Got started on installing the JDM LED tailgate light. I'm glad on the FL5 where you need to drill and cut were already molded into the panel. When I did this on my FL1, the panel did not have any of that molded into the panel and I had to use the paper template that came with the kit.

Still need to wire up the harness, should hopefully be able to do that tomorrow.

Tailgate LED harness is installed. Not a hard install, just very tedious with the number of panels to remove, fishing the harness through the hatch and zip tying everything.

Why do all the aftermarket hood vent look like a mustache to me?

How was the fitment? I ordered one with the red/black carbon and the fitment was awful. Tossed it in the trash it was so bad. I still want an official Spoon but can stomach the cost.

Oh no I ordered the red/black carbon also . It’s almost been two months now that I been waiting for it in the mail. It’s on the way though. I got it to match my spoiler and mirror caps. I read before buying people got it to fit with a little modification. What was wrong with yours ? Hope I don’t have any issue .

Mine was pretty good, but like all CF some need small adjustments to make it fit well, on this one i had to shave a small area around the left side screw, so when i tightened it down it closes the gap.

Before: you can see a small gap on the Passenger side

After: Shaved off some excess cf material

After months of searching and three failed attempts, I finally tracked down a set of OEM forged wheels. Got them mounted this morning. I'm a big fan. I've been running +45 Titan7 wheels for years now. I forgot how much better the +60 feels on power. There isn't much torque steer with a +45, but with +60 there is zero, even when running 35 sidewall tires.

Shoutout to @HECTOFL5TYPER for the great deal on these 14R Project Kics lugs. I bought them months ago in anticipation of these wheels. Very happy with the results.

Replaced the center console/shift boot, side, and center console trims with some Alcantara from Overland, along with a shift boot collar from Acuity.


Also received and installed my FL5 mustache from JAS. This is my first carbon part and the weight difference from the OE hood vent is significant.
