Thanks! I bought them while I was in Europe. I wasn't sure where to put them, but I think I found the perfect spot.

Joe, chip repair paint may need longer than a week to cure before you put the PPF. If not, paint may come off when the ppf comes off. Talk to the ppf guy about this.
Thanks for the advice! They started the chip repair yesterday and will work on covering the non damaged parts of the car starting next week and save the damaged parts for the end.

I guess you can never totally eliminate the ricer in me. Big wing looks kind of plain. Planning on adding Porsche script to it and Black surrounds for the headlights. No more after that!

The axle lift in the .2RS is a new system. I believe electric rather than hydraulic. Here is a pic of it.

It looks the naca ducts in the hood feed into the brake ducts being fed by the radiator.

Curious that the tender spring is fully compressed in your picture. Is the wheel off in this shot?

The wheel is off, but the axle lift is up. This pic is with the axle lift down.

Yes. All 4 wheels are off the car.

Interesting. All four off and the helper spring is essentially compressed still. Makes you wonder why they have it in the stack at all.

Yeah, doesn't seem like it's doing much other than holding the main spring down
