Started making some rock guards.

I like the look of the ZL1 rock guards, but with the current price of fuel and groceries authentic ZL1 parts simply aren't in the budget. Just gonna have to make my own from whatever is laying around the garage.

This left over infused panel from an earlier project made from two layers of CF and a Kevlar backing should do nicely.

My BMW / Toyota thinks it is a Subaru. The template needs some trimming. More rock guard, less mud flap.

Installed the ZL1 add-ons rock guards because I was noticing a few little paint nicks here and there. The fronts look OEM! I'm not sure why they decided to use silver hardware for the rears.... All in all, I'm really happy with the results. The rears clearly aren't designed around the Maxton design spats and there's there's very tiny gap, no biggie though!

Did you have to remove the rear tires to install the back guards? Also… what wheels? They look great!

Got the Rexpeed Key Fob Cover. It came with some stick on felt to protect the plastic on the fob from marring. I had to shave down a screw for the to side. It's a little on the bigger side now, but I like it.

Nothing much exciting for the US guys, but I’ve added in the stock strut braces after painting them black to my UK car, as we don’t get them over here for some reason

Shout out to @NewGuy for supplying and shipping them over… top man ? thanks again ?

Very true! Today I'm not only going to look to it for inspiration, but I may actually drive it when I run out and do an errand. I have a backlog of projects I need to do with the car, just need a free weekend to do them on. Most importantly, I need to order some QuickJacks! I currently can find them on Amazon for about $1800, but that's up from about $1200 a few months ago and I refuse to pay that much. If anyone has a line on this product at a reasonable price, I sure would appreciate you pointing me in that direction.

Edit: I hadn't checked Home Depot in a while - looks like they still have them for $1150 "on sale": https://www.homedepot.com/p/QUICKJA...rtable-Car-Lift-BL-5000SLX-AC-110v/307393222?. Going to order them now!
Aha! Looks like someone's gonna be working on his car more often (as if you don't already :headbang:)

Has it arrived yet?

Got my QuickJack (BL-5000SLX) in today from Home Depot that I had ordered during Black Friday for $1,080 (i was hoping i would find Costco sale for $1,000 this year but it didn't happen). Just waiting on the pinch-weld-blocks to lift my other car and Wall Mounts.

Using the standard [supplied] blocks work perfectly fine on the Supra\BMW jack points without the need of special adapters.

Easy to set-up; however, mine came with Liquid Thread Sealant (despite the QuickJack Owners Manual and YouTube video showing sealant tape). Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT use the included Liquid Thread Sealant, it leaked on me and made a mess of Transmission oil everywhere (for those that don't know, you need to purchase 3qts of Hydraulic or Transmission fluid separately). I purchased good ole' Thread Sealant Tape, had to re-bleed the entire system, and BAM, no more leaks.

**FYI -- I think the new 5000TL will be replacing (or has already replaced) the 5000SLX. It raises the car 3" higher while being roughly the same length and width! However, that wasn't on sale for Black Friday so I opted for the older version that Home Depot had; plus I personally don't feel that I need the extra 3"s.
