After nearly six months, clear side markers. Normally this is a day 1 purchase, but the car was delivered in the fall right before heading to the garage for the winter. Now that spring has sprung I’m excited to start some small mods.
Installed the Moshammer lip spoiler after getting it back from the body shop. I used thin 3M VHB tape rather than the P1 glue Moshammer provides (which from what I read is rather permanent). Anyone on the fence about this spoiler because of the glue - no worries, just use VHB tape (very thin stuff). It works great and is on there super secure.

Got my 4 year service done at my custom shop and had him install the APR airducts while we were at it. After install we drove around a bit while measuring the IAT and just as APR advertises never reached 57F (ours never reached 54F, outside was 82F and I was doing a few modest spurts). Pretty happy with that simple mod. Also, decided to use BMC filters this time. Marginal more expensive than OEM filters and why not then. While he was at it, he also removed my final error message I got due to my aero disabled (error that comes up at 75mph that spoiler should go up). All gone now and I am happy. She runs smooth and ready for some cruises.
Side note: The OEM air ducts are pretty cheap plastic and had aleady cracks - not worth keeping and they ended up in the trash.

Ditto but installed CSF intercooler and do88 turbo/intercooler hoses last week and took car to Sebring for a track day last Saturday. Also about 82 degrees Fahrenheit but hotter than s!$# on track. After a hard 30 minute heat on track, put my hand on the top of the intercooler through the extended wing. My opinion is 60 degrees F for the temp of the top of the intercooler. Certainly not uncomfortable to the touch. There is also a thread here about cutting/slotting the OEM bottom intercooler trays yourself as opposed to buying the APR trays. Dallas (I think) RL member highly recommends cutting these yourself. Remember there are two different rear bumpers with two different air flow pathways. See the do88 website. From an engineering standpoint, you might want to consider the Venturi effect or principle before cutting into these however. Your car; your call.

Yeah, thought about just cutting but glad I did not. My OEM ducts had cracks already and when he took them off each had a piece come off. Even w/o cracks this seems some brittle plastics not well suited for cutting holes in. The APR ducts are good quality CF. We were driving around with the dongle and PC on hand while monitoring values real time...never got beyond 53.9C with Aero down.

Would you say the install is pretty easy? I tend to prefer DIY’ing as much as possible.
