What were the steps to install the carbon fiber vents? Was thinking about maybe purchasing them myself.
Clean OEM fender vent area with alcohol.
Add 3M VHB double sided tape to carbon piece.
Align and stick on.
Fitment is great :thumbsup:

i'm really digging how the side walls are flush and flat. more options, but at the same time, not used to it as all the tires i've had in the past sticks out a bit. Looks nice, nonetheless!

You are used to summer or all season tires with soft sidewalls. The Yokohama AD08R and similar tires are stiff sidewalls, resulting in the flat look. I love it!

Centercaps are for show cars or daily drivers ;)

No but seriously race tracks don’t allow centercaps. It’s just another object that can go flying off a car. So I keep them off 100% of the time. It would be annoying to arrive to the track and remove wheels to pop the center cap off.

That's a weird regulation I've never been hit with.
