Nice!

I'm putting on the OEM sport lip this weekend so it should finish up my front end.

Very cool. The Sport lip will definitely give the front end a more aggressive look. Just make sure you properly prep the surface before installing the lip. I highly suggest cleaning the surface with something like Wurth Clean Solve and also use 3M Adhesion Promoter to the mating surface for the 3M tape before securing the lip. This will give you the best bond possible. 2 or 3 packs of the Adhesion Promoter should be enough for the front lip, but here are Amazon links for both the 3 pack and the 5 pack. Good luck with the install!

Pretty bad picture but swapped my old depot tail lights with new ones lol. The old ones had chrome inner housings around the lights, the new ones are all black. Look almost identical from the back, but from the side its a big upgrade for me.

I think those compliment your car much more than the previous tail lights. In my opinion, the previous pair was too '90's' while these have a more modern look.

Not quite sure if this is the place to post but got rear ended today. The area in the spare wheel area looks like a crumpled soda can on one side. Is this repairable or will it get totaled? It was a pretty hard smack. 2012 sedan with 85K miles.

While trunk


Crumpled up pretty good.

Yeah it's probably totaled due to that crumple damage. that sucks. I'd be very surprised if they fix it.

I guess the good news is I’ve already seen a lot of 50K mile g sedans for sale in the 11-12K range on Craigslist/autotrader. Stock unmolested ones mostly one owner too.

Make sure you do the idle relearn, accelerator pedal released position learning, and the throttle valve closed position learning. Check out Motivate DIY on YouTube if unsure how. I think the video is called after throttle body cleaning or something along those lines.

All good! Wierdly, idle was completely unchanged without the relearn. But I ran the whole process anyway.
His much less publicized video shows an idle relearn that uses the NDSIII android app and Bluetooth odb2 kicks the pedal dance's butt.

Awesome, just making sure lol. A lot of people for they about this step and then have issues. Yeah I use NDSIII as well. Also use it for my tire pressure monitoring with PSI for each wheel. Amazing how much data our cars produce that is just hidden.
