hey all!
just another guy with a sedan around the north york area. been lurking around here and the other forum, figured i start participating a little more haha. 2005 sedan, with the GT ground effect kit. running on CR-Kais. nothing too drastic, keeping it clean. was thinking of wrapping my roof and the "wing" part of my grille with black CF (my coworker has a side job for this) but im still on the fence about it. just passed 120,000 mark, and im loving it more and more - minus that intermittent rough idle, but ive grown used to it after two years.

yeah, so odd, hopefully these links work:
that GT lip ended up not fitting =( it seems to be too long/wide for the i-model. its a shame! im selling it if anyone is interested!
most of the pics are iphone shots (minus the first post), so sorry for the heavily edited images haha

my spring update. finally out of winter mode, and yes, my new lip survived the winter! i thought id show everyone a quick progression to how mine has changed over the two years. recoloured my CR-Kais to a much darker bronze (didnt really enjoy the goldish-bronze), thanks to Quy. recently installed the side skirt extensions. dont know about you guys, but it looks a lot more aggressive, i love it!

so i finally got my roof wrapped, wanted to show everyone. my friend at ReStyleIt did a great job a it, i highly recommend them. from what ive seen compared to their competitors, they make sure everything is deeply tucked-in (no hesitation in taking off body parts & trim). ive seen cuts/incisions made when people do harder jobs like mirrors. those really take away from the look it's supposed to make, not to mention the dirt that can eventually dig its way in there, potentially creating a peel. thanks for lookin'!

So you're the guy I saw there on Friday evening! Nice wraps! I was tempted to go for that carbon vinyl as well. I was the CWP MS3 just leaving. I agree, Andrei and his team seem to be detail oriented. I might be visiting him tomorrow evening again.
