  1. I've had this particular style of LED rear bumper lamps installed for the last 3-years, but after noticing that one of them had moisture inside the lens I decided to swap them out for new ones - And to my surprise, they now do one with a sequential indicator instead of a normal flashing one, so they're even better than before! Here's the video I uploaded to YouTube earlier: https://youtu.be/ty8JQPmolFA
  2. Well guys, it's been almost 2-years since I sold the Aurion, and I'm pleased to say that I bought it back a couple of weeks ago from the same person I sold it to. When I originally sold the Aurion it was a regretful sale, but we were buying our first home and the difference between our offer on the house and what the seller was willing to accept was about the cost of the car, so sadly it had to go. I've wanted it back ever since, so when the opportunity arose to buy it back I decided to take it. She still looks the same as the day I sold her, albeit with a few more km's and stone chips here and there, but for the most part she's exactly as I remember. I also have a Lexus IS350 which I take turns driving to work on alternate days, but they both share the garage together and it's a nice feeling to have the old girl back again.
  3. Can you still find a front and rear bumper for a ae92 wagon?Thanks in advance

  4. Well, it's been a week so far and the splitter is still there, without any real damage. I've scraped it on a bunch of entrances etc, despite being extremely careful and taking extreme angles wherever possible, but so far so good. The goal of making it to at least a month could well be achievable, but time will tell ;) Obligatory victory shot:
  5. Thanks Trev :y: Washed it and then chucked this front splitter on today. I bought it from the US 7-months ago, and it has sat in the garage while I've been deciding whether to put it on as the front bumper already scrapes on a daily basis. I decided to throw caution to the wind however and this is the result. The EZ Lip I had already fitted is still there (except now sits flat), which provides a decent contrast between the bumper and splitter. I can't see this thing lasting more than a month before getting destroyed by a driveway or speed bump to be honest, but it beats sitting there collecting dust.
  6. I hear ya'. I originally had a black EZ Lip on when I bought the car and that lasted almost a year before I decided to pull it off and install the carbon fiber type lip, but even that was fine until I decided to drop the front end another 20mm a couple of months ago, and that's when the problems began. Carbon lip ripped straight off upon reentering the driveway, and that was with double-sided tape and a series of screws all along the bottom (the screws ripped straight out from the bumper). This new silver EZ Lip is also held on with screws too and is holding in there remarkably well. Despite the split in the foam where it meets the double sided tape it hasn't got any worse, so I'm hoping that it will just keep rubbing in the same spot and never fully actually tear right through, because they're a right bastard to take off due to that 3M VHB tape and the rub-on adhesion promoter it comes with :laff:
