Cannondalemtb's '10 G37X build

Nice start & nice shopping list, those new lenses make a huge difference, bet you're really happy w/ that one.
Are you going to wrap your window trim too?
Look forward to seeing your new wheel & brake install.

I am going to wrap the trim! I have had the vinyl for a few weeks, but a wife and an 8 month old sometimes hinder my progress ;)

I am really looking forward to the wheels and brakes. The wheels go for powdercoating in the next day or two. My rear calipers arrived today and fronts arrive tomorrow. I just need to order the pads/rotors/hardware and paint the calipers.

Yep, life tends to get in the way of a lot of things, lol.
BTW how do you like those 3DMax floor mats?

I love them! But to be honest, I pretty much stole them. I was browsing Amazon and saw the fabric ones listed for $25 for a full set, but only in gray. If you chose just rears, they were $65. And if you chose black or tan full sets, they were $150. So for $25, I didn't care if they were gray.

I checked back an hour after ordering and they dropped further to like $24.63. I checked back the next day and they were back up to $150 and no longer on "prime". It was definitely a fluke and I just happened to catch it at the right time.

But to answer the question, they work great! Fit is perfect. They hold in place. I'd definitely try the rubber ones in the future. But really, with the 3D design, the fabric works just fine in any season.

(Bet you didn't expect an answer that long :icon17: )

Wheel back from powdercoating! Enkei SC05's done in gloss black with a set of Blizzaks mounted and TPMS sensors rebuilt.

Also purchased a rear window spoiler, Ultra Racing strut brace, Ultra Racing lower H brace, and Ultra Racing 6-point lower brace.

are these a dedicated set for the winters?

That's the plan. They do clear my Akebono's too. I think I may go 19's in the spring. But these will look just fine until I decide what to do.

Yesterday I threw on:
18" Enkei SC05's
225/50/18 Blizzak LM-25's
Muteki SR48 titanium lugs

I also found out that the Ultra Racing lower h-brace will not fit my car :(

Can't wait to see how your setup looks like!

Where did you purchase the TopSpeed Y-Pipe? I didn't know it fit the AWD Sedan.

Thanks!

Actually, I need to correct the original post. It is actually a M2 Performance y-pipe. But they appear to be IDENTICAL to the TopSpeed. Any "Y" shaped one should fit with awd. It is the "V" shaped ones that are too tight to clear.

TopSpeed Y-pipe ($230 from TopSpeed):

Thanks man! I plan on upgrading my Y-pipe later on. Still waiting for my TopSpeed exhaust to arrive though

Just a heads up that Y pipe will need to be modified to work with the Topspeed exhaust. The Y pipe exit is 3" whereas the Topspeed exhaust is 2.25" I believe.

Do you know of a y-pipe that won't need to be modified?

3" to 2.5" I believe. They will bolt up fine. It's just not ideal. I will probably have one of them modified to mate up better.

Wheels and tires mounted just in time! Still waiting on center caps and decals. Roof spoiler and carbon fiber spoiler arrived! Swift springs picked up last night!
