I kind of want a sport lip but I know I would destroy it in weeks.

Anyways today I put coil spring spacers on the back Tein Basis Zs. At the top perch I was tucking tire and it bothered me. Spring spacers gave back damn near 2 inches, so I split the difference. Looks a lot better now, is even and should save my tires a good bit.

I have the Grom Audio VLine coming but we'll see when that actually gets installed.

I had the same problem, i used the coil sleeve things to raise up the rear. It hasn't sagged at all in a few thousand miles.

Is the grom that android replalcement thing? I was tempted to get that too.

I think the rear of the G is too heavy for coils designed for the Z. Sits right now though.

And yea that's the Android thing. Hoping I can figure out a way to mirror my screen. That would be the ultimate. It's on a discount now, I'd jump soon.

Painted, ceramic coated, and installed the sport calipers. I was going for some contrast so as you can see I played around with the extra set of stickers. I thought about getting the calipers powder coated blood red but after hearing the price I decided to do this with burgundy stickers w/ silver accents from another set to keep a more factory appeal. Turned out better than I thought and ended up being fun. I still have the sport wheels so unfortunately these aren't displayed too well on my G, which is graphite shadow.

I don't think I care for the red decals against the gunmetal, however that gunmetal finish is sweet.

Nice job. Very unique.

so it very well could be the entire paint job/labor that murdered me in terms of the price tag plus all install. As for the side markers, I purchased from VLED's site. Below are all the links that for the items I purchased.

I agree! I really like the red over the metallic gunmetal grey,especially with the extra white accent decals on the front calipers. Great job,SheLLz!

The inner pads were trash. Never seen rotors or pads wear like this. They all just started to make noise one day. Ordering the rears Friday when I get paid curious as to how those are. I really need to paint the calipers. Replaced the old with R1 Concepts Geomet rotors.($140ish pair) I don't drive crazy enough to get slotted or drilled, and Act pads.
