Decided to build my Spyder it's own house !!!......
Jealous. On my list of things to do but it needs to be at least 40ft deep as I need to cover my class A and my wife wants a playroom upstairs. I'm afraid to price it out.
While BBS forged ones are incredible wheels (not the cast ones), they’re VERY EXPENSIVE. And while they certainly retain more value, even if you lose 50% with Apex you’re looking at $2k loss at resale. With BBS you may be looking at more due to higher point of entry.
For the price of a FI-R set, you can get Apex wheels, Brembo/AP Racing two piece rotors, and AG Lithium battery and drop significantly more weight.
Ten years from now, if they are still around and not bought out by another company, they may actually honor it. However, that really was not a factor in my buying decision.
Personally @MaddMike I think you are doing them a disservice based on no evidence (that you have shared) that their advertised replacement program is anything but legitimate @Apex Wheels

You misread me. I am not knocking them, but they are a small company with a short history. I have had plenty of "lifetime guarantees" from companies that went under or were absorbed by others. For example, I bought a Toyota once with "oil changes for life". The franchise was then bought out by another dealer who changed the name and would not honor the oil changes as it was with a different company. It is just the way the world works. Even big names such as Kodak are no more so a guarantee is only good while the company is around. I hope thy will be but nothing is guaranteed.
Got the OE shark blue door straps installed (they really compliment the belts and stitching, it should’ve been built like this!), Burmeister tweeters in, and all cleaned up for winter hibernation with the original Spyder cover. TBH I’m a bit disappointed with the quality of the cover. It’s quite thin and not that soft inside. I expected better for what these retail for.
Yeah those door pulls in blue really make a huge difference. Looks great! Was the install as difficult as it looks? I too have shark blue interior and have been procrastinating about doing this. I’m afraid pulling off the door card will create creaks and rattles.
They come apart very easily and go back just as well. I wouldn’t worry whatsoever. They’re designed to be taken apart if needed.
That said, I had the dealer install them as I had a very loud rattle on the passenger door since new. Turned out it was missing a clip from the factory… 🤦♂️
Picked up a set of JCR Manifolds from the Market Place! This will finish off the exhaust on my car! Currently already have the JCR OAPs with 200 Cell Cats and the Akra Rear Section. Plan on installing these over the long Thanksgiving Holiday weekend
Upgraded my JQWerks paddles to the Weissach style billet units. HUGE improvement in look and feel! I didn't care for the aftermarket feel of the lightweight carbon paddles with squared off edges, but these aluminum ones feel true OEM+
