Nothing better to do during quarantine than to just keep taking photos.

Crazy times, obviously. And I hope you (and everyone here) is doing okay..

Nothing has really changed with the car in a while now. Pretty content with how it is these days although I'm still debating whether or not to just buy the Mugen rear lip to complete the kit. Sometimes I really like the look but then I'll see another photo of it where it looks too over the top. So I'm still holding off until I'm sure it's the right purchase. Other than that, I took some photos after work even though the weather has been horrible lately in Vancouver.

Found a deal on a brand new set of Chasing J's titanium lug nuts on the FB group. I think they look great against the formula silver finish of the wheels.

Hahaha you bought those Chasing J’s lugnuts right before I had a chance to send the money ? at least they went to a good home. Lol

Took some photos with some close friends. It's nice to see and compare the EVS Tuning, Varis, and Mugen lips in person but of course we all love TE37's.

Well I finally jumped on board with the Mugen rear lip after almost a year of going back and forth on whether I liked it or not. It’s definitely not for everyone, and I’m perfectly okay with that fact. I weighed all the other options from the major brands (Spoon, Varis, and Blitz) and nothing flowed with the rest of the kit like the Mugen rear lip does. Overall, I’m really happy with how it all turned out.

The install was fairly straight forward even though the instructions were in Japanese. With a help of a good friend, we knocked it out in under 2 hours. Since the rear lip has a total of 5 pieces, we wanted to take our time to make sure everything lined up perfectly. Fitment wise, its about a 8.5-9/10. It's not a perfect 10/10 like the front lip and side skirts.

Here are a bunch of phone photos during the install and afterwards. Will try to get proper photos soon.

Looked better before, lol just can’t get used to the rear!

Yea, I hear you. It took me almost a year to decide if I liked it or not. After installing it and seeing it person, I’m happy I went with it.
