All you need now is some titanium tippage on that rear end

PS Justin's car sounded unreal with those K2 headers so expect the same for yours!

did i hear that someone's part out early next year might include some titanium tippage? pm me if you know haha

I don't know who you're talking about

[kiko.man]

ok so bit of an update

picked up damd side skirt and rear lip extensions from michael last week or so. because i know people are going to ask, they cost me $840 and $400 respectively (sides/rears). not cheap, but its DAMD
this shit is crazy. best fitment ive ever seen on an aftermarket part.
decided to do something different and paint them blue (And the front lip as well). they came in black obviously, blacks been done before (in fact ive never seen ones not done in black, regardless of car), so i thought hey why not try something different
taught myself to spray paint in the process, good skill to have.

will probably change them back to black once i get over it but for now im enjoying turning heads and raising eyebrows

also purchased justins K2 gear headers so will get around to having them installed in a week or two, followed by a kido tune once i progress up the waiting list /...

aaand then...NO MORE MODS! for now haha.

Good stuff on trying something different! I'm a fan as it really suits your wheels colour scheme.
Would love to see it in person one day or maybe even do a shoot of your ride

Look forward to when you get over the blue and return them to black.......

I like it, nice contrast to the matte grey
One thing I would do the rear diffuser also.
Will tie it all together even more.

Your wrap has definitely got a lot of people thinking about doing similar, including myself

cruisn leave those comments for buddah and keiran it doesnt suit you

cheers for the comments guys
yes jack photoshoot would be good, immortalise this...phase...before it changes haha

Headers are getting installed tomorrow fun times ahead
and group n engine and transmission mounts to firm everything up, will report on benefits of these for sure

swapped mufflers with starrn just to trial it out (TCP vs my magnaflow ones), sound is pretty similar, just getting a bit less drone + noise overall, and less of a bass-y tone. missing the gigantic tips though haha

kido tune to come hopefully soon after header install, am on waiting list atm for a remote tune but saw matt post a couple of days back about organising a sydney trip in just under a month so will probably hold out for that

Don't know yet haha just told Michael I want them

Hahaha that's just how it is with Michael when he called to tell my my tranny mount was effed, he said "don't worry, I ordered you an STi one, it was only a little bit more" - how could I say no?

[Corsair]

How about wrapping the DAMD gear same colour as the body work?
P.S. May I ask where you got the weathershields from?
