Almost to the finish line! Arkym diffuser came in today and was a breeze to install. Didn't even require bumper removal and is held in place by double sided tape and two clips that are under the bumper.
Got a little OCD and had too much coffee in the afternoon and decided to tackle CF wrapped sills/mirror plates.
Last step is to raise the car a tad and have the lip mounted on, then she'll be done! (and maybe headers....lol)

I have received some comments regarding the spoiler color being a tad off. This is probably to be expected as SFP/077 is supposed to be a difficult color to match. I asked some local body shops regarding molding, and they would encounter a very slight difference in hue as well.

I bought it from seller carking on ebay, several other members have bought from him.
Build update:
I went to the gym on 5/30 at my usual time. I come out and the entire car was keyed...absolutely devastated a day after installing the Arkym. The *****ing vandals were nice enough not to break any windows or do any damage to the rims.
Car is currently at 5fifteen Autobody for front lip install, molded wald, slight tint on headlights/taillamps, and shaved emblems/front bumper holes.
Kind of a blessing in disguise, but the feeling you get when you see all that damage, I hope nobody has to go through it.

Well, after a long month and a little bit of back and forth, the car is back to where I like it. Big thanks to Kris @ 5fifteen Auto body in Burlingame and Obby for the referral. A list of the things I had done include:
Molded wald
Roof painted black
Tails/heads tinted black ever so slightly
15mm spacer in the front
Shaved emblems on the trunk
Headers next!
Hope these are good. Let me know if you would like to see any other shots.

After a long month or so of vacation and work done, my vision of the car is finally completed.
The aerofunction lip was too low, so I opted for Tom's. While the car was being colorsanded, we had side skirts added on as well as PPE headers.
For anyone considering a power mod, please do the headers first, they really wake the car up. Lots of usable street power and makes it sound like no other. I stopped keeping track of the number of looks/thumbs ups/props I have gotten driving with the headers.
Final Mod list include:
JoeZ Intake
JoeZ Exhaust
PPE headers
Tom's front lip
Universal CF sides
Arkym rear diffuser
Volk TE37
Stance GR+ Coilovers
CF wrapped sills/pillars
Black roof
Molded Wald spoiler
Special thanks to
Kris/Sunny @ 5Fifteen Auto body for top notch paint work
Greg @ Elite performance for the header install
Mike @ Figs
I'll attach a sound clip soon.
Sound clip attached. Enjoy!
