I ordered one a month or two ago and have not had it shipped or had any updates. They said it should ship by Nov 27th when I ordered, so we will see.

Please post results when you get it in. It looks like a good option. Just curious how well the fit and finish is.

I purchased it from Modern Spare and it included Wheel Spacer For Large Front Brake Clearance. It fits in the trunk under the carpet without taking up trunk space. I haven't actually taken the time to put it on the car, but it was tested by someone with an RCF in an RCF owners Facebook group

Awesome ! Thanks for the reply. I don't have Facebook but I'll take your word for it.
Question. You stated it doesn't take up any trunk space, can you still use the factory plastic cover in the trunk ?

Here are some pics of my trunk with the spare tire in it. The carpet is completely flat and I didn't lose any trunk space..
I also included one from the person that worked with Modern Spare with it mounted on his front

How do you get something posted in the FAQ? I think a link to this product would be a nice addition

Default Nice Setup

I purchased the Modern Spare setup for our GS-F. Everything fits well and all I added was a sturdy board to hold front spindle from turning. Those with the RC-F are lucky as the spare does not fit in the tire well of the GS-F. The recess narrows in the middle not allowing the tire to fit all the way in.
