Nothing new with the car lately. Just some quick photos in this west coast smoke we've been getting.

Beautiful build and great shots as always.

Something I’ve been meaning to ask you, how are the DDE guys in person?

Thanks! They're pretty chill in person. Alot of the time it's just them setting up the shot, and redoing it until it feels natural.

Mugen grill garnish installed. As with all the other Mugen parts, the colour match was on point. It does require you to drill two holes into the fog light cover, but Mugen provides a guide on where to drill. Removing the factory fog light cover was fairly easy thanks to a tutorial another member posted on the forum. Took some quick phone photos of the complete front end.

Just red(sic) the whole thread, love your work. ?

The front garnish pieces really complete the Mugen front end, and you're lucky that you can add on that grill piece without having to paint it!

Yea, I've been pretty lucky that I haven't had to spend money on paint work except for the Varis trim piece.

Took the wing off for fun to see what it would look like. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that bad.

Mugen FRP wing painted and installed with tiburnt titanium hardware.

Absolutely stunning!

While I’m not really a fan of the Mugen pieces offered for the FK8, that OEM paint scheme on the wing is beautiful.

Thanks! Yea, it's a hit or miss when it's or two of the pieces but as a whole I think it flows pretty well.

More quick phone photos for now

Love the paintmatch on the FRP wing, works so much cleaner. Where did you order yours from?
