Great work. Saw your car at the meet but not with the ap1 bumper, the bumper was sitting on the grass by the time I saw it. I'd love to have even just your wheels/tires never mind the rest of it! I've been stock since September and tired of it!

A nice drop on the stock body line with OEM lip is beautiful...wheels won't be the same without a drop



Rain, rain, rain. Car needs a damn wash with all the gunk and glue around. So I plastidipped the bases of the mirrors just to see how it looks. I might paint it, but I like the option of having it reversible. Kind of ruins the originality of the chrome bases of the mirrors, but it doesn't work with my car as they stick out like a sore thumb.




Also made some half-moon convex mirrors to help me see the rear wheel and avoid the curb and paint lines. Not the prettiest but functional.





Finally received my red anodized heeltoe locks. The quality of them is great. The fitment is like OEM and comes with security bolts. I would recommend security for anyone running a HT just for piece of mind.










I'm running out of things to do!!!!!

I didn't even know your top was carbon. I love your car even more now. I am debating those locks or just doing doing the permanent alloy craft ones with a lock. Maybe one of each?

i recommend the alloy craft if you have the rattle that you get with OEM latches, otherwise, these heel toe locks look like they'll do the job. Since i removed my hardtop and always had rattles with the OEM front latches, it was a no brainer to get the alloy craft locks.
