Beautiful design. Hit up Scott Velgen on Facebook. The order process was too easy. He sized tires for me also.

Having slight issues here or there. The apexi mid pipe is hitting something under the car and creating terrible sounds and vibrations. Gotta get the car back on the lift. The lowness is beautiful. I'm scared to install the cf front lip it won't have a long life.

Tried to install the cusco front strut brace. Did not seem to fit. Have to try again but it may be the wrong part.

The tires need to be balanced a second time now that I've driven a bit and I'm in talk with RR racing about a BBK. Fingers crossed I can make this happen asap.

that’s weird mine made no noise at all. What Axleback do you have. Check all the hangers on the Axleback. Especially the ones by the mufflers. Those always seem to be the culprit. What lip did you get?

​​It's a lip from eBay. Looks a bit like trd I think.

I have the fsport axle back. I'm thinking a hanger must be off also maybe the shop didn't push it all the way in. Getting it on a lift asap.

I’m positive it the hangers on the car hitting you fsport axleback. Specifically on the muffler itself. I’ve seen it somewhere else on here. As far as being to low for the lip. I wouldn’t worry. The lip I have is a fist off the ground. Lol.

Was planning on all 4 corners. Didn't know about a delay I'll have to hit them up.

I have a couple more items to be hydro dipped, and I need to wrap the center console in brushed metal vinyl. Then I'll have some legit photos taken of the interior.

Loving the new steering wheel, the flat bottom helps with getting in and out if the car and it looks so damn sexy.

Indeed. White car with all carbon fiber accents. Red interior with carbon fiber accents and some black brushed metal accents. It all compliments and comes together nicely. If I starting doing hood and trunk also it would probably be too much. If I was to do a hood I'd go with seibon and paint it white laving only the hood vents carbon.
