Made a front lip for my car tonight. It looks pretty good. Was a little bit difficult around the corners but all in all it went well. I will post pics up tomorrow.

Got a lot of stuff done today. Went and got a new phone then went to the auto part store and got some new spark plugs. Bosch platinum 4s. Then came home installed them and did a oil change, and washed it inside and out. Over all everything is going well here are a few pics with the lip we made.

We were originally gonna use garage door trim or liner, same difference, but we had no luck finding the right stuff. So one day my friend was at a big lots I think and found this stuff I am not sure what its called but I can find out and let you know.

I also hooked up a 10 inch kicker with a 540 watt power acoustic amp. It sounds really nice for a 10 it fills the car nicely. Just thought I would mention it since I never have.

And we made the lip out of some garden trim or something that goes around the outside I guess is what its called and used for.

I was going to go pick up a 20mm front sway bar and new bushings for my car from a guy I know today, but the sway bar he got in for his car was not the right one, so that item is still in the process of being received. The sway bar is a 22mm whiteline with brand new bushings for a n/a 02-04 legacy he is letting it go for what he paid of $105 shipped I believe, if anyone is interested let me know and I can help you get in touch with him.

On a postive note I went and ordered new spark plug wires today and they should be coming in soon.
I might also be getting some retro fit foglights for my car but am still debating on how they would look. I am sure some of you know what they look like and would appreciate to hear what you think of them if you dont mind.
