What did you do to your FL5 today?

Does a subframe bolt need to be undone for this install?

Yes, 2 up front. The rears are installed using the crash bar bolt holes. Highly recommend replacing subframe bolts with new ones whenever you remove them. FWIW, the Mugen ones come with 2 new front subframe bolts for that reason.

That C-West bumper thoo

Its one of the things that drew me to importing this one in particular. I did the other mods but CWest is so nostalgic

Fantastic intake and installing it correctly is akin to a rite of passage

Some super clean EK9s in here. Thanks for blessing my feed this morning.

Oh yeah, it went semi okay. There was a bolt at the bottom grommet that was a bit tricky to get aligned back up. I’m honestly dreading taking it back off when I do charge pipes.

Picked up my wing, mirror caps, and antenna cover from the paint shop. I need to wash the car and get proper pictures, but it came out exactly how I wanted. IMO it cleans up the car and gives it a more classic look.

I've always been on the fence with the color matched stuff, but that looks awesome

IMO, if you do it, you gotta do all three, or at least the mirrors and wing. All of the black is cohesive, so if you're gonna make some of them color matched, you need to do enough to make it cohesive too.

Side skirts and the bumper pieces don't make sense with how they're designed. Hood vent too would probably be strange. I may swap the hood vent for a CF piece at some point, but the rest will stay gloss black.
