Good job! I would like to see more people realize that a failing alternator is, most of the time, due to a failed regulator…Save lots of money….

Not me

My addition for the day is that I made a walk around video to show the color variance based on lighting variance.

Installed a used aero wing (unicorn part) in the garage today. I'll have a DIY coming soon after I get a new 3rd brake light. I can't stop looking at the *** now

^ it's a damn work of art! man oem stuff sure looks it.

i'm putting on new front brake pads and hopefully plastidipping my new ( if i get it lol ) strosek wing blade. not near as exciting as an aerokit wing. but it'll still be pretty snazzy lol

mintex front pads. bedded no sound(s). plastidipped 4 wheels and found after a quick revision of certain parts it looked decidedly 997turbo like with the alum colored accent against the black wheels.

since i did such a lousy job of trimming the material off in en effort to obtain the desired look i decided to remove it all and apply fresh full coats to all 4 wheels and they look great though not at all is i intended or hoped. they are just black wheres before they were full brushed aluminum.

i think i will have another go at them since my all black wheels X my mixed/silver/black car feel cliche to me. probably because i had that look on my other car yrs ago.

but i'll give it another whirl tomorrow when i put on the strosek wing i gotta let that plastic stuff cure overnight. ya know it becomes like some weird version of blk electrical tape, only a bit more manageable lol

What setup are you running? Wondering if this is a viable option for a billet k16 car with an EPL tune and other goodies

Setup is : EVOMS STAGE 3, K24's, ECU flash, tip flash, headers, Evoms air box, boost hoses, Techart exhaust, IPD 68mm plenum, billet diverters etc.

Call Evoms they are very helpful.

Good luck
