I installed my JDM Fog Light overlays and Self-tinted the Headlights which was a lot more difficult that I expected based on the contours of the 9th design...:scratches:. Anyways it is done and I will post pictures ASAP.

How are you liking the intake? Feel much different?

Zero problems. I'll be honest, I don't feel any difference until 4,500 rpm as you would expect. At 4,500-5,000 there is a very noticeable difference in sound and pull. I've also noticed a consistent 2mpg increase, which is a nice addition. Plus it looks nice. For the price, I believe $150, it's great.

Does anyone have any suggestions for mods that may well with my build so far?

If I were in your shoes, I'd go for either an Eibach Pro-Kit drop or a CT-e short shift adapter with Corsport aluminum bushings. Great build thus far! :thumbsup:

Are there any benefits of the Lamin-X overlays other than aesthetics? Do you notice any affect on light output?

Aesthetics only. They drasticically reduce light output but hey. Thanks for the suggestions as well. If I were to go with the Eiback kit, would I need new shocks and other suspension parts as well?

Custom tinted the rear. Honest opinions do you like it or not? I was on the fence myself but I can always remove the tint. I cut the tint to allow the red accent on the outsides to show.

I think it looks really good like that. Goes with the color of your paint
