instructions say you need to drill holes but I just used the double sided tape that was part of the flap. Cleaned the wing and just stuck it on, cut the included tabs and placed them into the holes. It feels pretty solid.

I thought about mounting my amps under the rear deck so I removed the rear deck cover to get an idea of how to secure it. Before putting it back on I decided to clean my back window before reinstalling the third brake light.

In my closet I store my car related products (cleaners etc) during the winter to keep them from freezing. I go in my closet and grabbed the can that I thought was cleaner. I was kinda in a rush and grabbed the can that i thought looked like my cleaner. I spray it onto the window and its real gunky and dried immediately, I'm like wtf so I check the can and its my SPRAY ADHESIVE. I almost cried.. I grabbed windex and let it sit, I then used the back side of a kitchen sponge and it luckily came off after some scrubbing. The window is tinted and I thought it was a $100 mistake.

It's been a while since I have posted here, but I did a lot over the last two days.

1) Raceseng Cascam top mounts installed
2) RacerX rear LCAs (which OE style bushing)
3) RCE front and rear hollow sway bars (both on softer setting at first)
4) Whiteline adjustable endlinks for the front sway bar (one rear endlink would not fit inside the RacerX control arms, but the other would.. using OE rear toelinks until I decide on a plan B).

I will hopefully have pics up tomorrow (too exhausted to go back out there right now lol)

I was hoping it was on another website and cheaper lol.

Mine gets regular winter abuse and I installed the exact same way. Still solid as a rock. 3M is fairly strong stuff. Just gotta make sure it's applied to a clean surface and you're good to go!

Edit: Realized I hadn't shared my progress recently. I purchased replacement taillight gaskets from www.gasketninja.com. Shipped fairly quick! Also ordered new fender marker light bulbs because the LED ones I have now have been blinking since I pretty much got them two years ago, but I'm only now doing something about it. Also finally cleaning up my room and I found my 3 aluminum STI logo badges to put on my side skirts and front lip! I refused to pay $45 for them again, hoping I'd find them one day, and I did!

Here are some recent pics I took after going for a drive on Sunday. I purchased Adobe Lightroom to help pump up my shots a little and fix the white balance.

Installed my rexpeed polarized, wide angle, heated mirrors. I'll never go back. Can see all the things and absolutely no glare anymore.
