I have been busy for a while but also busy on the car.

It was black before but decided to change the color with a new 3m color that just came around.

Arctic white/silver aluminum pearl with gloss.

Black was becoming a PITA to keep clean.

I had a little amount of wide body touch to the rear, cleaned some dings up and grabbed a few parts.

The SPC front camber kit kept slipping so that was replaced with the megan full upper camber arm, 100X better!
I changed some bulbs around and basically cleaned the car up. ih, and i lowered it a little more and added a 15k/12k spring rate set up to my BCR's.

Just have a few IG pics.

Very nice wrap. Looks really clean and everything is wrapped. Awesome job. Did you do the door jams also?

Well this is disappointing to hear!! Now I'm reconsidering the SPC balljoints I bought... I haven't installed them yet, should I skip these and go for the Megan arms instead?

Thank you guys

There are 8 bolts that attach the splitter to the bumper underneath because its just one huge carbon fiber piece. It covers the entire underside of the bumper. The 2 strings are called support rods (metal) and as the name implies, it helps support the splitter. The splitter has a lot of aerodynamic benefits mainly to reducing lift.

And I went down to APR a few times and we drew out and designed the splitter and then they had it made for me.
