Like to do it but dunno where I start lol.. someday I will do it.

Niice job man.


Thanks Jerry! I'd say it was an 8 or 9 (10 would be too hard I needed to get someone that had actual experience) since I had no previous experience. This was probably the hardest thing I've done (rollin fenders was easier than this lol). You definitely need another pair of hands and you have to be careful when peeling the vinyl off of the initial backing it comes on cause it will crease it. I did it when it was super cold so, that probably didn't help at all. It was pretty cheap though, ordered 3m 1080 gloss black vinyl off ebay for only 48 bucks shipped 5ftx4ft. Heating and stretchin is key to getting it down smoothly. Also, around the shark fin sucked! I screwed up but you can only tell from close up lol I attached the youtube video I found the most helpful, if you decide to give it a go!

Clean , I got my 8th gen coupe back in march and have been very hesitate to go with 20s or 19s I might have to make the jump. What suspension would you recommend?

Thanks man! I went from 18s to 20s and I love it! I think you can't go wrong with either 19s or 20s, but 19s might ride a little better and possibly wont affect your mpgs as much. Honestly, I bought the cheapest coilovers I could find from ebay (function forms types 1) BUT I think if you look on the FB page you can probably find someone sellin some good coilovers used for some good deals. I'd buy some with adjustable damping to adjust the ride quality, my function forms type 1s don't have adjustable damping so the ride is a little bumpy but I don't mind it.

Finally got around to finding a shop that could install my UR under drive pulley (tried myself two different times with impact tools, but bolt wouldn't budge).
This mod is pretty nice because I actually feel a good difference. Definitely improved lower end power, car feels lighter and revs faster. Pretty spendy, but YOLO lol

Also decided to plasti dip the outer part of the stock grille. Like the look a lot, looks a little more aggressive.
