Thank you! The door inserts came from Black Hawk Japan, and the center console came direct from a dealership overseas. I got these a long time ago when they were harder to source, but they both are much easier to find now though. Dream Automotive has both if you want to order through them.

Very well, it is just about fully broken in at this point (nearly 500 miles). The NVH has settled down from initial installation but you can still feel a difference from stock when you have the A/C on at idle. It is not bad, but if NVH is a concern for you, I would not recommend a RMM since this is the softest option that I am aware of (60A with a similar bushing to OEM).

Definitely order sooner rather than later. I have a friend that ordered one a while back and PRL has pushed back delivery a couple times at this point. Thankfully, I ordered when it first released and before they started to have all these warehouse / shipping issues here recently.

Awesome build! And thanks for the Black Hawk Japan tip! They didn't have the carbon fiber parts in stock, but had a killer price on the Spoon rigid collars. Dream's price for the interior carbon pieces is a bit high... my dealer can't seem to get them either hopefully they'll become more available.

Would you be able to post a picture of the rear wiper delete from a similar angle but capturing the whole car? I’d like to see how it cleans up the look.
I’m debating the usefulness of a rear wiper also as even on previous cars that may have had it, I don’t think I’ve used it. I’ve not driven this car in the rain yet so I’m not sure what the airflow is like for driving droplets off the rear window.
Thanks!

Garage Unique carbon front lip: couldn't be happier, the best FL5 front lip imho. Has that OEM+ look with more aggressiveness. Tried to get different angles in case somebody may be interested and wasn't quite sure. If you have a specific question or want a particular shot, let me know and I can get it for you no problem.

Man love that lip, who's the contact for them?

It is Garage Unique, they do everything through ig @garage_unique. I have heard from a few different people that the prices have gone up drastically since I ordered mine

These work? I have never used the rear wiper and never would have, so it was useless for me.

Valve cover and Chasing J's titanium hardware

Downstar titanium bolts

@Two Step Performance black cerakote dp, PTP black lava blankets, and Rampage anodized titanium studs (with a broken stud that was a PITA to extract)

PWR / C&R radiator (sorry for the POS tape)

@ACUITY shifter cable bushings

Just curious- how many miles were on your car when you did the downpipe? I ordered my TSP downpipe but did not opt for the stud kit since I only have 1,100 miles on it with no track days and even even no hard, beating on it (am waiting for mods!). I assumed my turbo/downpipe studs would be okay, but now I worry I should order the replacement studs before my install.

~2,800, definitely was not expecting to have many issues but sometimes you just get unlucky

RV6 turbo and BPV coming soon when new fuel system comes in:

OEM carbon door sills (last piece to complete the full set):

Chasing J's fuse box cover:

Can you share the Honda part number for the cf door sill?
