Added an infinity sub.



And removed the front grill to give me an easy access to gen3 stillen intake.



Next mod would be a factory rear spoiler and leather seats.

This is the first time i've done this with the heat gun and it turned out pretty nice so it should be very easy.

Nice, it looks really clean! I'm digging it, especially that it can be easily undone.

It doesn't look that bad w/o a grill.

If done properly and as an accent, I think 3M cf wrap looks good. But sometimes it looks cheap and fake, especially up close. Great job for your first time!

I DO like them covering the blank switches! I wasn't sure what to expect when clicking on the thread and viewing the first pic but it looks really nice.

The rear came out real nice! Did you get the front bumper painted? I can notice a strip of gray around the black part.
