Almost to the finish line! Arkym diffuser came in today and was a breeze to install. Didn't even require bumper removal and is held in place by double sided tape and two clips that are under the bumper.

Got a little OCD and had too much coffee in the afternoon and decided to tackle CF wrapped sills/mirror plates.

Last step is to raise the car a tad and have the lip mounted on, then she'll be done! (and maybe headers....lol)

holy smokes...wish I had the $ to do half of the things you've gotten done. I did also pick up a color matched carking wald replica, but I noticed the paint looked "brighter" than my SFP. Did you notice this during the day in the sun?

I have received some comments regarding the spoiler color being a tad off. This is probably to be expected as SFP/077 is supposed to be a difficult color to match. I asked some local body shops regarding molding, and they would encounter a very slight difference in hue as well.

you can make it look to a closer match if you buff the area around where the wing mounts since paint fades slowly over time or the swirls and contaminants will discolor, especially on white. it will "blend" and match a bit better if paint is a close match.

I bought it from seller carking on ebay, several other members have bought from him.

Build update:

I went to the gym on 5/30 at my usual time. I come out and the entire car was keyed...absolutely devastated a day after installing the Arkym. The *****ing vandals were nice enough not to break any windows or do any damage to the rims.

Car is currently at 5fifteen Autobody for front lip install, molded wald, slight tint on headlights/taillamps, and shaved emblems/front bumper holes.

Kind of a blessing in disguise, but the feeling you get when you see all that damage, I hope nobody has to go through it.

Your car looks great! I'm glad you didn't have any issues installing your arkym rear diffuser!
I'm SOOOO sorry to hear about your car getting keyed by some ****ing douche bag!!! I just don't understand WTF people that do that kind of **** are thinking! I hope to never have that sinking gut feeling I'm sure you felt when you saw the damage... I just hope that if my car ever did get keyed, that I'm there to see who did it so I can put a devastating beat down (that he deserves) on him...
