Off topic: What color did you powdercoat the calipers? Looks fantastic.
I’m gonna be honest with ya: I did it because I could. I don’t think there will be any noticeable change as I would never take an LC on a track. The spirited mountain driving I’ve done has never put the transmission in limp mode while in Sport S+. I truly did it because I could, and cooler trans temps are always better!

My calipers are Corvette Accelerate Yellow.
And thanks very much!
Can I assume there won’t be “pre” and “post” temperature logs, then?

No sir. The temp reading thing became a whole nightmare. Finding a reader that does realtime diagnostic with trans temps is a chore. Especially one confirmed to work with the LC. I tried. I did the “jumper trick” to refill the trans using the OBDII port. I honestly wanted a more comprehensive explanation to benefits and install, but got over that real quick when I had the whole car taken apart and no help to document the process. It would have taken multiple days to record the install, and I don’t have that luxury at this time.
I am bummed about not being able to record before and after temps, but it’s a substantial cooling system, so it has to make a difference. You bypass the radiator and those ports stay open moving forward. I just plugged them up.
Three weeks ago I pulled up to a curb too far and touched my bumper to the curb. I screwed up my PPF 1/8 inch above the bottom on the passenger side of my front bumper. It was the first time I scratched my car in 4 years. Upon further inspection it didn’t appear that I affected the paint and just tore the PPF. That’s the reason for the PPF I suppose.
I found a PPF installation place in my area near Libertyville IL and took my car over there. I got a quote to fix my damage, cover my CF door sills, my CF mirrors, my CF lower bumper piece too. Also I had them do paint correction and they applied ceramic to the whole car. I was astounded at how much better my car looks now. I cannot see where I scraped the PPF. It’s perfect again The place is called Shaded Days Auto in Lake Bluff IL. Highly recommended
CONGRATS! Looks great! Do you have the specs on the wheels? Size/width/offset/tires? Fitment is spectacular.
The fitment is perfect. It doesn't need lowered and the 22's filled the space great. The ride feels stock to me still. The stock center caps worked on the Vossen wheels also.
