Great start. Just a few words of advice,.. If you dont like pissing money away, stay away from the downforce front splitter. Flimsy piece of crap that will get eaten up on most steep driveways. You are paying $325+ for a flimsy piece of carbon fiber. Just a heads up as many other can agree with me. Those who dont agree probably have never owned one..

I hear ya. I was actually looking around on the forum to see what type of wear and tear issues people had with them, especially on a dropped suspension. I also have a steep driveway, so I'll need the extra clearance. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's another update while I'm here. So my Z1 Star Specs were close to the wear bar, and if any of you remember last winter around this time in the Mid Atlantic, it was definitely time to invest in some all season tires. I have to be at the grocery store rain, sleet, or snow (somebody has to feed yall mofos =P) so I went with a set of Yokohama Advan S4



The Fed Ex guy showed up yesterday while I wasn't home with my lip spoiler (why give me a delivery date of Friday if you're gonna show up Thursday?) so I'm sitting around the house til he shows up today.

Well the Fed Ex lady finally dropped off my lip today. Took about an hour to install. The pilot holes weren't drilled out for the tabs on each side so I had to take the wheels off to do so which added a little time to the install.

All done!

Hey front lip is looking good, planning on getting one for my car here in a couple months. Keep up the good work.

Haha, I am! They make some quality stuff and their dry carbon pieces are awesome. I actually just spoke with one of their reps about making a dry carbon injector cover and he said they've been bouncing the idea around for a bit and plan on making one soon.

Yeah, blue is my favorite color and I really like the way dry carbon kevlar looks in an engine bay. Just trying not to get too carried away with either to keep the bay clean looking.


So I just put in an order with Evasive for a Berk HFC and GReddy Spectrum Elite exhaust with burnt tips. Exhaust is on backorder until later this week, so hopefully I'll have both installed in a few weeks.
