What did you do to your Type R today?

[RepyT]

Believe it or not, no new red installed today.

I did put on the Redline decal from today’s mod though.

Redline QuickLIFT Plus hood struts with carbon fiber sleeves.

They’re pricey but fully bolt and snap on without any added hardware or drilling.

Had to drill/dremel cutouts in side covers for knuckle fitting. Anyone take their OEM prop rod out or just leave it?

Just some few shots. Got some more parts coming from paint tomorrow. As for the interior, got rid of as much red as I can. Not a fan of all the Alcantara, plus working in the hospital I dont want the bacteria to cling to all that fabric. Only thing I want red are those seats ?. Makes it pop out a lot more with that sporty look.

Rear wiper delete. I know this is a polarizing one. But with styling of our cars, I like to smooth things out as much as possible.

Raybrig fog lamps installed, looks amazing, light output a tad brighter than stock. Housing design is on point.
Dream automotive shift knob installed, feels really good. Spoon one I had on going up for sale for anyone interested. Spoon valve cover installed some time ago but too busy to post at the time, but here it is

Used this video. Was easier and quicker than I thought. Didn’t have to remove the spoiler like he does. Got a rando plug off Amazon for $12. The $20-40 ones don’t seem to be any better.

After nearly two years of running with no heatshields on my turbo or PRL high flow downpipe in the sweltering heat of Florida, I'm finally getting some cooling upgrades.

I got my hands on one of those PRL downpipe blankets from PTP as well as a turbo blanket, two 12x24" DEI gold wrap sheets, and a roll of 2x15" gold tape.

Gonna cover my PRL intake box and the inlet pipe, maybe the metal charge pipes as well. Might do the A/C lines if it doesn't look horrible.

Anybody know if the blankets can be installed without taking the turbo/downpipe off? Also any suggestions on spots for gold tape/sheets? I'm pretty sure I'll have a ton of extra sheet/roll.

I don’t know how to do a link but here ya go. I wish I could have found a plastic/rubber grommet but I couldn’t find any that I though would fit.

No mods today, imagine that?
I’m not counting the Import Image Racing sticker added to engine side cover panels.

Cooled off here so enjoyed a lil’ local cruisin’ this evenin’ before ‘hood-posin’.

Finally got around to cleaning my car so I can put the ppf on. That.... Was a struggle. Still not done but I did get the most of it done. However, I think my bumper may need to be reworked tomorrow. Then I can ceramic coat it.

I bet the bumper area and all the small crevices and holes are the most challenging. Placing the entire large piece on the hood would probably be the easiest. You must be a really patient guy deciding to do all of this on your own.

3/4 work is good prep.
