Some neat stuff in this thread. I like the Cf rear window intakes and the rear corner window intakes. Not very obtrusive.

I'm an old fvck who grew up in the 90's with body kits and neon lights, so I like all this stuff. Wide body kits, big wings. Oh yeah.

Speaking of upgrades, I am actually changing the rest of the lighting in my garage to LED spotlights.

Not really a body kit. But a Lambo garage kit. Just an update.

This is the other side.

This is the Lambo side (changed to led few years ago):

You can see the old marks and holes where the fluorescent light units were. These marks and holes will be fixed. The paint job has been scheduled next week around Christmas. Looks like people here work on Christmas...

Very nice, it looks good. Are the ceiling tiles removable?

Looks like people here work on Christmas... I work during the Christmas holidays and summer vacation. I haven't taken a vacation in 8 years, when 98% of the competitors are closed for a total of 4 weeks out of the year I work.

One guy would chuckle maybe even think I was struggling because I would work while they relaxed with their 2 weeks off (2 winter, 2 summer). I told him I had an objective, I never told him what it was. ;)

The ceiling tiles are fixed so the electricians had to go up and drilled a hole. I saw their electric hole driller machine with dust cap that can cut a nice hole in like 10 secs. Pretty cool.

I think you would fit very well if you happen to move here. The Japanese are workaholics :)

Seriously I think it is honorable to work hard especially when the body is able. Many young people fail to see this until it is too late. Always party and play with no plan, c'est lavie or whatever until it's too late.

The painter did a good job matching the paint, and the old marks are no longer visible. However, the patched holes from the previous work are still noticeable. I believe they initially said they would fix those as well, but after the job was done, they told me it was not possible because the holes had been filled with rubber putty. The only way to fix was replacing the whole panels.

I am not overly satisfied, but I figured it is probably just my OCD. I don't think anybody else but me would look up as the lights are pretty bright. Maybe this is a sign to start another project, like drilling out the patches and installing ceiling speakers :p

Speakers are a great idea, playing violin through the speakers to the car to make it faster! :p

Like they said the holes in the ceiling will always show unless you replace them.

I found an orange H with stripped diffusers, it gives an idea what it would look like. I would however put them lighter to match the paint and wider stripes. I think it need the upper portion done as well. I edited pictures 3&4.

It might be easier if an image of the product is posted instead of links. Alibaba bots have been probing this forum very aggressively, so I have had to block them more times than I can count. I think the bots believe they have found a jackpot here :)

@Rampante21 Be careful most of these Aliexpress kits do not actually fit and the thought of removing your actual parts trying to put those on cursing, getting angry while scratching the original paint is a stern warning.

This shop put one of those kits on, maybe from a real supplier? Check out Part 1and 2

The last one is exactly like those rusted out ricers that buy fake stick on carbon fibre.

All you need to do is tape them to the fenders. I wonder if I painted them orange if it would look good? It sure is RICE though but if you won't regret cutting the fender if you want them out.. These are official louvers from Lambo.

Not sure about this kit, it makes the car so low to the ground it's going to scrape everywhere.

@Sakura @Rampante21 @6102Perf What do you guys think of the stick on louvers/fender vents above?

To me it looks a little bit "gimmicky" in black on the green car maybe if was paint matched it would look better?

If it is a batarang with quick detach, I'm all for it. Otherwise it is too sushi in my opinion. It goes beyond rice :)

On a second thought, a black car may get away with it as it is less conspicuous. May work on @6102Perf perf.
