Yes, it goes on the front bumper. I'll have my regular plate on there but use the white one at car shows.

[DFish]

Black or gold for the IQ lettering?

I'm just going to leave it solid white for shows. It makes the front end flow more smoothly in appearance (imo).

[master-yoda]

great job, i'm very impatient for result !!!

[surfcitylocal]

The body kit parts have made it home from the paint shop. They will be hanging out in the guest bedroom until I get the iQ back from AirRunner this weekend.

You will and it will look awesome!

Stopped by AirRunner today to check on the iQ. They have made a lot of progress. The struts and rear bags are installed. The air lines are run and they will be installing the paddles and gauges tomorrow. Should be ready to pick up on Saturday or Sunday! Shin and Osam Okamoto do some amazing work there at AirRunner.

Working on the paddles and air lines...

The compressor and tank...

Osam and Shin Okamoto, the brains and muscle behind AirRunner Inc...

Truly amazing Taz.

Taz, either that tank is pretty slim or massive for the job it needs to do. This is going by other systems I've seen in the past for larger cars.

It's a four gallon tank. Here is another angle...

My plans for the iQ don't include a rear seat so we didn't have to worry about sinking the tank below the level of the bottom of the seat or place it under the car.

Here is the five gallon set up I had in my xB, much larger tank...
