Installed an 04-05 STI front lip...
Also did some interior work. Wrapped all my trim pieces with some CF vinyl...
And wrapped all the pillars, rear deck, headliner, sunroof cover, and door inserts with padded black crushed velvet...

Hmm...Idk how I feel about the lip, was that a straight bolt on? The Carbon Fiber looks nice, but not feeling the headliner - ruins the whole performance oriented image I get from your car. Also, I think blacking out the horizontal bars on your grille would look good.

Yeah lip was pretty much bolt on. Just needed to drill some holes for the mounting hardware. Its not ideal but it works and was cheaper than any other front lips available for our cars, plus its poly not fiberglass.
The carbon wrap looks better in person. The headliner and whatnot that I covered does too, Much better than the tan it was.
As for the grille...no. If I wanted the center black I'd just throw on my stock grille I did that to. Although I might paint the top of the horizontal bars black and leave the faces chrome.

Oh I also changed all the lighting in my silver 99 i30t. My girl drives this one obviously. Pink LEDs in AC controls, window switches, ignition ring, ash tray, shifter, door courtesy lights, dome light and glove box. White neo-5 bulbs in gauges. And pink LED strips under the dash and flood lighting the gauge cluster.

Nothing much going on with my I30 lately. Aside from getting the computer reprogrammed at the dealer last week hoping it eliminates the P0420 code that kept popping up.

Nice I30 though with the drop and rims

I would like to know where I can get OEM mud flaps. The first photo has been Photoshopped with the grill paint and tint. Still debating whether to do those as well as the home depot / EZ lip.

I'm thinking about dropping my 02 Infiniti ^ that's on 20s. My wheels rub currently in the rear with people in the backseat.... Any suggestions on a lowering kit or even just cutting factory springs? I want to get black headlights as well...

Very nice
Deep envy of theI30 Limited steering wheel
Nice rims too.
The thing about the gen4 I30 is that it's hard to make everything "work."
For example, on your car, because it's white, the tail section looks great. Nice and tight. On my car, same as yours but dark green, my tail section looks
To make my tail section look better I have to make the mid section, all the plastic stuff and the lights, bright.
However, on dark cars like mine, and especially black cars, the chrome line really "pops." I'm talking just about the chrome line that circles the car, around the bumpers, lower door guards etc. I think the chrome lines are very well executed on the Gen4 I30.
On white cars however, the chrome lines gets a bit lost competing with the bright white. I would suggest that you paint the chrome lines metallic black on your car. Try it in photoshop and see how it looks. If you black out the grill the black lines will compliment it too. You gotta black out the infiniti logo on the trunk too, as well as the I30.
Maybe even go a bit further and give your headlights a smoked tint. Not the lens itself, but the inside. It'll give the car a more aggressive look.

SixEye very clean a32. I love it
Simply_clean I'm not feeling the wheels either, the car is so clean why not just get a nice drop and some different wheels with better fitment(18's or 19's). 20's rarely look nice or even decent on our cars.
And please no cut springs. Do it once, do it right. Lowering springs if you're on a budget, coilovers otherwise.

Thanks! It matches up ok. Sits a little too low for my taste so I'm going to try to do some work to get it to sit more even with the sides. Until then, the kit has come off for a while.

Since then I have switched directions. I've already painted the grill. I think I will keep the status quo other than a rear M3 style wing.

Finally was able to take some pics today in the sunshine. Still dirty from the rain a while back.
Done with some new retro's. JNCoRacer's mudflaps that he sold to me and some visors that I bought off of ebay:
Yes I know I still need a drop, but so many places where I think I would scrape. Already go to dents where I don't need them.

Yea^ I agree, I'm also wondering. I've heard different things of how projectors work and don't work on our cars... I'm curious if you needed to special order that headlight or did any customizations to allow to fit? I have factor xenons
