The under carriage (black plastic) from my driver side has been off for about 5 months now and I havent fixed it yet. Can this really cause over heating problems? What the correct name for that part and where can I get it cheap?

Heres my 8
I can't really tell in the pic but it looks like you have the undertray, however you're missing the drivers side wheel liner. if so heres a link

I'm not into chrome but it is a very clean car. Props on having shiny tips, dirty exhaust tips are a pet peeve of mine.

I'm gonna rock the grunge look until I get them touched up, anodized and powdercoated. I have other things to worry about, like getting my RB sways in (waiting on adjustable endlinks), and wondering if the round simota intake will mate well with the rb duct. (I got the intake as a gift from the gf).

I did nidoc my center console today though, looks good and matches the trunk.

I am getting used to the drop zone. I love walking towards it and not staring at the wheel gap anymore.

Those are one of only a few legit wheels that I don't like. The only way to make them even look decent in my opinion is going crazy aggressive so yours don't look too bad anymore.

Thanks! I was originally going to get some Advan RG-D's but saw these and fell in love. I think it's the triangle thing.
I was bored today \/

It's actually pretty easy with nidoc/3m brand, super 77/3m spray adhesive/a hair dryer and some patience.
It took longer than I expected when I found out the middle piece in the back is the last to come out. I looked like I was having a yard sale with the interior scattered everywhere.

The front is the one I parted with, and the back is the one I obtained.
