Thanks all! I'm really happy with the progress I've completed thus far and can't wait continue what I have planned!

I installed the RSB when I installed my FI CBE. Once the exhaust was dropped, I swapped the bars out. I didn't torque to exact specs but I was using an electric impact gun for my installation so I know it wasn't over torqued. Checked everything out Friday morning while I was making an exhaust adjustment and the RSB was still snug in place.

I posted this up in the sedan Chat thread and I thought I'd post it here as well. Here is a sound clip of the FI CBE + RHFC.

Headlight project underway! I am repainting the housings an interesting color I found called "Carbon Mist" - projector shrouds will remain chrome. I have swapped in the clear STi-R lenses and shaved the high-beam cutoff down.

Housings were painted about 2 hours ago and are currently hang drying and will stay that way for at least 24 hours. I'll spend this evening putting the projector back into the housings and prep for reassembly.

Here's the color I used for the housings:








STi-R lenses installed:

Just checked on the housings - they're coming along nicely! I'll let them sit for another 24 hours - they still feel a bit sticky.

They are definitely darker/blacker in person. Pic was taken with my Kobalt projector flashlight aimed at it, plus an iPhone flash.

They will be on the car tomorrow evening. I'm going to hold pics until the weekend. Chris and Kirk will be the first few to check it out when we all meet up on Friday.

I was able to get 1 coupe wheels mounted tonight for a test fit. It's gonna work out great! Also wanted to make sure my buddy could put them on without scratching them up.

Worked like a champ!

You're gonna keep us in suspense until the unveiling aren't you?

Once my lights are together, I might get a little too excited to hold them back - we shall see.

Coupe wheels are coupe wheels, everyone knows what they look like lol.

I managed to forget about the orange reflectors within the headlight housing. I hit those with some VHT last night and they'll be done just in time for reassembly this evening.

On a side note, here is 1 coupe wheel mounted to a 245/40/19. I'll be mounthing these to the car tomorrow afternoon
