Good timing on this. I was just out in the garage seeing where I would install my front & rear dash cams. I'm pretty sure I'm going low with the rear mount, but would appreciate knowing what you decided and how you like it.

What am I missing here? What reason is there to remove this to route the dachcam wire? Also not sure what boot you were referring to, got a picture you could share? Appreciate it!
Still waiting on the Cam to arrive got it from Viofo directly for a good deal. I think Im going to try the top so I do not have to remove all the trim around the hatch, and if the view isnt good enough with the wing ill move it lower.

Wanted to add some CF accents towards the rear to get some balance. Varis rear fender extensions are only available in FRP, so took them to Aerowerks for a CF PPF wrap.

Masked the fender area with painter’s tape and roughed the surface with sandpaper to break the ceramic glaze, then applied Gorilla glue.

Pressed on the fender vents with my youngest son hovering around and doing his best to distract me. Sounds easy but it was a little bit stressful, especially when the lawn sprinklers went off unexpectedly during the install ?

But got the job done, and applied extra tape to hold the fenders in place while the glue sets.

Tape comes off in (24) hours and we’ll see how it turns out ;)

Followed @fatherpain s lead and installed APR carbon 3 piece cooling plates. Hoping to get my splitter in tomorrow. I noticed that they now predrill holes unlike older posts I saw with the splitter.

and a rear shot after numerous attempts over 2 weeks to try to get the exhaust to fit with the diffuser.

My concern with all these aftermarket diffusers is scraping. Have you had any issues at all with driveways?

I’ve been driving around lowered cars for all my life so it’s not too bad. I have an idea of what I can and can’t clear.
I haven’t scraped the diffuser yet but the evs splitter has taken a lot of beating.

With enough angle, it’s not really a problem. I can get up and down my own driveway so that’s good lol. It is really close though.

That's one thing I like about that diffuser versus others... It doesn't hang down as low.

Installed window visors. So happy I did! From Procivic. Super easy install (after an hour of being a dingbat)

You can’t leave us hanging, confession?

Prolly done worse here, like wrestling butterfly clip when upgraded front pad kept falling through caliper and eventually I put it in backwards.. Moving car gave immediate clue, whew.

Your turn...instructions are often authored overseas and/or we’re all human.

Dingbat-The word 'dingbat' originally refers to to a character or symbol used in typesetting which gives an instruction to the printer. These should be removed before the text is published, but were occasionally left in by mistake. The character made no sense to non-typesetters and the association of "dingbat" with "nonsense" and "forgetfulness" carried over to describe people.

Varis rear fender extensions wrapped in CF PPF installed. Will have an additional layer of clear PPF + ceramic coat applied to protect it.
