It was a gift from my friend and she said she bought them from one of those asian stores that sells stationary or plush dolls.

Thanks! It's my second hardtop and what's funny is that although the carbon one fits amazing, the mugen FRP one fit even better.

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.
It was a debate between the alloy craft and the heeltoe. Ultimately, both superior products on their own, I just made a decision and stuck with it. Thanks for the information Chris.

I know i commented already a bit ago.

But hey it's friday.

Whenever I am having a rough day, I just come here, smile, and realize I drive an S, not as nice as yours, but it's still an S- and then watching all the hard work you've put into it and truly appreciating it, turns my day right back right-side up again.

Can't wait to see more progress.

BTW, your TE's look garbage on your car, I suggest you donate them to me for proper disposal

***UPDATE APRIL 30, 2013***

Care package delivered and picked up! Thanks Evasive & Voltex for the goodies!! Parts are painting as we speak. Here are some pics of the bumper for those wanting a closer look. Felt like a kid on Christmas morning

First in BC, second in Canada [i think]! (damn you jcpy, broke my goal )

Voltex goodies



Voltex Canards



Front


Brake ducts, now I can make a fibreglass mold for em






Carbon weave



Honey combs



Under



Test fitting the top part...fit well as expected



Put the whole thing on, but unmounted



More honey


Some progress shots





Can't wait to put this to good use!! My biggest concern is the ride height and my driveway. I hope I don't have to raise it because this bumper sits a lot lower than the spoon.



Vince

EDIT:

Here is my annual cherry blossom shot. Bumper didn't make it in time though.

I say drop the boost and go to lightweight NA setup!

And I kind of wish the rollbar matched the bright stickers on the wheels.
