awesome build too! Do you have any updates on the TRD door latch support? Do they make any difference? I’ve been looking at getting a set!
I don’t plan to track her. I heard good things about the stabilizer tho. I would grab a set if you’re into the whole track thing

Saw these in Mingofish’s build so I thought I’d give them a try. Bought through eBay, received from Japan within a few days.

Also decided to clear coat the mirror covers, for UV protection, as advised by Wes. Will also have them PPF'ed as well soon.

Ron, good move and looking good. Had mine PPF"d today and should be good to go. Hoping to post up some new shots of my car soon as I really never posted up anything (decent) after I had original CF pieces installed.

Wow!!!
I’ve been wanting to get ride of the blue stitching on the dash. This is a perfect way to make it happen. Sweetness!
Any reflection issues since it’s not black?
I would almost be tempted to have carbon fiber

No reflection that I’ve noticed so far, I’ve only since driven the car in the bright sun though. No night time driving yet. Matte carbon should be ok too I imagine.

Ron, really like this. Especially, the OEM look of the button. I purchased one of these a while back but haven't had it installed yet. Mine is an older version so it doesn't have the oem-look button. I contacted them and they are going to send one out. Thanks for the motivation. Really feel I need this for curbs and parking stops. Are you happy with it? Is it difficult to install/mount the camera and did you have to remove the front bumper?

The hardest part was getting down in the driver's footwell to get the wires (cam and switch) routed neatly, I took my time there. Second hardest is routing the cam wire through the firewall, there's like an unused provision in the harness grommet. I used a welding rod, pushed it through the grommet and used that to fish the cam wire from the engine bay into the cabin. Wires are way too long and you'll have to coil and stow them behind the display, lots of room back there. I bought some solder type RCA connectors as I planned on shortening the RCA cables but decided against that for now. The other wires, I was able to shorten. Fahd (Ba2sy) has a cleaner cam install on his, shown below. I just wasn't ready to cut a small piece off of my front grill just yet, so I opted for the badge placement. Good luck!
Very happy with it so far

Being JDM was one big selling point for me for sure! Thanks!

Did a little bit more weight reduction. A mix of Ti and Al fasteners depending on where they go.

Did some detailing this past weekend...

Coated my wheels...




Dressed the tires...



Tried some P&S Bead Maker...



And today, updated the front camera location. Still no bracket required, mounted it on the plastic piece behind the grill.
