Default 2017 ultra white 200t

Hi evervyone!

​​​​I'm happy to share my project named "Julia". My wife and I bought the vehicle last Oct 2017. It was a pre-owned vehicle with only 3000 miles on it. It's going to be my daily and I do close to 25000 miles a year.

This project will mostly be aesthetic upgrades. Maybe a TTi / OV tune later on.

I'm coming from a 2014 Mazda3 tuned by OV. Unfortunately my time with that vehicle was cut short due to someone rear ending me.
​​​​​sad to see her go but I didn't mind the upgrade

​​​​​​
First picture of Julia. Ultra white with Rioja red interior. My first choice was USB with red however they are just so hard to find!

What has been done so far:
Exterior
- mud guards
- CF rear lip spoiler
- baby on board sticker ( thats why I didn't go for the RC)

Interior
- CF trim on the doors and glove box (RCF inspired)
- CF flat bottom steering wheel

Engine
- f-sport drop in filter
- BMS Stage 1

Looks great but it would be too difficult. As it is I have to back out of the driveway at an angle just so I don't scrape the driveway.

thank you! The quality is great! Impressive when first opening g the box. You can really see the cf weave when the sun hits it.
The fitment on the other hand.. needs improvement. It's like there is a slight twisting in the item. So when placed on the trunk, one side is slightly higher. I just had to use 2 layers of double sided tape to kind of even it out. To be fair though even with 2 layers of tape on one side, the tape is not obvious.

PM sent regarding who I bought it from. It was via ebay.
