I also decided to remove the turbo blanket and instead wrap the intake tube to protect it from the heat. A track mechanic told me that would help the turbo's longevity.

Then I had to get the car ready for paint. After it was done, I couldn't have been happier.
question about getting your car repainted after installing the vented hood. Was it so you could make all the yellow match? im assuming it wouldnt.

The fenders and bumper were repainted (blended) with the hood, since yellow is difficult to match properly.

I could’ve had only the hood painted, but most likely the color difference would’ve been seen

I see that you have the Motegi MR140. I recently bought a set but they won't arrive till late Dec. 2020 & I'll be mounting them in April as my daily summer set.

I've tried different wheels like Enkei PF01 18x7.5J, +45 @17.65 lbs, 2019 SE TRD 18x7.5J +42 @ 22lbs, & the black TRD's 18x7.5J +35 @ 24l lbs on all 4's. I noticed that PF01 is definitely more agile because of its light weight while the heavier TRD's are more on the understeer side. Since Motegi MR140 is wider at 18x8.5 & very light @ 18.3 lbs, I'm curious about your experience with it especially since you're using RPF1 @ 15.65 lbs & 20 lbs stock.

TIA
