Thanks man. I guess thats the price i paid for genuine. If u have to get one piece genuine. Go rear lip. Will be the hardest to fit..

Ok, So i decided to sell my replica mugen kit.. and got genuine mugen kit
Started to sand down my car and prep it for a full respray

I removed the rear wing & badge to sand it all down.


I then tapped up some sections where i might be oversanding i.e the rear tail lights,side glass & rear glass


With the help of my brother i sanded down half of the car including the roof.. i was unable to finish the other half as we need to fix up the few dents on the drivers side.
We used 1200 grit sand paper all around as iam respraying it the same color. Some people prefer to use 800 grit.. but it takes down the paint to fast.. so you can easily over sand to the primer even metal.


Genuine front bar, Grill & lights


Dummy fitted the lights and realized the wiring was way too short.. so i decided to rewire it.


HID lighting did not need to rewire as it was already long enough to fit..but the indicators and high beam needed a wire extension. Easy done, two wires twist them together and solder... you can either use duct tape to secure or heatshrink. TIP: Heatshrink will last longer.


Fitted the front bar, my left light has been plastic welded back... And its not lining up properly plus its cracked on the bottom = water can easily leak in. Need to purchase another drivers side head light..

Hmm will be the exact same as my car, mugen kit and regas..
