Stripes 2.0 teaser ...

**Tweakophyte** · 05-14-2013 05:35 AM

Like.

Can you share what you did to your fog light enclosures?

Thanks,

**Akrion** · 05-14-2013 06:11 AM

Thanks.

Well ... bought them from OSIR ... got very disappointed with the fitment ... Attached them securely to the bumper with "bolts".

By far the worst fitment upgrade I ever had. Would never recommend OSIR for this platform.

USP Intake ... installed today... replacing the AWE one

All I can say is that the sound of the supercharger is ...

absolutely...

intoxicating

Why did you change? I am still trying to figure out whether I should get an intake.

I felt the previous intake was too restrictive. This is my opinion only so please don't read too much into it.

Also not that l have the supercharger whine I can never go back. The sound is just too addictive.

Is it the one that's on sale right now from USP? Did you have to modify anything to install? Did you post your new stripes yet?

Yes the one they have the sale on currently.

Stripes are ready but I am waiting for the BBK install to do the next photoshoot :)

As far as modifications it seems pretty straightforward. They removed the whole airbox and as you see in the pics you only have the intake and the "heat shield" to separate the hot and cold air.

**Akrion** · 05-31-2013 10:12 PM

Finally got some time for an update ...

Phase IV will include:

1. New intake
2. 390mm BBK
3. Almost final version or the "new and improved" stripes :)

Hopefully all will be finalized and installed in the next 2 weeks.

**s4buckeye** · 05-31-2013 10:22 PM

Nice work. Looks great all the way around.

**pandi** · 05-31-2013 10:24 PM

Stoptech?

Nice progress. Can't wait to see Phase IV. Keep up the good work and awesome pics!

**SteveYem** · 06-01-2013 06:42 PM

Car looks great as always.
Off-topic question regarding the intake: what is that small corrugated (accordion) auxiliary tube for....the one that normally hooks up to the stock airbox, but gets a small air filter with the Roc Euro (and similar) intake arrangement?

I was wondering the same thing the other day. Not sure really.

I am sure other more knowledgeable members on AZ would chime in with the info...

Exterior "Study" for Phase 4 ...

**Jones2012s4** · 06-06-2013 12:25 AM

Hot damn what a sexy little car you got there ;)

Keep up the good work!

Akrion--you are becoming The Man in this forum! You have joined Josh as my favorites...what's in the box? And I like the stripes.

The BBK ... but they shipped them in 2 separate boxes. Thanks!

**pandi** · 06-06-2013 12:35 PM

Did you paint the caliper red?

**TuanTime** · 06-06-2013 12:35 PM

Don't care what anyone says, those stripes look sexy on there! Very tasteful and sporty. Well done.

They will be powder coated before the final install. Little nervous about that whole ordeal ... hopefully they will do a good job.

**BirdmanQ5** · 06-06-2013 12:41 PM

Wow. Very well put together, and very tasteful indeed. Great work!

**Tweakophyte** · 06-06-2013 12:42 PM

Do you still have the black air-splitter on your car?

I like the decal job.

Which air-splitter? On the front I have the DEVAL CF lip if this is what you are referring to. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Actually it is much better IMO than decal since it has a CF pattern and it is not entirely flat on touch ... just my opinion thought.

**Diesel Clown** · 06-06-2013 02:21 PM

such a great car, MINUS those horrendous stripes.

**brbarrett** · 06-06-2013 02:42 PM

So sick. The stripes really add a lot to the cars looks. I don't know if i would do them on mine, but really sets yours apart.

I hear you ... they are not for everyone and by no means I expected everyone to like them ... all that matters is if I do right? :)

The good thing about the 3M DINOC is that 3 months from now I might go crazy on another "stripes/crazy" idea and I can simply remove those and put the new ones ... no harm done.

**SilveR316** · 06-06-2013 03:41 PM

This is my favorite build thread so far. Car looks amazing.

I've got a 2014 on order thats supposed to be delivered mid summer, and I think I'll be following this thread pretty closely for ideas. :)

Hmm ... Licensing fees come to mind :)

Thanks Buddy. Wish you a speedy delivery of your project car, I know the wait time is painful.
