wanted to install morimoto fog lights. couldn't get access to passenger side fog light, due to wiper water bottle so.....

Haha! I swore quite a bit doing my fog lights and trying to find a way to reach the passenger one through the wheel well. Still a few scratches on my hands from that escapade.
I ended up going from underneath the front bumper, quite easy to access from there. (Depending on your car height that is). My car was on stands as a ceramic coating was being applied to my winter wheels, which made it easy.

Yep. Driver side is easiest through the wheel-well. Turn the wheel in, pull some clips, peel back the liner and everything is right there. You might scratch up your forearm a bit, but no pain no gain.
Passenger side can only (?) be done from underneath, and best when elevated on a jack or ramps. Better yet, up on a lift. But there's limited fitment and range of movement because of the washer fluid reservoir, so you need one of these:
hey man, love the carbon fiber look. If you dont mind me asking/you sharing, what was the ballpark price of this modification and how did you go about doing it?
$20 with amazon prime, I used the 3m 1080 material, the labor is fairly intensive/tedious to wrap everything and take it off, service manual helped
Thanks! They came in today! I get all my car parts shipped to my work, since I'm there during the day. Work now mostly thinks I'm obsessed with car parts after this summer :-( (Which isn't far from the truth)
Still surprised it only took like a week to arrive in Winnipeg from Osaka, Japan haha.
I recently installed Bilstein B16 coilovers and GTHAUS CBE. The stock struts and shocks were replaced for the first time after 125,000 miles.
This completely changed the ride of the car as it is much smoother and responsive on cornering.
The exhaust probably make my neighbors angry everytime I start the car in the morning.
I still need FUCA since coils lowered the car. Looking for SPC or SPLs. Which one do you guys suggest?
From the side view. Nice drop This was at the shop. Those tips.... Coils in the front.

Very nice, quality parts! Some aftermarket wheels would really complete the new stance.
Very nice setup there, please post up a review of the Bilstein suspension if you get the time, would be good info as there's not much feedback on them for the G applications.
Exhaust looks great too! SPL would be the choice for the Control Arms if you can stretch your budget, or the newest adjustable SPC sets. Ape Factory is running them (SPC) so you might shoot him a PM for more info.

Wow! Bilstein coilovers and GT Haus exhaust... Talk about high-end. It'll be nice to see some feedback!
