i just purchased my RC this past weekend with the intent to leave it be for as long as I can. BUT... I came across your build thread and shot that goal to hell. Totally digging your build so far!

My buddy owns a race shop and he did a custom LFA style exhaust that we ended up taking off. Luckily he built the exhaust in two sections so we were able to take off the center section and just install quad tips for now. I'm hoping to one day finish the LFA exhaust/diffuser but we need to figure out how to do the diffuser the right way.

Lmao I did make it sound easy huh?!
Would you happen to have more pics? What about a rear lip as the bottom part? Dang you would have to chop up the spare tire well to raise the pipes right? I'm sure you'll get it or influence JDM companies watch!!

Paddle Shifter Extensions installed
I have been patiently waiting for a set of paddle shifter extensions to come out ever since I purchased the car last year. Now I would have preferred a direct replacement to our factory paddles but these extension attachments I found will get the job done just fine. The fit is spot on and shifts are firm like they should be. The installation only takes 5 minutes to do.

I also took a few pictures and videos from the starting grid of Fuel Run on this past Wednesday. It started in Malibu and ran all the way up the coast to Monterey Car Week.
Also, while taking a few videos we noticed the car hit 60mph in 2nd gear. A lot of people on here thought that our cars wouldn't hit 60mph without shifting to 3rd gear first, so it's assuring to know that it can. I wonder if there would be any change in a 0-60 time if it was accomplished still in 2nd gear... (still not fast enough)
