Wheel/tire specs?

How much did the fenders get pulled, and did the rears need it?

How long have you been with the S.O.

20x9.5/11 Rotiform KPS wheels with an +25 offset for a deep concave.
Tires are 265/305/35/20

Fender pulling was $160 at a local shop. Only pulled them about .5"-1" to flare them. No more rubbing unless I hit a significant road imperfection at speed.

I did datalogging with my COBB AP today and sent the logs to the tuning company (PD Tuning) I am working with.

The car is currently on its second tune revision and with the addition of the 10R80 tune, the car absolutely pulls hard during wide open throttle accelerations. The transmission shifts a lot better now with the tune (quicker, smoother, and more crisp) compared to oem stock.

Peak boost is now 25.XX psi and from the look of the datalogs the tuner might be able to squeeze even more power within the safety parameters.

Got it, thanks. Do you think a little camber might eliminate even the severe travel rubbing?

Possibly. I'll likely take it to a race shop to see if that's possible.

Installed a set of 2,000 mile 2019 Bullitt Recaros. Not sure I'm crazy about the green seat trim with the red paint but couldn't pass up the deal!

those are nasty. you can dye the green with a marker. they make dye markers. ive seen entire videos of people doing the entire trim of car stitching, just takes some time. be careful, id black them all out.

@Mikepol2 - Must be an ‘easy’ job to stain the thread black ?

‘Easy’ as in its got be easier to go black on a black seat compared to any other colour combo ?

Anyhow, hope you like them (I’m on Recaro’s )

Yep a black marker touchup job may be a spring project, got these installed just in time to park it in the garage for the winter. But they feel awesome!

They make a special dye pen, dont use a regular sharpie/marker. its a real black dye for fabric/stitch. may need touched up every couple years. but whatever. talking an hour possibly every 3-4 years ,

Sounds like a giant dot to dot puzzle ...

Finished a trial installation of the lip spoiler, by slicing the ends at the trunk lid line and sticking the tips on the body. You can see how it looks. If you get too close you'll be able to see how my crafts skills have declined—an uneven split gap here and there.

There is an additional photo that includes the "Carbon Fiber" version. It might be a better fit, color tone-wise. That image was made before correcting the tap-removal damage, which I accomplished with a urethane glaze and a semi-OK brush. The glaze also went on the cut faces of the black lip installation, to good effect. The end-cover pieces don't seem right to me, so won't be used.
