Hey everyone,

finally received my right side decal

and just finished put it on

spent 15 mins measuring back and forth with a piece to make sure it's symmetrical

again it's not everybody's cup of tea but i have had a few tell me it looks good and that it is different

have a great weekend!!!

@Wogboy That looks really good! I have the exact decals, but have not gotten around to putting them on yet. The set I got came all the way from Singapore...which took forever. I am having some PPF done and plan on letting them put it on for me.so I don’t screw it up. Looks like you have yours placed perfectly.

Boomb racing seems to be a good option. RV6 caused a CEL for a few people. Boomba is meant for oem bolt on :)
RV6 should not have caused any issue unless installed wrong ex. The o-ring moved or got kinked somehow and caused a boost leak. as it’s an OEM replacement, recirculating bypass valve. Doesnt VTA like Boomba’s BOV. But hey anything is possible, i ran the RV6 on my car for a while before going with the HKS BOv and no issue at all.

thanks @PSR_Lacey ....the trick is to make a paper template and mark it with a pen with the sticky back part still on....I used a plastic rule to measure and mark it....I checked four-five times and even stood back and did the "close one eye" trick and stared at it for a few minutes....I prepared the body with "Autoglym tar remover" as it removes polish and wax etc so the sticker gets max adhesion.....I put it on with using the wet soap method as it does allow you to move the sticker into perfect place.....wet the body with the soapy water and dipped the sticker in the solution for a couple seconds....I placed the border of the sticker on the marks and and then peeled then back off super slowly.... and if one of the jap letters starts to try and move away, don't let the whole letter peel off otherwise it won't look right, just guide it back onto the sticky bit.....slowly squeeze the water out of the letters with a playing card or similar.....once it's on.....leave car in dry place for min 24 hours to let it fully dry out.....when washing car I lightly hose the area.....patience grasshopper and she'll be right 👍👍👍.... let us know how ya went 🍺🍺🍺

hello all....last night I added the red weave door switch panels as I like the factory "modulo" look....goes very nicely with the "black package" knobs....another "thing to do" ticked off the list....I'm sticking with the "factory look" theme

Agreed 99.99% of customer issues is install error or a simple fix. Im
Not there all I can attest to is complaints and reviews. I used it on my Kuro with no issues. I’ve just had great feedback with boomba bypass valves no issues at all

Yeah most likely a user error, but all good.

Just installed a CF inlay. Great fit and quality with nice CF pattern.

I think the Cf looks nice inside, the finderprints and dust would kill me

I thought the same thing but for some reason it’s showing no fingerprints 😳
I did ceramic coat it though 👊🏻
But yeah originally went with Matt on my other fl5 and looked nice but boring for sure.
Loving this shinny CF !
