Well, installed the lip, installed the grill. That grill took so much work to get to even look that good and it's still not perfect. I'm just test fitting in the pic, I'll try and get it on today but I'm loosing steam and the damn fender to top bumper bracket thingy bolts are spinning freely. Now I need to get some super glue and hope it holds them.

The ride is pretty good, it only starts to get annoying on really bad roads. But i've had these in for like 3 years now and I still like it.
Exhaust setup:
Kinetix HFC > stock midpipe with 12" vibrants welded in place > tanabe axleback
Ah, interesting! I was planning on installing my FI RHFC to complement my tanabe axleback in a few weeks. I have vibrant resonators that I initially planned to use but then I changed my mind after recently purchasing the HFC because I didn't want things to be too loud. I know it's all subjective, but how do you find the noise level with your current setup, like on a scale of "Honda with a hole in the exhaust" to "BMW M3 at full throttle"? Thanks again for the response(s)!
EDIT: just saw your post above that you aren't happy with how loud things are. Hmm.

same crap happened to me... I super glued it and it broke again. I'd use something stronger like jb weld
I tried gorilla glue and it completely didn't work. JB weld it is! Thanks for the advice hope it works. I almost got the bumper stuck on (but not completely) with the gorilla attempt. Do you guys recall which length screws went in these?
Been slowly working on these, was bored and primed them but I wanna wait until tires are mounted to minimize damage to the paint. Thinking a nice bronze will look great against the blue slate. 🤔
Bled my brakes. Went over each caliper in order twice since the system was pretty much EMPTY. I'm so close to having this thing finished with my stage 1, I can almost taste it now. Bumper on too.
Made an appointment and put down a deposit for EcuTek tuning at R/T for May 10th.
RT in PA, right? I'd like to read that review. If you post something in the tech forum, be sure to follow up here so people can be reminded and find it. (And by people, I mean me, LOL)

Past weekend put my summer tires back on, bled the brakes. Motive power bleeder device still working after 8 years!
Used a slightly different technique for bleeding. 12Oz empty water bottle with a + cut into the cap to hold the tubing. Let it fill up about an inch then drain. Color was deep yellow pee like (morning p!ss ). Drained that, let it fill up another 1/2" or so. Now it was light yellow/almost clear, same color as what I poured into the motive container. This made it real easy to tell when the old fluid was purged from the system. Each caliper has 2 bleeders on it. Started with the outer, then finished off with the inner. Used about 1 3/4 32oz bottles. Still had some left. Didn't have to top off the master at all as it was at the right level already when done.
