I love it. Looking at yours I am definitely ordering the OEM kneepads. Are those OM door pulls too - where did you get them? Thanks!

Yes, they're all OEM. It's a set. I've ordered mine from eBay but you may also get it from other sellers on internet.

Google this part number :84095815

I was thinking to remove the SS badges entirely but haven't decided on that yet
You got details on the knee pads? My knees take a beating tracking this car.

Hey man thanks for the offer. I might need your opinion on how to line them up on the OEM blade spoiler and riv nut tool when/if you have some time I've used it once on a front splitter on my old BRZ but it's been a while

Sure, here's the part number :84095815
I got it from eBay and they definitely look and feel better than the plastics

This happened yesterday, I noticed the odometer as soon as I parked in front of Harbor Freights I will continue putting more miles before my track event this week and will pass 1500 miles requirement:


My Raybestos ST43 pads arrived, they're HUGE! I trust ST43s more than any other pads I used before. Will bleed the fluid and replace with Motul RBF600 when I change the pads. My alignment is also scheduled for this Thursday

Let me know what track days you plan to go to. I might come check the car out (and see it in action). Plus, I can get some cool shots while I'm at it.

Sounds like a plan. Since I am a club member at ORP, I am planning to attend at least one club event for a month during the season. Other than that, I will be going to Ridge. I am going to ORP for instructors' training event this Saturday.

Other than that, I might check out this new track in Vancouver Island. It looks fun and worth to try Check it out if you didn't

UPDATE:
  • -Installed ST43 pads
  • -Replaced the brake fluid with Motul RBF 600
  • -Rock guards installed
  • -Test fitted the new wheels
  • -Track alignment has been done
  • Removed front and rear SS badges

Last night I took my car to my friend's house (X25) to put it on the lift so I could finally got under the car. We had a chance to test the el chepo lift pucks. They work but requires some work to make sure they get aligned well and gorilla tape to keep them in place. I will go ahead and order some magnet pucks for the lift points from ZL1addons.

Playing with my friend's scale when waiting for him






Camaro team did a great job for underbody aero IMO so no weird parachute effect that can be seen in S2000s. I was asking him about his opinion on this car vs the previous Gen 1LE he used to own

and some pictures of the wheel fitment and alignment specs:


Without the spacer it was a bit too close to the strut (may or may not be an issue for those who want to grind the sharp edges). Below picture has taken before the track alignment something to keep in mind:T




I have to say though these wheels look amazing especially in person




And here's the pictures with 3mm spacers on the wheel. As you can see, much better than without spacers. Then again, this is with street alignment (about -1.2 degree camber up front):




I didn't get a chance to put it on the car after the alignment and I am leaving tomorrow for a track event in Oregon this weekend (with OEM setup for a baseline) but I will do my best to get some more pictures after I come back with the new camber.

My plan is to put a 5mm spacer and have my mechanic grind/smoohten out the strut edges a little bit so hopefully the clearance wouldn't be an issue with the track alignment. Worst case scenario, I will have my mechanic install longer studs and I put 7mm spacer but I doubt it will be needed. I will keep you posted
