Wish they kept Ruby Red for MY20. Looks and sounds fantastic.

Unable to find these on Amazon. Maybe they are described differently. Can you share links please?

Not sure if these are the same exact ones, but these are the Amazon links I used:
Door lock buckle cover
Door check arm cover
Door handle pockets

Haven't been too active on the forum for a while but getting back into it and here's the latest update.

Installed Steeda ultra lite jacking rails. Install was painless and I didn't have to lift the car off the ground to install. Installs into factory threaded holes. All in all took about 45 mins to install taking my time and bs'ing with a buddy. Could be done in 20-30mins. They make jacking up the car super simple for oil changes and installing other things.

Installed MP Concepts front bumper winglets, RTR side splitters, and Flow Designs Australia rear diffuser and spats.

MP Concepts winglets were super easy to install. Just apply the double stick tape to the winglets and peel and press under the turn signal/fog light.

RTR side splitter install was pretty painless. Jack up the car and clean off the underside of the stock rocker panel with soapy water and dry. Use a plastic pry tool and use the pinch rail for leverage to get the stock plastic rivets out (they're about 2 inches long) Prep the factory rocker with included alcohol wipes and adhesion promoter. Peel off about two inches of the double stick tape and let it hang off the side. Attach it with the new plastic rivets provided. (These are kind of a pita because they're shorter and a two piece style. You really have to push up hard on the splitters to get them to engage.) Peel off the double stick and press up to set the adhesive. Drill out the 4 holes marked on the RTR splitter and put in the additional 4 plastic rivets. Done

Flow Designs Australia rear diffuser and spats were a bit time consuming because you have to drill holes into the stock diffuser to attach it. Also I'm a bit OCD and wanted it to be intalled perfectly. You'll have to jack up the rear of the car to install. Instructions were an exploded view to show where everything went. They pieces that require drilling to attach are pocketed out and slip right into position where they belong but having a second set of hand to hold them in place definitely helped. Having ratcheting wrenches really helped with the install. The diffuser fins slide into place and lock in tight and take and incredible amount of force to take back off. I dry fitted one before the install and had a fun time getting it back off. Needless to say, you won't have to worry about them flying off. Quality was amazing. Everything was CNC machined and the AUD to USD conversion worked well in my favor.

All in all I feel like they complete the look of the PP2 and bring the double stacked front splitter esthetic down the side or the car and to the rear and make it flow more. The diffuser is just aggressive enough to match the front and I like how there's 3 fins on each side to compliment the tail lights

Great work. Love Ruby red.

How do you like that MRT H pipe 1 year later? Any annoyances, highway drone, etc?

I still love it. Doesn't really drone at all in track mode on the highway.

Installed K&N drop in air filter and removed the carbon filter from the airbox lid. Car feels more responsive and accelerates with less effort. It sounds more throaty and I noticed a tiny bit more sound coming through the sound tube.
