went and sat in some Status SPA seats today, looks like we will be throwing those in the car soon as well as an AP single exhaust for a bit. The tomei is for sale locally, and as soon as I get the body stuff sorted out and vivid gets their pictures and video of the AP muffler kit, I can use the can and make my own custom tubing and either center mount the car, or mount it transverse and exit the exhaust into the diffuser on the passenger side using a teardrop cut and do an exhaust blown diffuser set up.. guess we shall see.

I dropped off my calipers and suspension parts to Hyer Quality Detail for Ceramic Pro nano coating.

Wheels should be back from Niche early next week in the proper barrel color and we will ceramic coat them as well.

I was just wondering, do you have any underside shots of the whole diffuser scenario? I'd just be interested to see how and where you mounted everything.

tons of places..
tab to a lower diff bolt
an arm on each back side that goes up to each camber arm area.
4 point cage shape to the heat shield studs
diagonal bar across the back from the evap can over to a similar bolt on the other side.. arms on each sid3e up to a factory 10mm near evap can etc.


no pics, but there a half a million mounting point to use.

I guess I stand corrected. I thought your hood just looks like that.

I guess I should clarify, stock hoods with spacers on them look jank

Good thing damage was minimal, and none for others. I've seen cracked windshields from the hood flying open.

sorry to hear about the hood, glad to see you weren't hurt and damage was small enough to repair.
