Installed Visconti flex fuel lines, removed the JB4 and got everything ready for my Visconti tune tomorrow.
Definitely want updates as this goes forward…

Some DIY updates and the finished product:

Did some polishing with mini polishing pads and a dremel(lol), chemical guys V36, and then CarPro C.quartz ceramic coated literally everything I own lmao

Also did a hand-brushed finish on the Cusco bar to be a little different. Love how it turned out!

Oh, and I also attempted to polish then ceramic coat the world's shittiest and most sensitive plastic trim:

Used chemical guys orange pad and VSS but was still getting swirls so had to swap to another brand softest pad and go over it several more times. It looks decent great from a foot away, but in different angle lighting you can see the super fine swirls still there (which I noticed the next day in better lighting conditions and after I had already applied thee ceramic coat) I'm doin great ?

Idk if anyone has ever tested just how sensitive this crap plastic is, but I was wiping it with a microfiber and my fingernail BARELY touched it and left a sizeable scratch. What even tf?! ?

I'd recommend getting it polished well once. And throw some xpel on it. Did that to all my shiny black trim on the outside. Less headaches down the road.

My installer recommended I get those covered when I went in for my full-frontal :p PPF, so I did.

My A-pillars are still mirror clear after 18 months.

Installed the HKS Super Turbo exhaust, Maxton v3 lip, A90Shop hood vents, and NVSpec CF cubby.

I also installed the Twisted Tuning transmission mounts, but I only made it about 5 miles into my test drive before I had to go back home and swap the stock mounts back in, holy crap those things are ridiculous.

Without posting a meme, this post is useless without PICS!

Alright alright, I wasn't going to since the car is dirty right now and it's out in the parking lot while I'm cleaning out the garage, but here you go

Hope you don’t lower the car or else you’re gonna be crying yourself to sleep parking like that

It’s already lowered on HKS Hipermax Touring. I’m definitely not going lower, it’s already a little challenging getting the Quickjacks under it.
