Just got around to installing this today as well.

The front lower hole is indeed about a mm off. Quick dremel work to widen the hole as well as the well where the nut sits. All good now! Now my engine bay is CF balanced.

Very Nice! Now you have to bridge the two with a CF strut brace.

Hey, I noticed you have some caps over your strut towers. Who makes those, and what material are they made of?

They're a heavy rubber. You can get them from Ecs they just push on with some force. Cleans up the engine compartment.

Latest mod has been H&R Coilovers since the install on the Fabspeed Headers.

I had some requests for some more rear diffuser pics as well, so now that I finally got a chance to clean the car and do some paint correction (RestorFX), I decided to post a bunch of pics.

I love the new drop and the feel of the H&R Coilovers. I wish that I could go lower but with the roads around Toronto I would be scraping everywhere.

I had also purchased an OEM stubby antenna to install, however when removing the original it broke clean off from the threads. I actually like the look with no antenna at all, and I have to say radio reception has been unaffected.

Autocarbon cf grill n HB arc-8s

dschultz · 06-16-2015, 10:43 PM

I love the HBs on IB and have always liked the flat profile of the arc-8s. May have to pull the trigger on a set.

Hey Nate, did you need a new gasket to fit that cover? Or just re use the old one mate?

I didn't get a new one. If I remember correctly there either wasn't a gasket, or I used the one that was there already. I did buy a new ///M badge though, still had to add some double stick adhesive under it as the tekarbon cover wasn't flat enough for the badge

Vanne · 07-25-2015, 12:26 PM

thanks Nate, just what i needed to know..hopefully over the next 5 days (yay 5 days off) ill get on with some mod stuff..

NickyC · 07-25-2015, 02:42 PM

NickyC, you must be loving that new M steering wheel.

My KW V3 coilovers arrived today and I'm pretty excited to get a drop on the coupe. I just hope the progressive springs aren't too soft but I guess I can swap them out for something stiffer and linear if needed.
