Updated my maps. Easy process, took about 30 minutes total including download/flashing time.

EDIT: Also, purchased the US CTR marketing brochure and accessory catalog to have as collectibles since i plan on having the car for 15-20+ years and keeping it low mileage to retain some value. You can find these for around $10-15 on ebay.

Varis carbon front lip

Front lip looks great!
How does the front lip fit?
How's the Quality?

Pros:
Fitment and carbon quality is perfect.

Cons:
Didn't include the double side tape (Even tho it says to use in the instructions)
Uses self tap screws (wish it came with nuts and bolts for better security)

I'm not sure if its worth the money if you are lowered. I'm not sure how long it'll last if you eat a few bumps and driveways.

Installed @TypeRLEDs interior LEDs. I feel like the map lights LED bulbs are kinda tall, pressing the housing to turn them on may have the possibility of moving around inside, making the connection loose. Had to be sure they sit just right. Time will tell if I need to open the housing again and adjust the bulbs.

Note to purchasers of the trunk light, pry the housing from the left side, closest to the rear passenger seats.

Thanks for the feedback. This helps

Self tap crews...?!?!? That's a little disappointing to hear!
What do they self tap into?

Under the stock lip. Yes, that mean there will be new holes under your stock lip.

For something that's already costing an arm and leg (for a highly reputable brand name like Varis), I don't understand the reasoning behind not providing the complete assembly and parts.

didn't do it today but did it over the weekend added the winter set up though I will probably wait a while before getting the summer set up since I want to focus on other parts besides wheels at the moment... all in all I am happy with the way she looks and the added protection to ending up with a bent wheel.

Thank you so much for posting this right now. Been going back and forth on wheels and these are in the running. How is the caliper clearance?

I have Enkei Tuning Raijin 18x8.5 +35 (245/40 tires) for my winter wheels and the change in geometry was enough to introduce minor torque steer and cause the front end to "dance" on uneven/grooved pavement. I have a feeling that 18x8 +32 (235/45) would perform somewhat the same way. Are you experiencing that @lorenkb ?

added the under hood fender liners as they came in. i have the center speaker upgrade as well as acuity shifter upgrades, but haven't had time to do these yet. also got a deal on the black chrome C I V I C rear emblem, and swapped that out yesterday.
