Yeah, you can see the picture above that the bumper is completely off.

I am not selling the wheels or tires. I am keeping all the stock parts in case I ever part the car out.

Newest addition to the car, Tom’s racing oil cap. It’s a bit of a teaser since there will be more mods in the engine bay to come very soon.

Just received my engine bay back from Carbon DNA. Had all the covers and trim pieces done in black carbon fiber. I still have more projects in the works for the engine bay to come.

Hi, Car looks BEAUTIFUL. BTW, did you order your Tom's parts directly from Japan? Do you mind sharing where you ordered from? Thank you

Josh, @Meraki Autoworks
Do you mind sending me a quote via a private message? I have a 2020 GS-F, and I am interested in the TOM's Exhaust, axle back in Stainless Steel. I am in PA, 18073.

Thank you

Installed the new Shiftpower 4.0 throttle controller this afternoon. Car and throttle are way more responsive. Blue tooth connects to your phone and retains the last setting when you get in the car. Super easy install and only took about 10 minutes start to finish. Thanks to Steve @ModInJapan for recommending this product.

Hood is prepped for paint and clear. Next will be to have PPF put on after it has been installed.

I love the hood. I wish the GSF had the RCF hood all along.
