Nice! Did you have to remove the entire muffler for this or can you just swap out the cat directly?
No muffler removal. Followed the pdf instructions on GRPs website to the letter and they quite adequate. The cat pipe was easy to loosen, but wiggling it out dry (from the muffler end) was not productive, get some PB or Liquid Wrench on that slip joint and make life easier.
Still thinking about the lowering kit with spacers. Would love pics and feedback once you have had some time with it.
Nice I didn't realize the spacers were finally up on the site, just ordered!
Gasoline. Lots and lots of gasoline. And then tires. And then more gasoline.
Yes. I’m very curious about ride quality after the lowering sleeves. I will be dailying my Emira so overall comfort is important.
A palace for the princess!!So not to my Emira, but made her a home worth living in
Before pic for reference
Still some work to be done but the hard part's over!
This is ghastly looking. I got ceramic coating done on the whole car, inside and out and it's great when it comes time to remove bugs. Just takes a wipe with a damp microfiber cloth, and they come right off. Maybe you could get ceramic coating on top of the ppf just in the front, and on the backs of the sideview mirrors.
I'm glad to hear that it helps that much with clean-up! As you can see, I definitely need all the help I can get during grasshopper season in the Texas Hill Country!

Do you have any pictures?
I’m getting Stek installed as well. Just waiting for delivery now. I’ve read stek is optically clearer than xpel and more hydrophobic.I'm glad to hear that it helps that much with clean-up! As you can see, I definitely need all the help I can get during grasshopper season in the Texas Hill Country!
After extensive research on PPF, I sought out an installer who specifically uses STEK PPF film. Their DYNOshield film has a proprietary nano-ceramic-infused top coat with extreme hydrophobic properties. I asked the installer if he recommended a ceramic coat over the top of the PPF, and he suggested trying it out with just the PPF. He said I could always do the ceramic coating on top of the PPF if it's not hydrophobic enough for my liking. I appreciated the honesty and his confidence in the product. He could have easily tried to up-sell me on an additional expensive coating while the car was there.
