Did you get the carbon fiber mirror cap replacements from eBay? (limo or w.e seller from China)
@swaangin It actually is from that same seller. Couldn't find them anywhere else. The weave does look amazing after a good polish, the fitment is pretty decent.
Picked up my ride today and the results are greater than what I expected. The paint correction restores it to better than new and the ceramic coat brings out a deeper, glossier finish. It really shines in the sun and reflects like crazy. Went with IGL Kenzo for the ceramic coating, Xpel for the PPF, 3M 2080 gloss black, Vvivid ultimate tint in light smoke, and TeckWrap carbon fiber for the interior trim.
Work was done by Drive Clean Luxury Auto Bath in the GTA. If you're in the area I highly recommend his services.
Borla S-Type axle-back exhaust system came in today. I'm going to have to swap out the tips to quads to get it to fit the '18 diffuser. Going for a deeper, throatier sound with minimal drone, can't wait to hear how it sounds!
Installed the carbon fiber diffuser and Borla S-Type exhaust today. Fitment on the diffuser is pretty good, swapped out the single tips for carbon fiber quads to match the rest of the car. It sounds so much better with the F Sport intake and new exhaust, loving the rear end even more!
This may be off topic, but I notice that you have memory seats on your F-Sport, I'm in the states, and I haven't seen a single F-Sport with memory seating. Is this a Canada thing or did you retrofit it yourself?

@node I'm guessing it's a Canada thing, I think the F-Sport 2 models here come with them. I did read somewhere here that the option wasn't available until 2018 but I could be wrong.

Finally decided to lower the ride with RSR Downs. Took a few weeks to settle and now the drop is perfect for me. Ride quality is still great and very close to stock, just a bit stiffer but still feels comfy. Also ordered SPC camber arms and will install them next week when I do my alignment so that I can get everything in spec.
With the car lowered I also installed the front lip, side skirts and rear aprons. Haven't driven a lowered car in a long time, already scraped on the first day lol gotta remember to angle on driveways and speed bumps.
Where'd you get the carbon fiber window sill pieces? They look like full replacements and not stickers/wrap
they are actually wrapped but I ended up not liking them so I purchased real carbon fiber overlays. I would have done full carbon pieces but the prices are ridiculous ($700 USD, these were less than half of that). A few pieces arrived with cracks so the seller is sending replacements. Overall they look really good and replace all the OEM light silver faux carbon, I'll post a pic when they're installed.
