With all the CF you got going on, these would be a better fit, imo: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/trd-...fins-1883.html

Your car looks awesome! One of the best builds in my opinion. May I suggest finalizing your build at this point? Because I am starting to worry that you will end up ruining it with a wide-body kit if you keep tinkering.

Thanks for the kind words man, the car is almost done. Just a couple other subtle add-ons and it will be complete, wide-body won't be on the mod list.

I was just talking about the threat of overmodding in another thread. I agree, I feel like your car, overall, is in a really good place right now. Seriously one of the best builds on here. Glad to hear you aren't going with any widebody craziness.

I personally really like the Intec fender garnishes, they look good and are functional and kinda match your mirrors. I want to make my sidemarkers blink with my turn signals so people next to me know I'm switching lanes on the highway and shit. Love my car so much that I think about mods to make it safer/decrease the chance of someone else messing it up.

Very nice build and tasteful mod choices. Every replacement and addition has been a clean upgrade from stock, well done.

Update 9/6/17

Went back to Michelin Pilot Super Sports size 255/35/18, what I noticed immediately coming from the Hankook Ventus EVO2 is that the Michelin's are a fair bit louder. Steering feels more responsive, the Super Sports have much stiffer sidewalls it seems and they are also a lot wider for the same size.

Also installed my REXPEED full carbon lip kit, I had the rear side spats installed as well but undecided if I like the way it looked so I kept it off for now. The quality and fitment of the REXPEED kit are top notch.

Looks fucking amazing dude. Seriously. Holy shit.

Clipdat · 09-06-2017, 08:12 PM

Don't you dare scrape that front lip!

I raised the car today about 1/3 of an inch in preparation, got down my driveway without scraping so I hope I'm good for now.

Thanks a lot man. Appreciate it!

Wow, you pretty much nailed it. The hood isnt my taste, but it goes with the car really well. This is a great balance of clean, sporty, and not ridiculous.

Dan37BRZ · 09-07-2017, 04:28 PM

Slapped on the rear side spats, yay or nay?

Clipdat · 09-07-2017, 05:09 PM

Yeah, keep them. Completes the look of the kit, imo.

Have you given any thought to the TRD CF fender fins?

Never really been a fan of them. Comparing them to your pic without them I think the rear looks way better bare. Kinda looks like they're just there just so they can say they've got a full lip kit for the platform, not necessarily because they look all that good. More pics would help though.
