Awesome! I have these as well. Just a note, the wiring instructions on mine was wrong, one wire color was incorrect so I emailed the vendor about it so maybe that's already corrected or not an issue depending on who you got yours from. I also received one blue and one white the first time! but they corrected that right away, too bad I didn't know until I wired it up.

I'm just glad i can do this for the RC-F community . you guys know how picky i am.

Will it be a different design on the spoiler?

uh oh, let me message them and ask. i didn't get the choice of color, i thought it was only white.

main reason is the entire spoiler will be carbon fiber. oem, even the edges aren't oem. i pic below is oem. i wanted a full carbon replacement.





as far as design goes, i can pick any type of weave. i was thinking of doing something exotic like the honeycomb weave but i feel like i would need to do my roof that as well. the company is willing to do a custom carbon roof for me but trying to figure out a time to do it is hard since warm weather is approaching fast.

here is what the honeycomb looks like.

Yeah That would be unique if you do the honeycomb! That's weird on the OEM spoiler, mine is CF weave all the way to about 1/4" under, then it's the marble CF backing, as Lexus calls it.

Man I've never seen the honey comb weave before! Super cool!
Do you have to drive the car up to Illinois to do the roof? That's a long drive from NC or will you have it transported up there ?

I work/shadowing here in Iowa for a bit so they are only about 3 hours from here. honeycomb weave can be seen on exotic cars out there but not many people have seen/heard of it.

You definitely have a nice build going on here, thanks for sharing it with everyone! I'm very interested to see how your custom carbon parts turn out.

thank you, i appreciate it very much. being patient is apart of modding. I'm just glad its winter because its very hard to sit around and wait for parts. i have a very busy couple of weeks to install all of these parts.

Very Big thanks to Chris for the coilovers! Awesome guy. looks and feels like quality. I'm most likely sticking around swift springs ride height for this car, maybe a little lower in the front for a raked look. going to play around with it.

thank you, appreciate it. i use to live about 3-4 hours away from it. I've been up there a few times. I live out of state at the moment for work. I'm liking it out here but the plan was to move back to NC.
