Are you going to file the edges of the iSport to try and make an even transitions from spoiler to lip?

would love to but you cannot easily mold CF, if i want this all one piece ill have to have it molded and a solid one piece design made.

Are you using LED's for your taillights? The bottom ones and the top? Do you use white LED's or red?

LEDs for everything minus the turns right now, they are all currently white as i wanted bright and they do just that. I might change to a red LED to see the difference if any if i can find some locally for cheap.

thanks, alright seems the missing lower park light was not just a bulb issue. swapped some bulbs in tonight and those do not work either, guess once its light out and not raining as hard ill have to make sure the harness works properly. I really hope i do not have to unplug the harness.
 
thanks Fuadmsp how is your SC bracket coming?

managed to get both tails to work properly the socket was not as clean as it needed to be and i had bad contact with the bulb.

also found out the PO of the isport lip had it tinted a bit darker then it was new to cover the yellow tint they tried. So after a bunch of hours sanding the lip went from this. (you can tell the lip is much darker)

Gonna start monday morning final got a ac bracket finally... Now deciding what gauge of steel or type of metal to do it with
 
I'm loving the matte bronze, man. Looking good! And fix the oil cap in that one pic.
 
I can't wait to see that ugly stock PS reservoir changed out. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

fittings land here tomorrow, hopefully ill have a few mins to myself this weekend to swap the reservoir, JDP lip, freshly painted Isport CF spoiler lip and few other things. Life's just been crazy busy these days.
 
always hated how the GT SPEC aluminum was clearcoated as it never stayed clean and you could not get it to look good.

so before
