Hrm...Chris at work...*GRIN* time to find Chris's crib! Bwahahaha!
So I got many parts in this past month. Headlights, DG lip, clear protective film, and side skirts. My CC is hurting right now, don't worry.
DG lip came in a bag all wrapped up. I left it out over night and it was nice in the morning. VERY flexible vs the AutoExe lip is hard plastic. I think this DG lip will last a lot longer than my AutoExe lip. Fitment is great, I just slapped it on briefly today.
Yes, the film is clear! Not yellow, blue, smoke, etc etc. It is about as thick as a dime or quarter. Hard to put on for me (1 person) and I made some mistakes, but over all, I am happy. The headlights were bought used but in fairly great condition. It has some pitting, but it is way better than the ones I had before. I had tons of fall-out and some of the tabs were broken from a prior accident. I also had some for my fog lights and installed them.
The side skirts are Mazdaspeed A-Spec replicas made by corksport. The real deal is $600+ haha. I called corksport over and over again but had no response on these sides. I have only seen one white p5 with it and I posted it a few pages back. Hope it turns out nice!
Here you guys go:

Sorry Vic, nothing fancy!! I originally wanted to cut a hole in the driver side light to make an air duct and put the CF headlight covers over it for shows... I might do that with the spare headlights I have now though 
We shall see. I can't wait to see what you have!

I went from black to chrome on my midnight blue p5.
Did my brakes today and was it a b****!
Those rotors were rusted on and needed serious pounding. Didn't get time for the lines yet though.
I wanted to do this as quick as possible, so not many pictures were taken. My KSports all blew out so under my car was SOAKED with oil and mud...
This car is costing me too much fucken money.

wait, why are your shocks blown? that's serious bull s*** unless you abused the hell out of them or drove 100k+ miles on them.
The whole "This car is costing me too much fucken money"
I totally feel your pain!! Know your limits is all I can say! I have way over exceeded mine and keep going!
I could have purchased an evo with Cash with the $ in my car
Love your car as always, Just a heads up and dont go too far like I have (Me sitting with apx 6,000$ in parts around my car and more in the mail!!)

LoL! I know how much you have poured into your car. I have seen it in many many stages since the beginning. I love your garage though, it is filled with goodies. I guess it is worth it with all of those dang trophies in your house and garage! The build is coming along nice though, can't wait to see it all finished and ready to go!
