Quick little update:

TOM's tail lights!
Picked them up off of a fb group only used for a month. My Valenti lights started having LED issues so i sold them off cheap to someone who wanted them.

Thanks! I'm hoping to piece together a front lip/set of skirts and spats soon, but I'm still deciding on what I want. Once I sell the carbon lip that will put some funds back into the car budget as well.

LMK how the TOM's tail lights last you. I see them for sale with dead LEDs some times. I wanna buy a set so badly, but running them with dead LEDs after a short amount of time would irk me. Especially considering the cost..

I was afraid of that too. My mindset buying these was "ok they're a month old and it's 2018.....They came out in what, 2013? I would hope most of the bugs would be ironed out by now." I will say this, though. Having these right after having the Valenti lights the LEDs in the TOM's are much brighter beyond a shadow of a doubt. The light quality is superior to the other lights, so here's hoping that means superior LEDs.

Nice, I think I'll be pulling the trigger on a set soon.

Took a trip up to Tennessee last Wednesday and was able to hit the mighty Tail of the Dragon for my first time as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway. All I can say is, wow. My car had never left Florida up until this trip so mountain roads were foreign to me.

This was hands-down the biggest rush the car has ever given me. The 86 is anything but a slow car in this environment.

By fit do you mean fit or cover the 2017+ spoiler holes lolol

^ Crap, yea I meant if it covers the 2017 spoiler holes. It obviously fits since we all share the same trunk.

Hmm I really don't know if it would, mine is a '14. Maybe find out where the holes are on yours and compare to an oem pre '17 spoiler? It covered my oem holes.

Installed a new front lip last night and snapped a few quick pics early this morning (hence the sunrise making the satin white look yellow ). Honestly I like the fit and style of it a lot more than my expensive carbon lip. It's subtle and feels like it could've come as an oem option in my opinion.

If anyone is interested in buying the old lip it's still for sale. I'm selling it dirt cheap compared to what I paid, and I will ship. Just throw me an offer.
