Haha right! I'm thinking not hitting something is a good idea for any front splitter! Lol. Was the install pretty easy?

Yeah not hitting stuff is key for survival lol - super easy,has 3M tape already pre installed and the holes line up with the factory mounting holes.

West Forged wheels - 19x9/19x10

Advan tires - 245/275’s

Loving this build, looks fairly slammed, you getting any rubbing with the KW’s? How come you swapped to full Coilovers, are you planning on tracking the car?

Thanks man! I appreciate it. The MSS didn’t go low enough for me.. KW took 2 months to build, So i used the MSS while they were getting built. It’s maxed out in the front,the back has some threads left. It’s def on the slammed side,no rubbing as it sits. But it took me a while to dial it in so it didn’t rub. I also needed the Vorshlag camber plates to get it done.

It’s a street car/daily driver,so it prob won’t be seeing the track. I’ve been messing around with the dragy. 11.3@122mph is the best it’s done so far. If I go any further I’ll swap the turbo,and have femto unlock the ecu.

I may have missed it somewhere in the thread but did you mention your offset on the wheels you have? I am looking at a set of 19x8.5 and 19x10 for my car but I am deciding on offsets still.

I never post the offsets for a few reasons. If you don’t have camber plates,Lower it aggressively and dial it in perfectly with negative camber. It will rub like crazy,then I’ll get messages from people asking why the wheels don’t fit when they copied my specs

Fair enough. None of that is in my near future so I'll assume your offset may not work for me. lol

Yeah,they were a pita to make fit without rubbing lol. I don’t want people waisting money on a setup that won’t fit. If you want to keep OEM tire sizes,copy Jack from AutoID setup. It’s as aggressive as you can do without issues :
19x9.5 +15
19x10 +25

Went down to RK tunes to test fit the front mount intake. Another first for the homies - I’m going to modify the intake and grill next,so the active grill stays open and the filter is 100% exposed by one side of the grill.

Did you have any issues with this lip fitting? The center piece and right side seems to fit fine but I'm having issues with the left side piece sitting flush and there is a slight gap between it and the bumper especially closer to the middle. I tried adjusting it a bunch of times but couldn't get it to fit any better. I'm wondering if I got a defective piece or something.

I would have to see pictures of it so i can compare to mine. The essentials line isn’t Pre preg CF. So it’s weak and flimsy in comparasion. Post one here or shoot me a DM on IG.

I’ll be swapping mine out soon.

Thanks for the reply. I also reached out to AutoID about it and they said they have had issues with some of them fitting right so they are sending me a new left wing piece. Hopefully that one will fit better. Which one are you switching to now?

That’s good they are sending a new section to you. I tried to order one section of the lip since mine has some scuffs on it and they vanished at first, then tried to sell me a new lip lol - I haven’t picked one out yet,but I’ll post it up once it’s installed. These forums are dead,so I'm usually posting on Instagram.

How are you liking this intake? Anything noteworthy compared to the Eventuri?

Sorry about the late ass response brother. I sold the car and haven’t been back on the forums till recently.

The eventuri is much nicer quality wise overall as the RK tune intake re uses some oem pieces. They both sounded similar,performance wise it’s very hard to tell.
