Remark Elite Spec Catback Exhaust installed today

First mod. After all the exhaust reviews at FTspeed, I went with the Remark. Loving it so far, and will definitely put together some sound clip comparisons.

Nice, after much consideration, that's what I ordered as well. Car goes into the shop next month for coils and other suspension stuff, alignment, exhaust and wheels.

Nice! What coils did you end up buying? Been debating whether or not to go full coilovers or just springs.

8th gen FA500s from Kevin at Atlanta Speed Company. With his custom valving to go with the spring rate. Then Whiteline rear toe links, sway links and rear lower control arms.

If you're in any of the Facebook groups for the car, it's Kevin Ket. Just shoot him a message and he can take care of you. He got me my set of Advans in 3 days where my local shop said they were 12+ weeks out.

But it's pretty common for Asian companies to screw up translations. I'm not gonna start speaking like a Chinese instruction manual.

Got the Bag Riders Super Lows installed and hooked up, have a few slow leaks I need to chase down but I'll get to that tomorrow. Was my first time doing air suspension, so took all day and I'm sure any leaks are definitely user error, lol.

Looks good and everything fit very well, have not yet drive on them but so far would recommend. Here's a quick video.

Sadly it's -20C and my garage is not heated, so no intake install until it warms up enough to justify removing the front bumper. The duckbill however, can be brought inside for the drilling and mounting portion. Then just bolt that section back on. Here's to hoping for a happy Saturday

Installed ARP 2.5" lug studs with SR45R lug nuts. Loosened but didn't remove all 4 sets of hub bolts.

APR front lip installed a couple weeks ago. Finally took the car to ACH this past weekend and had a blast.

Really cool to see a new Ford GT at the rest stop

Anyone have a solution for the two holes in the front bumper? I'm using a tow hook plate mount so they're useless for me.


EDIT: Found bumperplugs but it doesn't look like they have sapphire blue?

I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to get a couple pan-head screws and paint them with matching touch-up paint.

Could probably buy a set of blanks off them and have them painted locally.
