So after some damage to my car i'm refreshing its look. You can check out how it looked before as i'm not turning this into a journal for now but rather a quick build. So I just got it back from the bodyshop where they fixed a few problems I had and installed a new Kersher front bumper.

Nevermind my dirt lawn, recently moved in and landscaping is coming

Here's the parts which are blackline taillights, cf lip for bumper, new diffusor, and some new air filters:

Info on HKS filters? Sizing?

Heard those are not as good for "daily driving" as they don't filter out dirt as effectively????

Great looking car ! In addition I like your interior

I would advise you to change your exhaust for a bigger one, that would do a more aggressive rear !
