    I installed Rude person's's center brace, the most recent revision.

    Car is stiffer but the tires lack the grip to make it a complete package.

    Took the car into the dealership for the complimentary 5000 mile "Green" service. Everything checked out ok, and the entertainment value of having most everyone in the service and sales department come out to take a look at the mods was hilarious at times. :) One tech would walk by and then couple of minutes later he would walk by again with two of his buddies. Lot's of questions on the Stage-10 shifter --- evidently my car was the first one they've seen with that mod. The Valenti tail lights as well.:cool:

    The guy doing the intake on my car was asking how much was stock vs. aftermarket (Valenti's, Momo wheels, MGP Caliper covers, etc.).

    I installed the Mike's Brace today as well. I also put the stock plus wheels back on . Tomorrow , I visit the dealer for my 10k service. I know it will be an adventure as well.

    I bought the last one from him. I have a feeling that I will not be keeping it, so you may see it for sale soon.

    On the weekend I finished installing my DEFA engine block heater and fitted a pipe insulation grill blocking solution.

    Installed black mesh upper and lower grilles, and while i had the front bumper lowered the MBRO led blinkers i bout over a year ago. Those were simple to do the grille, which is not perfect, required more time and sweat. All in all a successful weekend project.

    Lexus CT200h wheels. The v uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. :(

    No springs. I used a 205/50/17 tire to better fill the wheel well gap and reduce tire/tread width for better aerodynamics and comfort.

    Very nice! Do you also have one of these Stage 10 shifters?
