car looks good..

I got the bumper trim from Auto Speed Performance - http://www.autospeedperformance.com/Default.htm

The tint is illegal on the two front windows, but only a picky anal bike cop here would cite a fix-it ticket for it. Same with the front license plate, it's supposed to be there, but there's bigger fish to fry in Vegas. I've been pulled over 3 times since purchase and haven't had an issue with the tint yet. At night, sometimes I wish I had gone a little lighter, because the visibility is so low, it's dangerous.

Thanks everyone!

BUMP! love the bumper trim

btw r u using oem hangers with g200

and how much did u drop?

Marcus · 10-29-2006, 07:20 PM

I had the Kartboy XL hardened hangers on with the G200 at first, and it dropped it too low, there was a big gap between the tip and the bumper. So I changed two of them back to stock size (the ones that hold the muffler) and it looks better now and it still doesn't touch the rear diffuser. I think the G200 will clear the rear diffuser even with stock hangers.

The drop is minimal, I think 30mm F&R. So far after 1 week on the Swifts I wish the drop on the front was a tad lower, and the ride quality is just a tad bumpier than stock.

Beautiful day outside today in Las Vegas, so I decided to give the STi a good clean up job and take some pics. Added V-Limited lip and DIY rubber underskirt...

Thanks! Luckily I haven't scraped up against anything with the lip nor the rubber, but it's a $20 DIY mod that could potentially save a scrape or crack from the $400 V-Limited so I had to do it.

I used lokutus1's thread as a guide, very simple, looks good too =]

Love the lip, nice choice.
