Finally had time over the holiday to install the TRD side skirts to match the lip. I’m really loving the subtly of the TRD kit.

5 months in lowered on RSR superdowns, 30% windshield tint, 15% fronts, 5% rears. chrome deleted window+mirror trims myself (very poorly).

waiting for 15/20mm spacers to come in (shoutout to UPS for the weather delay…) + wrapping the brake calipers reflective yellow soon

Looking good man, I had the RSR Downs and 20mm spacers.. That's one of the best "out of box" looks for our OEM setups.. I sent you a PM as well.. Looks like you also got a lip, and some rear view mirror fins on that bad boy too.. Looks really good man.. I really think the F sports should have come w/ Chrome delete personally.. One of my first mods as well. What will be next after the calipers? I haven't done mine, since I knew I was going colored wheels.. I THINK I know what color I'm going with, but not 100%.. I'm going powdercoat though..

did you go 20mm all around? I considered doing that but was worried it might poke out too much in the front

after the calipers, likely going to redo my chrome delete + wrap the roof black in the spring when it warms up a little here. if I’m feeling feisty might wrap the entire car but we’ll see considering i’m indecisive on color 😓

what wheels you got on & what color you planning? curious to see the powdercoat process! also, don’t think I can see your PM yet since i’m new here D:

Yeah I went 20mm all the way around.. Nah, it fits PERFECT.. This was the front (before dropping) and it still went perfectly under the fender.




I have the DHP setup, so it has the adaptive suspension as well.. I had no rubbing issues..

I just got custom made 3 piece ESRs, matte purple faces w/ black lips and matte black barrels. CF center caps.. You should be able to see my PM if you go to your profile.. You'll also see my friend request. You can also follow me on instagram

Can't tell if it's the angle but that front tire looks to stick outside of the fender a good bit.

Looks like that till you lower it... Our cars will adapt for the camber.. That was before I lowered it on RSR Down Springs... That's what I was showing, what it looked like on OEM suspension w/ JUST the 20mm spacers..

This was with the RSR Down Springs




Even on AIR, this is what that same set up looked like w/ no rolling fenders, camber arms nothing.. And this was my DRIVE height..

I always thought AM would be a great "fancy" car. Always worried about the maint though being a Brit car.

Hot. 🔥💙

If the new BBS’ were in a lighter finish, I’d consider them. The design is fresh.
