Ebay. They have a few different color options and they range anywhere between $130-$220 depending on which one you want (Black, Red, Blue, Silver, Titanium, Carbon Fiber). I bought the titanium ones for $140.

Haha it's still sitting in the garage for now. I'm willing to sell it with or without the spare bumper if anyone wants to finish the project themselves.

Did you keep the spacers when you switched out the stock rims?

If ever you're going to use your LFA-Style Exhaust with Extreme Rear Diffuser, it might go well if you go extreme on the wings too...

Yeah, a large front splitter and wing along with the exhaust and diffuser would look insane. It would have been cool to see this maybe on a Rocket Bunny RC/RCF Sema car. The FT86 as pictured above has sooo much room for an exhaust setup like this. Our chassis just barely has enough room to pull this off. But who knows, "If" I end up getting an RCF next year, I might finish the project.

I look at this exhaust sitting on the shelf when I leave my garage every morning

Welp, I'm about a month out from returning the car so it's time to slowly part it out. The wheels and tires are going first and over the next few weeks everything else will come off: exhaust, throttle controller, strut bar, springs, paddles, etc.
