What did you do to your FL5 today?

[jdezee]

Added black control knobs and a Create Carbon console cover - both procured from forum members.

Im glad it made it to you. I am the seller on Ebay. You could have always just hit me up on here!!

Its a great piece!! It was made by Carbon Sixth Element by the way. You snagged it for less than 50% of what I paid and no tariffs!! Im just glad its getting shown off.

APR Diffuser installed! Definitely one of the most expensive of all the diffuser options, but it builds on the OE's design versus being a full departure, which is what I wanted. Full Dry Carbon also adds cost, but the benefit is that it only weighs 2.9lbs

I did lose access to the rear toe hook, which isn't important to me

Before and After

I assume you loose access to the rear jacking point also?

post up some more pics if ya can! I was curious how the material was vs Overland Designs since they wrap the actual trim cover

Here's some additional pictures, I'm just getting around to installing it. Note that it does not cover the entire piece. There's a section in front of the wireless charger that sticks out but you'd never see it. Took a picture for reference.

Not FL5 related but I upgrade my stock shifter to the Acuity 1 way on my 09 Si. Feels better than the FL5 now lol.

quality looks good, I was on the fence compared to overland designs since they do quality work. May end up doing this

OMB got the overall feel right and it looks like the other factory pieces in the car without costing a whole lot.

Lug nuts came and put on the new wheels.

5 percent gain in sidewall (or 19 percent by actual thickness) definitely make bumpy backroads far less jarring to drive, and ride quality felt more like a normal car everywhere. I do miss the way the stock 19s drive though.

Injectors have landed! I'll have to get back with Jester04 soon. Expect some severely discounted XDI 1400s.

Nephew joined the navy today. Took his oath and bounced.

also. Hit a pot hole so hard I wrecked a wheel

 

[Deleted User 3888]

Took me forever to find this damn thread and now I forgot what I was gonna say. Fuck my life.

 

[Deleted User 3888]

Ooooh. So the wheel appears to be fine. It lays perfectly flat on both sides. But both front tires are fucked. Literally blew apart where the side wall meets the shoulder blocks. Typical Continental shit.

both new tires get delivered today. They’ll be installed Thursday. Gonna put the wheel onto the balancer. Just to make sure there really aren’t any issues.

Been running the Blitz CF front lip on my car since May this year. And today decided to install the rest of the Blitz front bumper parts. I must say like OP stated should’ve done it sooner. Changes the looks greatly. CF front lip, CF side arches, and piano black front duct line.

Looks mean! Where'd you source the Blitz parts at and how long was shipping?
