I spy a mold!
Your car is looking great, I just got my order in last week for my toms diffuser so in 8 weeks it'll be here!
Try WD40 if goo-gone doesn't finish the job.

19x8.5 22 offset 245/35/19
19x10 30 offset 275/30/19.

either going to throw on a 10mm spacer in the back or upsize tires to 285/30/19

lol, yessir. Good friend of mine is a composite major and he has the skills to make a design that is a bit more aggressive than toms and less aggressive than wald and price it for the bargin shopper since a lot of these diffusers are overpriced.

i got the adhesive off wtih the goo gone. was too scared to use goof off. took awhile but it's done. its worth the wait, pics dont do justice, looks good in person, very aggressive and clean

thanks man. i was just talking about that tonight. i think it's cheaper over in japan as well since shipping can't be cheap. sucks but oh well. hope you are having a good time in Japan. i wish i could get a list of things that you can get for the F with prices. i dont think i'll ever have the chance again having a person over in japan that can get parts.

something more aggressive than toms but less aggressive than wald. He is trying to make a good mold right now. this is the same way akrym and them do as well. hopefully i can update you guys with that and become a vendor if everything goes well.

ive been getting ready for my coilover install. i put antiseize on the threads of the coilovers. this is very important if you dont want them to seize. if they do, it is not fun and you will scratch up all of your coils if it does break free.

i set preload on all of them to 4mm. put a coat of optiseal on them to prevent rust and keeping them looking new.

one thing i didnt like about the rear extenders is that people are just slicing a slit in the rear and sticking them through. here is an example, its not my car...





Im kind of picky and that is not clean at all. looks very out of place. i went to the hardware store to pick up a few things.

two caps with ridges so it can be super glued to the fabric and stay put. then two rubber grommets to go in the middle.




the rubber grommet has a ridge ring in the middle to fit very snuggly and not move.



tools ready to put a hole in the plastic cap




here it is after i drilled it out ready to put the grommet in.




now you can stick the grommet snuggly in the middle




this is with the extender in there




this is just a example, i put a hole through a card board box just to show you guys how it would fit against the rear carpet pieces





and if you ever take these out and sell the car, you can plug up the whole with the same cap that isn't drilled and it will look symmetrical and oem and no one would notice.

yep, 2x2 twill instead of 1x1 like toms. i know to some people, this is very important if they want all of their carbon fiber matching weave patterns. We basically want a close to perfect fitment, priced well under the other ones for sale and even putting a high quality coat of clear on it where the buyer doesn't need to ..to battle yellowing and fading.
