Wow, the car sits a lot better. I'm surprised at how much space there is between the factory wheel and the fenders. 20mm is quite a bit. It looks perfect how it sits now though. I'm loving the custom exhaust too. Sounds great! What other plans do you have down the road? I'm liking the direction it's going now

I know I was pretty surprised myself. It doesn't seem like it from the factory but once you lower the car there is a ton of extra space. As far as future mods go, I'm not really in any rush to do much more. I'll probably step up to a GTR once my lease is up in 2 years! The car itself is pretty limiting so I would rather not throw away any extra money in the mean time. Possibly a Joe Z intake if I can even find one..

Dropped the car off last week for an alignment
After the spring install, I wanted to make sure the car was setup correctly by adjusting the camber and toe. The camber wasn't too bad but the toe was way off after I lowered the car. I know it's a bit of an overkill since this is just my DD, but I don't trust many shops to work on my cars and they have one of the best alignment machines around.

I was also able to get a pretty good pic of the car after a quick detail. I'm pleasantly surprised with how clean the paint is straight from the factory. This is shot with a crappy iPhone 5s and with no polishing or wax!

[QUOTE=FR500GT;9050450]First order of business was to install the F-Sport lip spoiler
The dealership made a mistake when I ordered my car but instead of waiting for a new car, they gave me a pretty large discount to make up for their mistake. I ordered the factory F-Sport spoiler online and then just did the install myself. The install was extremely easy to do although I do recommend a second pair of hands to get the spoiler positioned correctly the first time. I went the route of NOT bolting it on and I just used the provided double sided tape. This thing is secure and is NOT going anywhere if anyone is looking to install it this way.
Hi
Which website do you buy the spoiler from?

Thanks man
I know it's possible because I have seen a video of it online. However, I'm not sure how they did it because I believe the factory tips have a bolt on attachment.
