Do you have plans to reinstall fender liners and splash guard?

No, the plan is to build a splash guard in the rear section of the wheel house but not all the way around.
I will be installing a Kouki bodykit later on too and the wheels will be too big for OEM fender liners.

I see. Your car is coming along beautifully. I tend to love keeping things as OEM looking as I can, which is why I asked.

Thank you, I agree that OEM is always best and I strive to keep the quality at OEM or as close to that level as possible.

At minimum, I would install the rear fender liners. They keep sand out of the door hinge area and cut down on the wind noise a bit.

The fronts liners can be cut and pushed further towards the front bumper for tire clearance.

I will try to figure out a way to get my hands on the rear fender liners for sure. The car has only been driven around 600km since the renovation and I can already tell the wear on the paint and hinges so it is priority.

Time for an update again!

Was able to spend an hour in the garage and took care of some minor things. It?s 3+ degrees in the garage and no lights so it?s not the best workplace but fine for small jobs.

I fixed sleepy eyes with this solution, the blank button next to the pop up lights will get this switch. Simple and clean.

I removed the speakers from the parcel shelf and instead of trying to find a replacement I found two speaker grills for just a few ? that works visually imo

And then I got around to increasing the ride height by approximately 15mm all around.

After that I test mounted the Kouki lights, the metal panel still needs to be painted as well as the middle section. But it?s nice to just line everything up. :-)

And lastly I put on the wheels, will be interesting to see it on the ground but I think it will look good!
