Installed the JDM underbody panels this weekend. Figured out a very simple way to get them installed cleanly with the rear diff covers.
Technically, if you are lucky, all that is needed outside of all the hardware Velox provides is a 3/8" drill bit. This assumes you still have 2x of the longer BHCS available that Velox provides. If you are using all of them - see if there is a spot where you can put back two of the shorter BHCS so you can steal them (I was able to do this at the rearmost part), or you'll need to get two more M6 bolts of the same length. You'll also need to dig up the stock hardware you removed from the car during the diffuser installation: - 2x rear push clips that were removed from the rear bumper - 2x bolts that held the e-brake cables in place Here's step by step from memory:

That uncovered middle arc with shaft & exhaust sticks out a bit. Would be nice to see that covered aswell. And then one complete set with diffuser, all the covers for slightly cheaper then parts alone

I installed mine this past weekend. It's only been sitting in my garage for a year...
I put the diff covers behind the underpanels instead of over them like @johan though. IMG_20160702_163050 by Morgan D, on Flickr I ended up slightly bending the raised lip on the leading edge of the diffuser to fit the OEM exhaust. I may be switching up the exhaust that's on there, so I didn't want to cut it now and have a gaping hole for later.

At least that's my theory based on my little bit of aero knowledge. ** waits for @VeloxEric to appear to set the record straight. ** |

Technically, we would recommend installing the diff/suspension covers above the JDM panels. Below would cause turbulence; but again, it likely doesn't matter one way to the other nor are we able to test this in CFD because it would likely be immeasurable there as well. Above would be better intuitively to us though. We were quite impressed with the ability of the rear diffuser to exhibit attached flow on my car when we did some more real world testing recently. The below photos are with the diffuser installed at the lowest position with no diff/suspension covers installed. We expect to see even better flow attachment when I get some diff/suspension covers installed again. My MPG definitely dropped when I remove the suspension/diff covers when I installed the Type 80.

Got halfway though my diffuser install and noticed I was missing the U brackets in the hardware bag
Waiting to see how long it will take to get replacements from ft86speedfactory

Check the box, they aren't in the hardware bags always. This would be the first instance of this so please double check. Should be wrapped in foam.

::edit Got everything sorted out thanks to VeloxEric. Going to order the diff/suspension covers in the future for sure.

Does the front splitter fit the Varis widebody?

I'm guessing worst case scenario you'd have to put some holes in the new front bumper and maybe mod the grill if you wanted the race upgrade. I don't see why it couldn't be "made"to fit

I dont know about the durability of the Varis splitter. I want a functional splitter vs one for looks which is what i have on to protect the CF lip. I know my bumper is lower than stock and sticks out further forward. This is the reason why i ask because i want to order but i am worried it wont work.

I do not believe that the splitter will bolt directly onto the Varis bumper. Ours was designed around use with the OEM bumper. It would require work to make it fit. Thanks, Eric |
