Looks great! Whats it like getting out of the car? Does it come with any hardware to secure it to the car or only 3m tape?

It does have some hardware (mainly self tapping screws), but i went out of the way and did it properly with rivet nuts vs self tapping screws, along with the 3m tape and adhesion promoter for the tape.

Finished the install of the last pieces of the sayber designs kit, the rear spats. Again, sorry for the lack of light, ill take some more pictures tomorrow.

Better pics of the rear spats. Installation for these wasnt as straightforward as the side skirts. The spats include 5 small holes which i was assuming would mean using 5 self tapping screws and some double sided tape. Problem is, there are 3 push clips in the way which would prevent the spat from lying flush with the bottom of the rear bumper where you would attach it.
Of those 3 push clips, only the outer most one "lines" up with one of the 5 predrilled holes, but the predrilled holes are much smaller than the hole that the push tab goes into. So I had to drill out that hole larger to be able to accept the push tab, along with drilling 2 additional larger holes for the other 2 push tabs. So in a nutshell, I installed the spats using 3 push clips (which were already there) and 4 self tapping screws along with double sided tape and ahesion promoter for the double sided tape. Kinda hard to explain, so ill post pics later today when i get back under the rear bumper to install the Verus rear diffuser.

Installed the Forge motorsports CAI setup with inlet scoop along with all the rest of the carbon fiber engine accessories...😍
Will report back my impressions after i drive around for a bit.
I was a bit nervous trimming the carbon radiator cooling panel in krder to fit the Forge snorkel. Luckily i trimmed the stock plastic one first to use as a template. Came out pretty decent.

I’m just about sold on the forge intake. Let us know if any rogue PCV codes? I think that’s the least invasive one keeping the stock box anyway.

knee surgery tomorrow and fingers crossed, I get to pick mine up this week.

Ive driven it probably about 100 miles with the intake on and no CEL's yet. Gonna drive it to and from work all this week just to see if it triggers the CEL. Keeping my 🤞🏼

Super cute.

I think the sayber kit is my favorite so far, but we dont have a lot of options actually on customer cars at this point

Just an update regarding the forge Motorsports intake setup. I have driven about 150 miles with the CAI setup and have not experienced any CEL's. Ive taken it to and from work the past 2 weeks, including going WOT to 7k+ a few times on the way and way back from work every day. I am not running any of the "CEL fixes" that have been released.
I can only speak of my experience with the intake and not throwing a CEL, I cant speak on anyone else's experience.

Sounds promising. Thank you.

Just received my gloss twill carbon replacement CE spoiler blade. Probably will hold off on installing it until after the new year holidays. Gonna order another spray can of HM paint to paint match the spoiler ends.

Finally got around to installing the Tom's kick panel protectors. Pleasantly surprised how well the Tom's red stitching matches the factory red stitching....

Looks great. I just my tracking number for the kick panels via Black Hawk Japan a couple of days ago. Any issues with the install? Issues like air bubbles.

Nah, install was easy. There are included instructions, but they are in Japanese. I literally just cleaned the panel, peeled the adhesive strip off the back of the panels (this is kind of a PITA), eyeballed it, amd slapped them on. Air bubbles are easy to get out fortunately.

Just got the car dyno'd in AWD (yes yes I know its not the "correct" way....blah blah)
Outside temp was 58° and hood closed (shop figured due to the ambient temp, wouldnt have made much of a difference, I disagree, but anyways)
After the first run, engine heatsoaked bad as evident by the loss of power on the second run. Let the car cool down and threw a fan in front. Third and final pull put down the best numbers at 254whp and 278ft lbs TQ.
