Did you have the wheel arches, bumpers and lower cladding painted or vinyl wrapped? Thinking of painting mine but would still want ppl vinyl on the front bumper at least...

That looks really great! How difficult were the hood vent and side vent installs? I've been eying the "extremeonlinestore" carbon side vents and "R" style hood vent, but I wasn't sure if it would be a PITA to do the side vents.

I really dig your wheel and tire setup and those tail lights as well. Well done sir

Keep an eye on the CF pieces, I believe Ford sources them from Anderson Composites. Mine faded quickly and turned yellow, for what they cost they shouldn't do that. I was told I should've had them re-cleared with a better clear (automotive). I went back to stock parts, lesson learned (stay away from CF).

Most carbon fiber will yellow over time when exposed to UV rays. A thin layer of ceramic coating should prevent it from yellowing for several years, or alternatively you can wax and polish frequently

I’ve finally finished the mods to my ‘24 801a to make it look like “I” think it should come from the factory. (I know there will be dissenting opinions and that’s cool.)

I post to share with those who are considering similar updates. I’m happy to share my experiences, vendor information and opinions (without trying to belittle you or tell you to use the search function).

I've been thinking about doing the same lower grille insert. Can you tell me what parts were needed to pull that off? Looks great!
