Front Rotor Replacement
When I painted my brakes somewhat recently I realized my rotors were quickly dying and they need to be replaced.
This was the first time I've ever replaced rotors myself on any of my cars so I'm happy to say it was a painfully easy job to do
Interestingly enough, the used rotors were a full pound lighter than the new ones, crazy to think that much material came off.
Anyways, here are some before and afters and the weight pics for reference:

IS-F CCS-P Splitters, Diffuser and Wing with Trunk
It's crazy to think it's almost been exactly a year since I got the F. When I had my IS250 6MT with the OEM IS-F conversion (I did myself) my heart was set on the CCS-P. The tastefulness of proportion and design that works so well with the 2IS just made sense. The fact that it was engineered by TRD gives even more credence to my desire.
After meeting Manuel (SuperFastCarBlanco) at my very first meet, he had told me a few sites where I might find the kit. I even went as far to contact dealers in Japan that had used IS-F's to see if they'd sell the kit off the car but, to my disappointment they would not.
Fast forward to a month ago (March 2018) and I was looking for reference pictures on the parts so I could start shaping my own. A Google Images search yielded some detailed pictures that I had never came across before. Low and behold it was a listing on YahooAuctions and it was fresh!
I went to the BidJDM since it's US friendly but uses YahooAuctions API, so you can be anywhere in the world and BidJDM will act as the broker.
Well, I was able to secure the kit (and hood but that's coming later).
The story behind physically getting them and getting these pictures done is a story for another time so I'll just leave you these pictures:
