ok, time to spill it.

The GV lip needs to be painted, looks wierd paired up with the sideskirts, if it were a darker car, you would get away with it.

Oh, when you get the rear pods, I have dibs on your mudflaps :D

Rear pods are here! just test fitted them to the car..looks like they will be close to the same height as the OEM skideskirts. Just gotta paint them up over the weekend and fit. I should get the Torsen2 installed soon also :P

I'll be honest and say that I'm not such a fan of the rear pods. Well done on the DIY bit though :)
