Found a place that makes custom made carbon fiber splitters, he actually draw them in front of me and made the molds with my specs. I did the front, sides and rear. I also painted the calipers orange with the Black F logo. Few pics of the process and final product.

Looks great!

Can you PM me price and details on the carbon parts you had made? Presumably he can run off more sets of these?!

Like them a lot!

Nice job on the calipers as well.

Hi buddy, very happy with the results. This is a different guy that the one that build me the diffuser and wrap the lid spoiler and fog light covers. This new guy make very high quality pieces and very responsible. I paid $850 for the complete set ($350 front, $350 sides, and $150 rear pices) he can also make them on plastic black gloss or mate. He had my molds. The previous guy did a very ****ty work , very dissapointed. Actually the new guy will fix those pieces for me, at least to make a better finish.

Sounds like you found a great carbon guy for sure mate!

I'm in for a set of the sides and rears mate. Still got a brand new set of the two piece Aeroworx front carbon splitters to use before I get a full lip spoiler.

The whole set looks amazing though.

Just got to work out how I get them home! Lol.

It's going to be a long old box for those sides!

Well, just installed my third intake. Took out the takeda and installed the HPS tube with K&N filter. And I have to agree that I feel the performance of the car is better with this set up. The Takeda does sound better, but is not that big of a difference and if you have heathers and exhauste the sound difference is not noticeable. With this new set up you fill the pull on all the RPM range, and it responds better and faster, from 0 to 100 you'll fill it faster and effortless...

After a year in pause in terms of mods for the car, started again with some simple things....I installed today the wheel spacers, these are H&R Track 20mm on all four wheels. Took some photos but were at night and car wasn't clean so, I'll wash the car tomorrow and add better pics hopefully.

Before

After

So, here back with few mods after some time. A year and half ago I installed the tune from RR Racing, very good results. But this yesr I took out my HPS and J&N intake set up and installed my fourth and hopefully my last intake set up, the tuned intake from RR Racing with the CF tube, I can tell that now the tune it's really making the job, very good performance. After the intake my KCLV were about 19.5, Now they are at 22.5.
