Thanks and great you can DIY it too!

Yeah, same here - I was not in love with the available kits for the $$ I would have had to spend and I also wanted a more subtle look (angle below you hardly can see it), but of course nothing beats real carbon fiber.

Great work. I like it.

Are your side mirrors came like that, color wise??
I have seen Canadian RCF has heated steering and silver CF interior pieces but I just noticed your side mirror has different color.

Thanks!

The silver CF interior trim is the "base" RC F. I have the Performance package which adds TVD, 20-spoke hand polished wheels, the CF roof and rear wing, and the matching CF interior trim.

As for the mirrors, I wrapped them inspired by the F logo. Did the same with the IS when I had it.

I really like your build in how you are staying pretty much with the original idea of the RCF but enhancing it like they should have done at the factory.

Also I am good with spacers as long as you do it correctly like you did here. Most people are not aware that cars from the factory have their wheels sucked in for some specific reason...for instance when I owned a Porsche I found out they were that way on the 911 so in Germany owners could would have room to install chains for when it snowed. However, when you order your Porsche in America one of the choices is which spacers do you want installed from the factory...but then again they figure a lot of their customers will track the car???

Anyway...long story to say I am good with spacers when done correctly. Do you mind a few questions as follows:
1) Why did you pick the size spacers you did? Could one go a bit more aggressive in your opinion?
2) I also see you went hub centric...nice. How did that affect the way you ordered them as it seemed like an up-charge on the 8 Prince spacers?
3). Lastly where did you get them and how much (you can PM me with this if you want)

Thanks

Hey man I was wondering if in this first shot of your F when having your resonator delete done...did you already have your spacers installed. It looks like it or it may be the angle??? And if so were you also on the stock suspension at that time. Again it looks like it and if so Me Likey. Thanks.
