    I'm liking the wing. Looks really good. I also like the lip kit a lot.

    Yes, there are 3 holes on each side. I used 1 from previous spoiler and drill 2 new on each side. The new spoiler covers other old hole. Middle hole was a little difficult, because on OEM Evo X spoiler the hole is drilled on top and you tighter the bolt on top, not from inside, but here carbon wing is molded and you should drill intermediate hole from which you tighter the bolt, because there are 2 layers of metal. Also, I should be aware that intermediate hole not to be on rubber seal, because from many openings the hole will damage the rubber seal. So, a little bit difficult, but everything went fine. :)

    Well, it feels, but dyno here is expensive and I can't say how much is compared to stock :roll:

    You can never go wrong with tint. Even if you just get legal tint, like I had at first, it looks better than no tint at all. You'll feel the difference, but there really won't be that much of a gain in horse. Maybe 5hp, if that. Not much.

    for the Tadeka intake... does it use the screw position for stock air box....?? i mean the one that you need to unscrew in order to take the stock airbox out....??

    I'm getting the heat shield for my Injen intake.... if you can take some pictures of the heat shield with different angles... it will be great....!!

    Well, it comes in 2 pieces. They are not perfect molded, you need to fit them, apply reinforcement between 2 pieces and some body kit. Then you grad the sand paper to make it smoother. Repeat several times kit + sand paper until you like it. Then apply filler all over the lip, paint + clear coat.

    If you can't do that, take it to the body shop :)

    I've started insulating my car. Our cars have almost no sound insulation. First, the trunk. Insulation is only below spare tire.

    Removed everything from the trunk:

    Then, started applying sound insulation material:

    It takes 3 square meters to cover the trunk, 2 square meters are not enough. The result is this:

    When I knock over rear fender the sound is completely different than before. When subwoofer kicks, the bass is deeper and there is less noise in the cabin. I will do the same thing with doors, because when I knock on them it's bare metal...

    Have you already insulated your doors? Just thinking how hard is it and also thinking should I insulate also trunk cover? Yea noise in the car is quite awful, it gets worse when you increase speed...
