Tabaka Build
#166
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Bought it at the start of the year with the group buy, has been sitting in the garage since.
I'm just waiting to pick up some side skirts then can get my Rideskinz front and rear painted and fitted.

I used clear 3M VHB permanent double sided tape. I had to shave the entire inside lip so the tape would sit flush. The problem is the material is very flexible and gravity wants to pull the rear section near the license plate to the ground. I tried using extreme heat with a heat gun to form it differently but it didn't work. I have loads of double sided tape but it won't stick to the rear bumper near that section of the license plate. On a black car, it doesn't look "terrible", but to a picky car show judge or car snob, they would definitely point it out and laugh at you. It's not as bad as lets say....zip ties on a cracked bumper, but it's not Lexus OEM fitment that's for sure. I've thought about making it permanent and taking it to a professional body shop, but seriously, it's a lip that I've spent over $500 with paint. I've already invested way too much money on it.

Not much else to report on lately.
I did have a question as I'm not sure what to do about my exhaust for this build. I just got a ticket the other day for my topspeed mufflers (I hate Virginia), so I want this set up to be quiet. I think the cops were just looking for a reason to pull me over to check everything else out. I got a ticket for tint and license plate covers as well. Anyways, I want to keep my dual exhaust outlets but keep everything quiet.

I have never been pulled over in that car period! It's tinted , low, loud ,fast you name it..This is why i don't go to VA meets.
