FR500GT's F-Type Build Thread

Hey thanks man! Haha yeah Damon frequents our shop a lot (we did his previous wraps and printed out his current one) and we attend a lot of the same car events. Cool dude!
As far as the rear diffuser goes, no you didn't miss a write up. I opted out of doing one because it was such a headache to make it work and fit (to my standards at least). I purchased online from a random company overseas and took a huge risk as no one on here has really tried purchasing and installing this diffuser. The part comes about 90% ready to be installed but required about 10 hours of trimming, test fitting and installing OE hardware/reverse light brackets to make it work. I then had it professionally painted gloss black over the Carbon Fiber to really make it look like an OE part. Hope this helps!

Welp, it looks like I'm taking the 570s now.. kind of a bummer since I was looking forward to taking my F-Type. I shouldn't complain, it will still be a lot of fun in the flamethrower McLaren lol

Fuel Run looks like a blast. Supposedly, I'm getting my Pantera back tomorrow, and I'd love to take it up to Monterey anyway for Concorso Italiano in which many Pantera owners participate. But, unfortunately, I have family coming in from out of state on the 22nd, and am tied up for a week. It looks like a blast, and I'd love to try out my new engine and all of the new goodies on a great ride, but I'll have to wait until the next time. Hope you guys have fun.
