I plan to do some track time with both F’s, but will be mostly the IS-F.

Revised under panel retention method. More secured, went from plastic ties to plastic clamp loops and aluminum screws.

Got some parts and put the rear coilovers together. Got everything installed. Mike is making me some proper top hats for the rear, but for now these will do!

I'm not sure of the brand, but it's this one from Buyee Japan.

There are other ones like it from other sellers on there.

I finally got the final piece to the shift lever direction mod! Fonts are a little different than the factory fonts but I like it.



Custom decal and factory indicator panel.



Factory panel wet sanded and polished.



With lights ON, + and - light up in blue.



Lights off. Looks just like factory minus the fonts.

I didn’t know that Tom’s made a harness until just recently, didn’t it also come with the custom panel?
Mine is a custom decal that goes behind the factory plastic panel after it is sanded down clear and polished. I have a local friend that designs custom gauge faces and he uses a company in Canada. I already paid for the initial design and programming so any future orders will just be re-prints. Let me know via pm if you’re interested in one as I will be placing an order for a few soon.

Your build is very clean. I’m very utilitarian, so I never saw the point in very small details. Do you mind sharing why your into small things, like titanium hardware? I’m honestly curious. I like going all out with big things like quality wheels, seats, suspension, etc... but I can also slouch on simple things like cleaning the wheels before a car show lol.
