So we FINALLY got a nice day here in Pa. I waited till noon when it warmed up a bit to install my Stillen side skirts. Very easy install and took less than 40 minutes to do both sides. Still waiting on the wheels to finish her off. I have the front two wheels but waiting on the rears. But so far, I really love the look.

Thanks Brian I have my wheels but I'm just waiting for the rears. I painted the cover about two weeks ago. Used a buddy's garage. Stillen on the windshield is by choice. Kyle wanted pics of my car for their website and ads that they run in major tuner mags but I'm hold off on giving them pics until my wheels are in. Hopefully soon. So no Stillen sponsorship as of this point but I would welcome it with open arms if offered.

Took the cover off, scuffed it down with 320 wet/dry paper, shot a coat of adhesion promoter followed by 2 coats of 2k primer, wait 15 min, shot 2 coats of paint, wait 30 minutes, sot 3 coats of clear. Let it dry for 3 days. then a quick wet sand with 1500 grit to level everything off then buffed it.

As for waiting for the wheels, it is torture. I'm calling them every week to see if they got them. They probably know me by name by now lol

I would desertdragon but I'm afraid of someone sporting them before me and that would be like showing up at the prom with the same dress as someone else...not that I wear dresses of course You'll have to wait just like me but i promise, It's gonna look freaking awesome!

I hope they aren't the same ones as the enkei's I ordered I guess it would be a fasion faux-pas if we both had the same wheels...

Hey I got a quick question for you... What are these attached to?

I drilled the holes out before hand but, once the bumper is installed, I don't see anything bellow them

I'm not sure. I didn't install the fascia. the shop that painted it did the install. I think there is a metal support bracket underneath it and the pins go thru the fascia and into the holes on the support braket.. That 's what I get when I have someone else do the work for me.

Nice ride dangeris... have you thought about putting another layer of the headlight overlays on to give it a deeper dark look? ALso, when you get the wheels, it will look very clean!

Thanks Doc! Yes I have thought about putting another layer but I was really contemplating on what you did.... shooting a couple of coats with spray tint. I still have 2 cans of JDM window spray tint. And when I say JDM, I mean JDM! Everything on the bottle is all written in Japanese. I had my brother translate the instructions for me since he is fluent in the language. But yeah, I can't wait for the wheels to come in and I'm getting very impatient as of this point.

Very nice, cant have two red 3.5se's with the same wheels....... as soon as the wheels come in, I should have tints done, springs and intake installed and the new 18"s on my baby......I will post pics...... I am also trying to get custom projector retrofits done as well.... I am trying to see if there is anyone in the GTA that provides this service.
