Decided to lighten the car up a bit. Purchased the @sparcousa seat in Carbon fiber

Never a fan of the silver clamps on the super charger piping! Went ahead and had them all powder coated black


Before..







After...

Amazing what a difference just powdercoating them black makes. Those seats are pretty sweet. How much do they weigh?

I said the same thing. Bigger difference in person. The carbon Sparco seat is super light at 13lbs

1) Your car is my hero

2) Did the Seibon hood and trunk actually result in weight savings? I think I had read they were only something like 10 lbs lighter than stock (could’ve been the ones for IS F, maybe).

3) For the EarthX battery, did you need to do anything special for install? Since it’s AGM, did you get a battery tender? Any special procedures on use?

1. Thanks, I appreciate that!

2. For me both were merely looks. Hood came in @ 2 pound weight difference. I believe the trunk was 10lb difference

3. Nothing special was needed for the install of the battery, just the terminal adaptors below. Good to have a charger since you’re not able to use a regular one if needed

Time for some changes ! Been working with Novel to produce this one off exhaust. Needed something less restrictive. But definitely looking @ keeping that exhaust note. .

Here is some pics Novel sent me of in process

Yes!!! I really like the fact that it looks like they deleted the secondary cats on this version. Please tell me they are going to make this as a production version.

Yes, you will be able to purchase this exhaust. They will most likely be built to order. Contact Steven @ Mod In Japan

I believe that is going to change the exhaust note... Curious to see how it sounds... Got any sound clips?
