    I got it off eBay. Here's my review of them.

    RS*R Down and AKATA spacers are installed. Rides great, although it is a little more bumpy, definitely not stock like some have claimed. The spacers are 20mm and flush the stock F-Sport wheels nicely. This is my DD so the set-up is perfect.

    Looks great. Nice and flush fitment indeed with the Akata spacers. I've used them in the past on my 2IS with my OEM wheels and loved them.

    Quick question, did you apply the OptiCoat 2.0 yourself or had it done. I really want to do this to my car but don't know if i should have done by a professional detailer.

    Thanks man, can't wait to see your new build!

    I had the OptiCoat done professionally. It's supposed to be fairly easy to apply but wanted it done correctly the first time around. The car was also washed, clayed, and polished before the OptiCoat to remove any contaminant.

    How much did it cost to get that type of full detail done. I want to get some quotes.

    Default Which website did you order the black Akata Spacers?

    Let me know which website did you order? There are a lot of spacers on ebay, if you can, share me the link that you ordered. Thank you!

    Awesome car, man. Tasteful and subtle changes; perfect for a DD. I'm picking my '15 Atomic Silver on Rioja 250 Fsport in a week or so. I'm also lowering the car on RSR Down springs and some spacers...that's it hopefully lol.

    Thanks man, that's my plan, OEM+. The car's got new wheels and a few other mods since I updated the thread. I'll get some new pics up soon.
