They give a 10 year warranty on it. I have not gotten one to the 10 years yet but we will see. I am still a little skeptical on Ceramic. I am still a fan of wash and wax. We will see how it goes.

Always so clean. This baby probably won't look any different in 10 years with the way you care for it.

Thumbs up Installed a Magicdrift Aerodynamics Urethane CS style front lip

Super easy install, the lip came with eight screws but I wasn't too sure if they would be good enough to hold as they did not come with washers or hex nuts. So I went to Home Depot and bought better ones.

12x Hex Bolt
12x Hex Nut
24x Flat Washers

-Front bumper removal
-Alignment and placement
-Drilling

It turned out great!

Loving the inserts to close the deck. I'm afraid I don't know the correct term for that conversion.

They are made by Darton, they call tehm MID sleeves. They call it a simi closed deck. They machine the entire cylinder out of the block. They have o-rings at the bottom to seal for the water jacket. They do make a set for the FA-20.

Honked at a cop for posting up to catch speeders. This horn is so polite and meek no one would ever get mad. Honk at the person in front for not paying attention to the light? ‘Oh excuse me! But such manners.’

Redesigned the breather/AOS/scavenge systems again. Got a good deal on a Verus AOS. Upgraded the hoses to silicone.(was a touch short one left to upgrade).

Went to the second event of my time attack league this year and ended in #P3 in my class again. I need to step up my tire game or get more seat time before the next one
