    Here I am 2 years later dealing with the same Allen screws being too short 🤦🏽 it’s insane that they haven’t even tried to change over to some that are long enough

    Prefer carbon hood, but that also looks super clean bro congrats on ur build cleanest sti seen by far

    Looks great. I'm glad you didn't go with the oversized hood scoop that they sell. Looks ridiculous. And that's just my opinion of course.

    I like the OEM style you have.But I also like the OLM A1 aggressive carbon fiber.Do you think the A1 is too much?

    Wonder if Titanium Works would do the hardware on my APR wing, I feel like the titanium and carbon would look really good together 🤔

      Yes, he has a hardware kit for that wing. He can supply hardware for just about every bolt on the car haha.

    I've seen you could cover up the vent with a mesh piece like the carbon hood, I think that would be a really nice touch!

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That came with it on the VIS hood. Stock hood does not have a grill/mesh so I don't think I'll be adding anything. I almost took it out of the VIS hood for a cleaner look.

    Just ordered one and used your code! Thanks! I ordered 2 from eBay over the summer and the 1st came damaged and was returned. Second one was total garbage the carbon was lifting from what ever was underneath and was all wavy. Sent that one back? Hopefully 3rd time is the charm with this one.

    Kinda off topic, but Do you know of any products that will get rid of some fade on rubber seals and car trim ( mainly on the exterior of the doors...if that makes sense.)

    • @Autofreakgarage
      @Autofreakgarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'll need to do a deep clean on them to remove any contaminants and then coat them with a trim coating to bring them back.

      Soak with soap of your choice and let soften. Then just use a clay bar or auto scrub sponge.
