda wish i went darker on the smoke because in the daytime, they look dark cherry-ish, lol but oh well. And i also found a rs1 rear lip as well. I had to cut it to make it fit with my hks...pita.

I also decided to sell my super sevens. Just throwing it out there. I plan on getting a wider set up pretty soon.

Where did you buy the badgeless garnish? Or did you just had a shop filled in your original one?
