It's me ^^
Left side is very good, almost perfect. But right was a pain ... On the straight, the rubber on the trim came loose ... Was affraid to do a mess with glue so decided to cut it. On the back door, pretty good so just one or two very little bubbles, but on the front door, rubber came loose just on half of the straight ... So at one point you clearly see the height difference.
What else ? Nothing crazy like you haha.
Soon, just more gloss black (fog light cover, lower front grill), Novel style fenders I've ordered few days ago ... Just have to paint them in gloss black too, already have Tom's style rear diffuser (still in gloss black), Wald style trunk spoiler and roof spoiler (match painted).
Later, H&R 15mm spacers front and rear, front lip (but still don't know which one, love the Tom's but I want to paint it gloss black ... So FRP or Urethane one will be better, we'll see), paint calipers in orange with black emblem or blue F like RCF / GSF, and probably coilovers

Awesome build, and beautiful colour just like mine ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Those welds do look lovely.
For brake pads the Project Mu pads are amazing compared to the OEM ones. Now I'm not sure how they'll do on track days after several laps but they do bite down much better than OEM and slightly less brake dust.
I've had the 400 and 800 series and both are great pads. I'd recommend you look into the Figs 2-piece rotors as well, they are pricey but worth the money.

Glad to hear your feedback about Project Mu pads, thanks ! I have a brand new set of OEM front pads in the box, but after them, I'll go with the Project Mu 800. Good to know for the Figs 2-piece rotors, don't planned to buy them but will keep it in mind, must be a very good brake set-up this combo

Looks good! Nice and clean mods so far. How are the spacers? Any issues with rubbing with the factory suspension? I was going to get 15mm all around but concerned the rear might rub without a roll/pull with being lowered...

Good to know. It is lowered but not too much. I've seen other guys lowered with spacers on but didn't see if they had the fenders rolled at all...something i'd like to avoid doing.

If it's slightly lowered and your setup stiffer than stock, I'm tempted to think it will be ok with 15mm spacers

Yesterday was trackday time ! On a little track not far from home.
Brembo front pads died, they had 50% left (they were brand new before Spa Francorchamps 3 weeks ago) but after every session you could see them be thinner and thinner, first time I see that !
Here is the last session
