Yeah full kit with cleaning solution and installation tools... I'd rather have installed a hard kit instead of a ppf style one, but... Alas there's no option available but the xpel one.

Yeah, I paid $1,100 for full front end, full hood, mirrors, and a rear bumper application to protect the shelf. And this was at a professional shop with a 10 year 3M warranty.

However, that interior kit does look really good. I'm jealous!

Yes PPF is not cheap at good shops. $7k for full PPF and ceramic up here.

I can't even wrap my head around that. Here in Ohio, I paid $1500 for paint correction, ceramic coat, and PPF, including full front end, halfway up the hood, including fenders, headlights, bumper, and mirror caps, side skirts outside both front doors, and rear fender flares. I realize it's $cdn, but still...

I would have paid similar amount here. It’s not that different other than exchange basically.

Installed the RacerX rear engine mount this morning, have her a good drive for some groceries and am pretty happy with the results !
A little bit of NVH at lower RPM, but not too bad, and it'll probably settle after break in.
I went for the 70A bushings, will probably keep the 60A ones in the parts box ! :D

Well I finally got some tools and got around to installing the KW coilovers I bought like 2 months ago. Figured I would try to install them myself with some video guidance versus paying a shop to do it. Started at the rear and got everything installed after a bit of trial and error. The only thing did I didn't do yet was install the camber bolts I bought yet because I wasn't sure the best way to do it. I'm going to see if the shop I take it to for an alignment could do it for me. So my rear camber will be a bit much for a little bit.

Rear installed:

Then I went to do the front coils and had a nice surprise waiting for me. I didn't realize that Toyota puts a little protective cover over the end link nut that's mounted on the strut. I also live in New England and have driven this car through two Winters with salt and dirt. All that little cover did was hold on to the salt and rust together the nut and bolt. What a terrible decision by Toyota. This car is only 2 years old!

Guess who just ordered some Whiteline adjustable end links with express delivery? This guy.

Hopefully they should arrive tomorrow.

Sure makes me happy that I live in WA State, they don't use any of that crap where I live and mine look brand new still with 19k miles. I didn't think much about the caps since they just popped right off for me.

Ah this was the deal on reddit eh? Yeah I wanted to scoop them but wasn't ready to jump into a different suspension setup at the time. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them after you've driven them for a bit because its KW or bust for me for aftermarket suspension.

Why not Annex suspension? They have done an amazing job designing a fantastic coilover for the GRC.

I wrapped mine for $10 of vinyl from Amazon, it looks great and it was my first time wrapping anything.

You need to share some pics and more info on these JDM parts you installed.

have been accumulating for a while as I was waiting for the right CGR, Delta X brace on the left (watched your video Jim and it sold me lol) - most looking forward to the spoiler/morizo wiper delete etc next.
