The grill is the T-Rex (available @ CarId) upper and lower grill, although, it's supposed to be the same colour as the car. Could be the weather in the North Pacific, or just bad paint, but it's definitely faded and in need of powder coating/or repaint.
I'm happy with the look, and the install was only 15 min, but long term (1+ year) I'm disappointed with the finish.

Next is rear window louvers... If I can find/get them shipped to Canada.
Getting parts shipped to Canada (especially an Island in Canada) is a PITA!! I save money installing mods myself, but it's money already spent on extra shipping. LoL
LOL!!! "Adult sodas," we call them Irish sodas. I dunno, I might think it's a good thing living on an island in BC, it forces you to get good at DIY because shipping is so expensive. Thanks for the grill info, I'm looking into that now...

I love the haters on Lambo/VDI kit. If you can afford them why not. You have the choice to open up normally or go verticle. This whats so appealing about the VDI kit. If you saw my car you wouldnt know had the VDI kit unless I wanted to raise them up.

This was by far the biggest mod I've undertaken, and for a driveway project it took a lot longer than I expected, but I'm happy with the results.

Very nice, congratulations!

Maniature,

Nice ride and paint!
Are those the MRT louvers on the rear?
I'm still deciding if and/or what type for the rear side windows.

I know the blind spot is already HUGE on the Gen5 but, how much worse is it with the louvers?

Cheers,
