My SE3P build
Update of my car :
I always wanted a front lip and the one i bought is the only one i like and in carbon its even better, maybe someday ill paint it and make it fit better, or leave it like that, im pretty satisfied right now
For the trunk lip, duck tails always had a special spot in my heart and saw it on here and ebay and gave it a try, looks pretty nice to me with the front lip match
Installed a s2 fuel pump this weekend to try to fix the fuel starvation issue on track, hope it will help! cant wait to go to my local track to try it out
Bought a mazdaspeed strutbar also, i always liked it but when i saw it had a master cylinder brace, i took the hit and clicked the button
Bought a axialflow shifter used on here after i tried munchy's and really liked the feeling. 1st i tought short shifters were rice but when i tried it, my opinion changed, its like a race car feel!
Installed some spacers also, when i installed coilovers my wheels were tuck and did not like it, not its just right
Installed a FP gauge with block8 pod when i had fuel issues, the thing looks like OEM !
Only have my sohn omp adaptor to instal now, dont have time and courage to do it...
for next year, swaybars, braided brake lines and maybe stiffer springs for my coilovers
engine bay pictures will come soon

I was 1/2 lower a couple months ago and i had to trim some liner up front, nothing much rear. only rear fenders are rolled
since i raised it, no more rubbing issues, no more scrapping either, im happy, it does not look as good but more fun to drive.
here is some pictures without spacers :
And here are some without spacers and on S-tech springs :
Without spacers and on s-techs, it was flush, without spacers lowered on coilovers at the lowest setting i was, it was sunken so thats why i got some spacers to fix that. now that i raised it, i got less camber and got some poke

the highlighted part was WITH spacers.
I did not have the spacers when i was on stechs and when i switched to coilovers, i installed them to fix the sunken look, i was at 12" from center of the wheel to fender with 2.5° camber all around. was too low, raised it 1/2", still scraping and installed front lip, didnt want to break it so i raised it to 13" and now its fine, i have less camber(unknown yet, gotta go to alignement) and dont scrape anymore. rides better on track too, im not shy anymore and do not fear bashing everywhere all the time.
