Probably should be the last time you go thru car wash with brushes. Going to get a lot of swirl marks after awhile and not worth it. Enter to do the two bucket method and hand wash. You’ll thank me later lol

Man, I see 'em taken apart to that degree an' I just cringe. I may see if CVF would do mine. They're not too far away. The stress relief would be worth it.

It wasn’t too bad. One bolt at a time…

I love that you can see a little bling behind the grille too.

Have you considered opening up some of those spaces to change the air flow?

Looks great! how much time on the install?
Maybe 2 hours. I had to trim some on the inside for it to lay flat and remove the plastic belly pan to reach in and bolt it up. Pretty simple overall.

Opened up some boxes I’ve been waiting on. View attachment 13997 View attachment 13998
Do you expect (over stock and not the current brembo set up you have) that the rotora or RB 6 or 8 pot set ups will provide substantially better stopping power in regards to overall distance? Or do you see those upgrades as more of an aesthetic, balance and fade mitigating under hard prolonged braking set up? I've been looking at them for some time but I am largely more concerned on impact of the overall stopping abilities.

On paper these should outperform the RB/Brembo set-up. In reality I just thought they looked cooler. lol

I replaced the driver's seat trim valence. Ordered it on Monday, and it showed up today. I pulled it off and traded the old for the new. This is supposed to be the re-engineered piece. I wish I could tell you that I saw the difference. Unlike most others on the forum, I knew exactly when mine broke. I had the car on ramps and had a much longer step down than when I normally get out. Putting the additional pressure on the seat bolster popped it.
