There's probably more space in the bumper due to smaller crash bars on the non US versions.

I was going to suggest to unplug the 2 horns inside the grill to help identify where the 3rd one is .. By setting off your panic alarm or opening a door through an open window why the car is locked.

Is not the audible electronic beep you here with lock / unlock.

Thank you for this picture. I just ordered my Tom's blue oil cap and I was on the fence about getting the Tom's CF intake tube for my RCF.. This sold me. I was thinking of going with the RR but I didn't like that it lost the two breather hoses like stock, and I didn't want anything venting in the engine bay...etc.

Looks like I'm ordering the Tom's intake tube now :-)

I would also suggest getting the rr racing heat shield and the TOM's super ram air II drop in filter to complement the the TOM's intake tube. I went this route along with the TOM's front strut brace.

I ordered the RR racing carbon fiber heat shield and also their air oil separator about a week ago, I'm waiting for it to ship hopefully soon. Is there anything that much different with the ram air II drop-in filter? From what I read It's foam instead of paper? I tend to lean on more of the filtration rather than performance because I keep my cars for at least 10 years so squeezing the very little amount that I might get out of a drop in air filter, I'd much rather have a cleaner engine if that makes sense.
