Cool Finally! My X's before & after mod

First of all I would like to thank BIMSHIRE, Rayxi, and asawadude, as well as many people from the forum for helping me out ! Thanks for the patients for answering qs and giving suggestions .
This forum is amazing ! Just by saying that I need to become premium member !


Mods:
1. Painted bumper, air vent, grille, door handle, trunk lid (CAD $900 for all except for air vent&grille they are $75)
2. Clear taillight, clear signal light
3. Custom exhaust tips (for now..)
4. 22'' Breyton Spirit replicas wiz Toyo (various aftermarket names for the style)(USD $1699 plus $250 shipping, $89 brokerage) They fool the custom to say its display only wheels for $300 value. ^^
5. AC pedals.
6. Removed hitch, replace bumper inserts.

Upcoming Mods:
1. Clear headlamps, AE
2. Chrome rings
3. Remus exhaust system
4. New Brake kit (Dunno if I need it yet)
5. Endless ideas yet to come.

Please feel free to comment

The followings are some photos to share and enjoy.

Wow, you've been busy! Your X looks terrific! Good choice not going with those chrome wheels.

What did it cost you to paint the black trim?

What is this mod?

Consider bumping up new brake pads on your to-do list or you're going to hate cleaning those wheels this summer.

Looks great! What a difference!

I believe the "hinges" mean that you got your door handles and hatch handle painted body colour?

What a transition! Looks absolutely great! The big round exhaust tips look nice; it's a change from the Ractive ovals that we've been seeing lately. Good choice of wheels also.

Excellent job!!! What a transformation! I especially like the new look from the back. Can't wait to see what it when you clear the headlights. Again, very nice looking after all the mods.
