Picked up the new lip at the dealership, now just gotta wait to be able to get it installed later this week.

Thanks to @derekbrz24 for the tips on removing and painting the steering wheel trim.

hit the skyway last night with the cloud ceiling about 4000'. dropped a U turn at the TN line....snowing after the gap for some 129 fun

Took off (and washed) her winter boots and put on her spring slippers.

This is one of the headers I am looking at getting, but honestly I am worried about a catless header.
I plan to do some road trips with the car, and even stock, its already not a real quiet car on the highway.

Sorry for the late response but I have a Perrin 2.5" Catback. There is noticeably more drone with the header but it's a relatively quiet pairing compared to any other catback/header combo (except with a Q300 or stock). IIRC, catless will mainly add some raspyness/hiss to the note more than anything else.

Swapped my 245/40/17 PSS (40k miles) for 235/40/17 Federal RS-RR R compound tires. Even though these tires are only 235, they don’t look as stretched as the 245 PSS.

Wheels are RPF1 17x9 +35.

I wanted rear spats that were relatively low profile and blended a little better with the rear diffuser's black textured plastic than a higher gloss finish (as much as I love CF). I think it came out reasonably well...it's not super obvious, but it's still there to sort of complete the bumper, I guess? (the Maker's photos really didnt illustrate the product too well!) I also got a little shifty.

Took it for the first time this Spring. Felt so good to be back behind the wheel!

Velox spats?

OfficeWorker · 04-11-2018, 07:49 PM

Today I did a wash, wax removal, decon, and clay. Car was covered in iron. Tomorrow I compound. I feel kind of guilty leaving the car unprotected overnight and all.

Indeed!

I know nothing about the brand...and have no idea whether they will hold up very well. Although the mounting hardware was solid. I like their skirts as well with the same low-profile finish/style.

Don't their skirts need to be drilled through the pinch welds? I thought that's what it looked like when I was looking at them a while back, didn't like the thought of doing that.

Verus (formerly Velox) is good ish. I've a bunch of their stuff and have been a repeat customer of theirs for a few years now.

Be warned, the side skirts are well made, but very difficult to install.

I wish I had the skill and/or desire to do that to mine...I have neither. I wash it and maybe spray some speed wax on it, but that's about it....I know, I suck!

But I will fix the shit out of it!
