Default Busy mod weekend

Lots of fun stuff this weekend.

Saturday, picked up the car from Moe at Glistening Perfection. Moe had installed Huper Optik 60 tint all round, including the wind shield and xpel clear film on my newly installed GT3 front bumper.
Here's alink to a cool (pun intended) video on Moe's FB page showing the impact the tint has. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Glist...n/103167802903
Really like the subtle level of tint it provides, and hopefully it won't attract attention from local law enforcement.

Then, today I installed painted washer nozzles courtesy of Eric at Bumper Plugs. Thanks to Edgy for his DIY link. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ml#post9253100
I didn't need to pull the headlights, but followed the rest of his directions in the link.

And then, installed GT2 side skirts! Thanks to gmoney for his DIY link. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...skirt-diy.html Super easy, probably only took about 30 minutes tops.

I’m very pleased with the results. I think the side skirts go well with the GT3 front bumper. Now, what’s next, maybe a rear spoiler?

def. good mods.

From what I've read, you may want to have an extra front splitter on hand, just in case.

Awesome color, too. If you're not going with OEM Aero wing, maybe a subtle aftermarket wing will work.



Those OEM wheels make the car even better, IMO. Its not even worth spending $ on wheels, unless your addiction makes you....

I agree! These OEM wheels look great. There is no need to go aftermarket!

Looks awesome! Great job.

Sure wish I could fit those side skirts on my NB.

Damn, that's sharp... Love those wheels, too! (but then, I MAY be a bit biased...)

Superb mods. Extremely clean. WTB how many coats of wax? This thing is spotless.

Love that GT3 front bumper... have you had problems with it scraping? I have to crawl through some driveways as it is, I cringe at the thought of doing so with the GT3 bumper. Hey, shammerman, love those black fender guards. Do you have any other pics of the side? I've been debating on doing something similar with mine.
