TL;DR - Spoon Rigid Collar and Cusco Braces are dope (definitely recommended to be installed together), PPF is a pain to do but worth it because the money you save you can invest in Spoon Rigid Collar and Cusco Braces, and remember to mark your beam pattern before installing the Morimoto Jewel headlights. Also, theretorfitsource.com sucks because they sent me the wrong connector for the XB LED Fog Light install.

I've been waiting to install a few parts before posting here. Just got some pretty cool upgrades done on the CTR and I am super stoked to share with the fk8 fam! Shortly after purchasing the champ white CTR in April I had a local shop install the Suntek's Ceramic Tint (30% front/20% rear), DIY Suntek Ultra PPF installed a full front, partial hood, a-pillars and partial roof, with rockers and rear fender cover; all provided from servoppf.com. Not perfect but I saved myself $1500 to invest in car modifications (Cusco braces and Spoon rigid collars). After the ppf install I Gtechniq CSL ceramic coated the whole car, followed by 2x coats of EXO v4 and also applied Halo to the PPF sections of the car. Car looked amazing and definitely had that bling bling factor. Next I coated the interior according to a @ctrmofo's recommendation in order to protect from any potential staining. Today with the odometer at ~1030 miles, I had a friend (with a mint 98' ITR with a few miles short of 10K) help me install the Spoon rigid collars (Front & Rear) as well as the Cusco front, mid and rear brace + the rear engine mount. Also installed the XB Jewel LED Headlights along with the Top Tier Auto's smoked sidemarkers; a long day but extremely productive day for the FK8. Unfortunately we were unable to install the Morimoto XB LED Fog Lights because "The Retrofit Source" sent me the wrong fog assembly connector to match with the oem connector... But that shouldn't be too difficult a fix once I have the correct connector for the install since the fog panel is easily detached from the bumper. Overall, I am super excited about the upgrades and can't wait to put more miles on the car in order to appreciate the new upgrades more.

Initial impressions, car feels much more rigid, more stable around turns and a planted feel when driving. It doesn't change the characteristics of the car, only enhances the feel of it. Highly recommend installing the Spoon Rigid Collars and Cusco Braces together since you are using some of the same bolts when installing one or the other. Headlights look amazing but I forgot to mark the beam height so I will need to adjust them accordingly (beam is extremely low and will need to be raised substantially). Suntek Ultra PPF is amazing and it is extremely hard to tell that it is even installed on the car from most angles. Suntek Ultra Ceramic Tint is super clear and the shade it provides is quality. The ceramic coat does a great job keeping the car clean but it is quite a bit troublesome having to be conscious of sprinkler water and the potential cause of water spots from it. Its made me purchase quite a few more car washing products to ensure that I am able to properly maintain the ceramic coating. The Cusco rear engine mount is definitely noticeable upon engine startup as it vibrates the dash slightly upon engine start and a little more NVH as you drive through shifts but it's definitely not as bad as some posts makes it out to be. It is very manageable for daily driving and adds that race car factor to an otherwise civilized commute.
