The fitment is great, the gaps are alittle bigger than the stock trunk, but not too noticible. I can send you pics of gaps. If you're really interested PM me.

Yeah, I really want JDM 7 or MR taillights and blacked out headlights, and they will come with time.

I think the carbon fiber trunk is about 10lbs lighter than the stock one. Don't quote me on this, but all I know is that I can pick up the whole carbon fiber trunk with one hand and it's almost weightless!

I was looking at that as "veedubonhubs", but I ended up getting coilovers instead, nice buy!

by "veedubonhubs" are you referring to RSW? I actually talked the guy selling it and he cut me a deal for $425 cash. I had to do it, too good of a deal to pass up! and it matches my carbon fiber hood.

yeah, I've been thinking about a carbon fiber lip too, but with my springs, my car only sets ~5in from the ground, so IDK...but it's a Seibon trunk (matches my hood)

Actually I have two sets of stock rims. The other ones were spraypainted black, but I'm sanding them down to have them powdercoated (low temperature). I'll post more pics once I get the black ones back on...

trunk looks good, but i am curious about that hood. is that carbon fiber that you painted the sides of? or is it vinyl overlays?

either way, car looks sharp.

yeah, it's a FULL carbon fiber hood (Seibon) and I had a local body shop paint the sides like that. It's NOT vinyl, it's real color coded blue by you paint. Here's another pic
