the hardtop looks awesome!

 

A hardtop changes the car's personality is a really good way. Love the wheels, too. Great combo w/ the Silverstone.

Just a note... no mod is truly "plug-n-forget." Always check springs, exhausts, etc after installs. For that matter, you should regularly check everything(ball joint boots, axle boots, seals, etc). One last thing, ask Santa to replace the pictures hanging in the garage with tools!

why is the T1R design faulty?, you can't just say something's bad without giving good reasoning.

 

I've provided good reasoning in the past (previous post).

The design is faulty because the hangers that are on the exhaust do not stop the exhaust from swinging side to side. You can lightly push the exhaust from side to side. Under NORMAL driving conditions, this will make the exhaust move up and too close to the rear bumper. This will cause the bumper to melt.

FWIW, the exhaust was installed at Spugen.
