It is a little annoying but with the subframe completely removed it is not so bad.

I removed the front cover inorder to replace the gasket with a metal one. Just waiting for it in the mail.

I also installed the APR mirrors. I think they look great on a red car. I had only seen them previously on 2 different MB FD's and was not to happy with the way they looked so I was not sure how I would like them but I am very happy.

Yea, I am surprised at how much I like them. I think they will look even better when I get the CF FEED sideskirts and a CF Diffuser and a new front lip .
