this didnt work. the combination of the thickness of the material and the glue (probably also the amount) i used made it so the grille didnt clip in properly. i decided to just "return it to stock" with the licence plate mount still on there.

edit: shoulda bought the premade thing ig. lol

I went with Taketwo's option. It's pretty solid. In hindsight, I probably should've gotten a picture holding it up next to the OEM wing for comparison, but I was honestly afraid of dropping it lol. They are based in Austrailia, and I am not sure if they just resell Create Carbon's stuff, but the center console came in it's own packaging and the door panel trim came in Create Carbon's packaging. Either way, Taketwo had cheaper prices and shipping was pretty quick

Thanks for the review and link to the carbon console! These are on sale (27% off) right now...so naturally, I can't resist and had to ordered one Looks like they (TakeTwo) are just drop-shipping this directly out from the factory in China even though they're based in Australia. We shall see how quickly it will get here.

Installed HKS intercooler yesterday. Went back and forth on whether to paint stencil or not and ultimately decided to do it. Hopefully it doesn't get too chipped lol. While I was there doing the piping, installed Acuity shifter bushings too. Busy day, but pretty straight forward install.

I have my HKS intercooler waiting to be installed, did you just put the stencil so the logo is in the center? I've noticed from other installs that its practically at the bottom.

Yeah, if you center stencil it will be close to the bottom, so I moved mine up 2 bars.

Will definitely do that when I paint the stencil. Thanks.

Put in a Sparco cushion. Its actually a seat cushion for a Sparco Circuit race seat. I highly recommend this to all you back sweating mofos Don't want to ruin the red hotness ya know!

Did the lumbar mod the other day, was a lot quicker to do than I thought it would be. Took maybe 15 minutes. Most of the time was cutting the mat.

I will say having a paper clip to use on the zippers since there’s no pull tab helped a lot.

I already thought the FL5 seats were comfortable, but this definitely improves on that comfort with the additional lumbar support.

I emailed RGS about their product because the video they have doesn't look like a real FL5 lower grille.. but idk

and i think there was one more that i found that was for the FK8 that looked like it may have been like the top one i posted

obviously i didnt do any real (full) research on these and went the $20 route from amazon. If anyone finds something that works for aftermarket i'd definitely be interested.. I've been trying to figure out how to design and 3d print something maybe? If anyone is interested in trying to figure something out for this dm me or something ig.

Is it recirculating?

Yes, just like stock and like the RV6 one.

How much trimming did you do for the charge pipe?
