I have some rattle with the SPL Midlinks. The Aragosta shocks are too long. I am 1/4in. away of getting 1/2in. of preload in the rear. So on a bumpy road I have some spring rattle at slow speeds. Oops, kinda like squeeky brakes. I don't give a rip. LOL

Where can I get backing plate material for 3" ducts? Looks like I will need to make some.

Spooler. I would wait until you have the TT kit installed before installing the brake cooling kit. Because of the placement of the brake ducts and hose routing with the intercooler and piping. You will have a lot more stuff in the way now. Since MA Motorsports is doing the build. Let them do the 3" hose routing.

LOL, I already thought about that and them making my backing plates too. Those would be some expensive backing plates though. I could reduce it to 2" and use the Stillen kit also.

Installed the canards.

The Nismo looks like it has chubby cheeks.

And................here's my ooooops.

This is what I get for being tired, and in a hurry.

Installed the top canard on the bottom and the bottom canard on top.
