Another day at the shop: H-tech, Tokico, Brakes, Chargespeed cf front lip :)

Stopped by the shop today to install the following:

H-tech springs (with springmount mod)
Tokico D-Spec shocks
DBA rotors
SS lines
Hawk Pads
And most importantly...the Chargespeed front cf lip

I installed the H-techs and took out my S-techs to get some front clearance so I don't mess up my new lip The ride quality is great, and the Tokicos kick *** Car feels and handles so much better now

Pix...



Not a BBK, but I think the DBA rotors still looks nice (def an improvement over stock lol)


Test fitting the lip while the brakes are being done...





Night shots...





The Charge speed lip is very durable and almost a perfect 1x1 weave. There is one small imperfection in the weave, but not very noticeable...the lip has some curves so I wouldn't expect the weave to be perfect when you're bending the cf like that. I think it really changes the look of the car and goes great with the APR mirrors. What do you guys think?

thats annoying that the bumper didnt come as a complete kit, so you have to pay for all those inserts aswell?.......and i liked the chargespeed kit

it only makes sense from a marketing and financial standpoint for Charge speed Not everyone wants carbon fiber, and it would cost too much to produce the whole kit with the carbon pieces already on it.
