Good info on the additional costs for the jas vent, I recently inquired again but the cost went up about 120+ euro from the first time I inquired to say nothing of your shipping and tariff info. The logo mesh is nice but really should have been aluminum and the hardware fitted from under the hood. Decided against purchasing when I thought it would only cost me ~$800 but, it does look good on your car.

Thank you!
Yea I definitely do think these should be more around ~800 shipped.
I guess to be fair, there was nothing they could really do regarding the tariffs and while shipping was extremely quick and fast I wouldve been down for a slower/cheaper option as well.
Either way, can't complain too much since I do like the part haha

Yeah. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it, especially with quality things that you know you’ll enjoy for a long time. As they say : Buy once. Cry once.

Voltex Swan Neck finally arrived and I had my buddy paint match the end plates.
Exceed lip and EVS canards are now on the car as well.
Only thing left to do now is to get my Racebred Splitter installed.
Think these will be the few final mods for the car for a long time.

Finally got these following parts installed on the car.
-Racebred 3' splitter
-RS Future splitter canards
-Cleared OEM Headlights.

Really liking the way the car sits but pretty much converted a dailyable fun car into yet another project again.

Feels weird scraping and bottoming out again but the racebred is a tank and soaks up the scrapes.

Think this will be the final update for a while until I receive my Varis sideskirts.

Man, that looks awesome! Or, as we say in Puerto Rico, "de pelea." Quick question about the Exceed lip when you buy the lip, does the small splitter come with it, or do you need to purchase it separately? Also, how’s the installation? Do you have to drill into the bumper? And does the splitter help protect the actual lip itself?

Who did the clear headlights for you?

Small splitter comes with the lip, I believe the provided hardware is good enough to have the lip mounted on but you could always add more. The Racebred has been amazing at soaking up scrapes so the exceed lip has been kept pristine.

My buddy recently made me a custom one-off hood using an oem donor since there weren't any hood designs I liked on the market.

Came out amazing and the fitment is perfect as it is still using the oem skeleton.
