They look great but I never understood how people keep their white rims clean, especially with all the brake dust that the Type R gives off. Even ceramic coat doesn't last that long. I'd imagine you'd have to ceramic coat minimum once a year to even have a chance at keeping them clean.

Didn't open my factory mats from the packaging but I did want the emblems off the front mats to transfer to my maxspider set......so I bought a used set of front mats just for the emblems lol I like the small details.....

Yes, you can see a bit of the 3D logo imprint on the edges of the emblems.....but I only wanted to punch 1 extra hole versus two new ones to have the emblem completely cover it.

Side note: I've owned almost every type of aftermarket all season mats, including weathertech, and these maxspider mats are the best feeling one's I've owned. Durable but textured in a way where they feel like carpet under your shoes.....BUT, as you can see by the pics, they are very difficult to clean during the winter when I cant just power wash them outside. The grooves trap everything from dirt to soap.

Went out for a nice afternoon drive today towards Half Moon Bay. Ran into a CW Type R that flashed his lights at me and gave me a greeting! First one I’ve seen on the road since I got this car. Didn’t stop by to take pics- just focused on the drive itself. My Raceseng short shifter is the best upgrade I’ve added to the car so far. So easy to shift now. I feel more connected with the shifter and confident on my shifts.

CHP was waiting at the end of the Pacifica tunnel. Luckily I was following slow drivers. ?

Creative adaptation. How are the Maxspi’s at hiding normal shoe/stone dust that’s typically light/gray?

Ordered Manicci Black Diamond red stitched luxury w/red carpet overlays. They should ship soon as production recently started again.

I hope to be able to use my red HFP badges on theirs or snag the Type R from OEM set but would prefer to leave those inact, can always put them back when demodding some year.

Thanks for sharing the idea of badge migration.

Get matching white brake pads?

Military taught me lots of things, in this case, hide in plain sight. Favorite two words to hear, “What camouflage?”

I'm running the depo 911
I've had mine in since november but here is the info.

So both are supplied by Unique Style Racing and I have bought many parts for my other cars from them.
Installed and they fit so much better! Damn, thank you so much for the help! This isn't even pushed in all the way, fitment is awesome.
