also, there's a cowl right inside the fog light grill that pushes air up. next time your bumper is off or if you clean your filter from the wheel well, take a razor blade and cut off that plastic. that way more air gets to your filter right away.

Totally missed this part. Thanks for the tips! Not sure how I positioned the clamp ha. Most likely the wrong side ha. I'm at about 8,000 miles since I installed it.

Looks Aewsome! Love the carbon fiber!

Didn't read the whole thread, but very interested in the carbon fiber. If you can pm me the info that would be much appreciated. I want to change my wood grain pieces to the carbon fiber, probably cheaper than buying the OEM parts. ? I have the OEM carbon fiber steering wheel......hence why I would like to change the wood grain panels to match.


Those 8.5 A-Spec's Look Beautiful!

Suspension update! I want to first give a huge thanks to Bruce and Dom at EndLessRPM for helping with the install Finally got the Tein Street Advanced installed Thursday night and then got an alignment at FAST of WC Friday morning. I also had them install the SPC rear camber kit. Took a drive to Long Island for the weekend and the suspension felt great. But damn are NY roads hell ha. I thought PA had bad roads. Anyway, here's some pics I took at the Long Island sound
