Ok, let’s get back on track here so we don’t get this thread locked. I think both sides have said their piece.

Are those radiator guards pretty easy to install?

Yes pretty easy. The first piece took me I think 30 minutes to get into place, other pieces took about 5 minutes. I put down painters tape to prevent scratching the paint during install, and a long flat head screwdriver to help get them engaged.

There are a few good videos out there showing how to do them. Remember to install the thin front grills first so you can put your hand into the big opening during install to help guide the pieces in.

Dang those look sweet! Did you see that BBS just released the FI-R Evo? I don't see them in the GT4/Spyder oem fitment though as so far only showing 992 GT3/Touring fitment.

I did just recently see the FI-R Evo but as you said, I didn't see a 718 fitment yet. I love the design of the FI-R wheels...perfect for the car I think and they seem to hold their value pretty well which makes the up-front cost a bit easier to justify. Not that I need help there...I seem to be able to justify all sorts of terrible financial decisions when it comes to cars

Another Satin Black FI-R set we imported just arrived in case you are contemplating the same wheels

Rennline magnetic phone holder. Comes with the base and 2 metal plates so I can connect my iPhone or iPod. This will be installed on the passenger side by the head unit. Was about $57 shipped from sun coast parts. I will install it this weekend 👍

I have been meaning to get one of those. I had to google to find a seller with free shipping and no tax as I was not going to pay $15 shipping and $4 tax for a $45 part.

Thanks @Westcoast
