    Great! Anyway.. you may wanna do a double take on the kumoi motors body kit that you posted earlier. May not be LTA approved because of the crash bars on the bumper.. I'm not sure whether those are considered crash bars... haha

    My air filter arrived but I've not installed it yet.. Waiting for my next servicing next month to install it. Waiting for a couple more parts too.. Hopefully can install all at one go..

    went to a local workshop to fix on warm lights in the footwell... hoping the interior cabin would look bigger than it is... :)

    Sounds like a plan! However.. it will probably be either late Dec when I come back from holiday or next year when my other parts arrive. I ordered the intercooler kit and intercooler piping and a set of gram lights rims..

    Your leg lights look great.. I was contemplating putting red lights until my gf said it might be inauspicious... haha...

    Anyway.. i just remembered that last time i went to Exotic werks.. they had a catalogue for the body kit you wanted. However, they don't have the kit. the catalogue was put there by another supplier to extend his reach to customers..

    Nice. Post some pictures of it being fitted. Thought some bumper tweaking was required?

    now that's impressive!
    one thing I don't have on mine is the leather seats - I have the vivid with heated fabric ones.
    a breaker's yard was recently selling two red leather ones plus door card and I was very tempted but decided that taking out the seats might be a big job.

    Nice choice of colour, works really well. Like the re-trim on the visors too.

    Thanks Adam! Glad it came together well. Had to think twice about the visors initially... it was another S$250 for them. :(
