Car looks great, Cabo. Let me know if you have trouble getting an AutoKitzX rear diffuser. I still have my carbon fiber AutoKitzX rear diffuser that I just pulled off the car a few months ago when I upgraded from the 2008 rear bumper to the 2010+ rear bumper. Here's a pic of it on my car from when I first installed it.

 

Thanks for the offer man.. I emailed them today say should be shipping out soon.. if anything happens I'll let you know. Have pics of the new rear 2010 bumper?

 

Sounds good, man. If you haven't installed any body parts yourself, make sure to use some Clean Solve to prep the surface and 3M 4298 Adhesion Promoter when installing your new rear diffuser.


I just recently posted some updated pics of my car in this thread about a month ago, but here's a pic of the new rear end that I took at the recent Spocom show we had here in Anaheim a few weeks ago. I mainly went with the 2010+ rear bumper so I could use the Access Evolution rear diffuser and quad tips. I've since adjusted the rear camber and added 3mm spacers so the rear tires sit nice and flush again even with the ~30 - 35mm extended custom rear fenders.

 

^^hot damn looking real good!!

 

Sicckkkkkkk!!!

 

From when I bought it to now, been 2 years. More to come. Coilovers soon, hopefully.

 

Thanks, CC. Your car's looking amazing as well. Also, didn't you get the 2010+ front conversion bumper from Carbon Signal?

Thanks, Cabo! Much appreciated. Still not sure if I like it more now than the way it was before or not.


Here are a few more iPhone pics that I took at the show. Almost time for another real photo-shoot.... just have a few more parts I need to install.

 

I'm not worthy!
Just one from after a long two days of a lot of work by myself. Installed, springs, sways, camber arms and lastly Akebonos to my X, it was rough but I got it done. Excuse the dirtyness and plasti dip -flame suit on-
Still need to get an alignment and wheels.

 

Nice work^^^
Looks like you did a good job on the wheels and are those Akebonos painted white (hard to tell on my PC) but looking proper!

 

thanks blnewt, they are powder coated, hard to tell from the pictures but they also have black akebono decals. apparently they were the first white ones mike at tuner z store had sent off for. turned out good IMO

 

Very Nice! Car looks great! Still love that factory sport lip! Welcome to the white Akebono club! At first you'd think white brake calipers is a bad idea, but if you keep them clean and use wheel wax on them on a regular basis they will hold up well. Mine have held up very well over the years!

 

You sir, have put together one Bad A$$ sedan.

 

Excellent, thanks for the advice. I was on the fence about white but decided to pull the trigger, I'm happy with the decision and outcome.

 

haha I did and I ve been slacking on getting it on. I just moved to VA which is awesome and found some great shops to do some work on the G so as soon as I finish moving in to my new house (closing on the 28th) and settled in the bumper is being dropped off and painted then mounted.


Probably mid Sep before you guys see anything lol
