That looks sweet! Are you painting the whole thing to color match or are you leaving any of it exposed carbon?

Thank you! I am going to paint the whole thing. I don't like the look of any exposed carbon unless the car is black.

You have great taste! Could you compare the sounds of the Invidia vs F Sport vs RC exhausts? The quad looks the best for sure!

Thank you! From quietest to loudest, its Invidia, F Sport, then RC Tanabe. That is also my least favorite to favorite in terms of sounds and looks.

Got the Bella trunk and Skipper lip kit painted recently, and got around to install today. Came out so much cleaner than I imagined and paint match is spot on too. Got the underside painted as well so it looks completely OEM underneath. Just need my wheels, whenever they may come lol.

Wow, that Bella deck lid looks factory perfect! Does it seem lighter than the original?

It did take about a week of me tinkering with it to get it to fit like OEM. Yes it is significantly lighter. I had to remove the trunk torsion bars because the trunk would fly open.

Installed new mirror turn signals with a puddle light function. Refinished the brake calipers in rose gold. Wheels have been on order for about 4.5 months but now have no ETA due to shipping and logistics issues here.

Thank you. I ordered couple days into June. Initial ETA was 3-5 months but looking at way longer now. Signals I bought from someone on the FB pages.

Well, the wheels randomly showed up at my doorstep even though the vendor estimated another 2-3 months haha. They're Work CR2P in GTS.

R1 rotors got warped within a year so I swapped them out with Akebono blanks. Also repainted the calipers gloss white with black chrome decals to match the F sport badges on the fenders.

Switched to A'PEXi N1-X axleback. Definitely louder but I love it. My Tanabe Medallion is for sale if anyone in NorCal wants it.
