Thanks! Yes, it is very street-able even on the worst of roads. I have the Strano springs and Koni 4/3 shocks. It is a little harsher than stock but bearable. It also handles like its on rails, and I still have the stock sway bars.

My car came with that ugly *** RS kit.... Had a shop remove it & fill in the holes. Cost me around $1,xxx. The biggest ones were in the spoiler which the shop fucked up. You can see bumps where the holes are & they sucked at painting it. But Id say since you have less holes probably half that? Hit up a shop!

In the first post, did they intentionally leave the front bumper in that condition? With the missing front emblem, the grille holes exposed, the turn signal mounting tabs exposed, the fog lamp holes appearing empty, etc. I think those items are a turnoff if they were left that way. Maybe they are using brake ducts behind those side openings?

I need to have front and rear bumper work done on my Y3F car from a collision last November. It appears the front and rear fascias used templates to install correctly on the bumpers. The rear template seems to be available but not the front. I wish there were better options for a more blended look than what the factory gave us. Something like what Whistler did with his old targa-top car's front bumper.

I previously tore off one of the front fascia pieces at an autocross event then removed the other, erm, manually... then later had a body shop replace them. I never thought about it before, but are the side moldings part of the Y3F package? I don't see them on the non-Y3F cars unless they were intentionally removed.
