I used to use those. They held up about the same as stock but still crushed a bit. I like these because they don't glue the element together, they use a metal clamp.

I installed my LNF upper and lower grille on my SS/SC this weekend. Always loved the look of the LNF grille and happy to have it on my car now. Car goes in for hood wrap on Wednesday and then tinting rear windows on Monday. Will be nice to have an updated appearance.

Here we can legally go as dark as we want on the rear windows, but absolutely nothing on the fronts. Technically, even the clear UV blocking stuff isn't allowed on the front.

I'll be doing 20% on my back windows. I once had a car that I did 5% in back and could barely see backing up at night.

That would look good but i drive at night alot so 5 would be to dark for me. Maybe do 20 all round. Im moving from horizon and going to a more central area so cops shouldnt be a problem as much

Apparently drove by a crime scene as it was happening and didn't even know it? Anthony is a ghetto-ass town

Got my CF trunk today. Not posting pics until it's installed. Already fitting my third brake light and sealing it where it could use some sealer. There's some wicked gaps lol. Got a sweet shirt though. Too bad I can't wear it since it's black and I have a cat Definitely going to weigh it and weigh my stock trunk with the wing.

To me it's worth having someone else do it. Trust me 20% is pretty bad at night. Takes a while to get used to. If you can get your hands on Alpine Black Box tint or whatever the ceramic one 3M makes then do. It's worth the expense.

Weighed the carbon fiber trunk at somewhere between 10-12lbs with third brake light and hardware. It's almost the same weight as my electric guitar. I'm wondering what a stock trunk weighs.

^^ Did you do the cabs yourself?

So after driving around on my coilovers for 3 weeks, I finally decided to get a wheel alignment.... HOLY ****!!

The difference in ride quality is night and day!

Anyone with coilovers, don't make ANY adjustments, or have ANY preconceived notions about ride quality until you get an alignment.

I know its been said over and over.... but seeing and feeling the results for yourself is a whole different ball game.
