Where did you get the matte carbon door and shifter trim and do they match exactly? Looks good!Put on dry carbon door panel , shifter surround and some Alcantara tach surround and window switch + Wclathe works shift knob and chasing J’s titanium gear shift symbol plate .
watch out, rodent chew on electrical wiring insulation and can cause a lot of damage.
Thank you , I got them from a company called create carbon . The shifter trim I bought on eBay and the door pieces I got from taketwoau. I believe both can be bought from taketwoau though , they sell the createcarbon pieces. Exact match for both , very happy with them. Now I want the matte carbon trim for the dash also but it’s pricey .
I plan on putting a trap under the hood when I park, if he’s still in there. So far he was only snacking on the battery cover (who could resist?!). My main fear is mice getting into the HVAC system/ interior. That smell is horrible and basically permanent. My secondary concern is wire nibbling.
How is the clutch feel with the slave cdv delete and damper delete? Big difference and how would you describe change versus stock? I’ve been wanting to do these as well!Finally got around to finalizing the clutch and brakes for the current set up.
I was blown away that I could not find a single shop to turn the rotors. O'reiley's was the only one around that would turn rotors and they said the front rotors were too big for their machine.
I had to pad slap the car but the rotors were in good shape anyways. I just did a good bedding process to help.

As simple as it sounds, no more delay or having to feel like I'm somewhat riding the clutch out of first. Much more feeling on what the clutch is actually doing and when its engaging. Slight increase in vibration through the clutch pedal but nothing bad, maybe a 10% increase in vibration felt. I also have the Hybrid Racing shifter and shifter bushings, so I am pretty far from the stock shifter setup. PFA below.
I think I need to go for this as well. Not liking the factory clutch feel at all in my 25 FL5 right now. Been some time since we owned our 23, can’t remember if that car also felt the same.As simple as it sounds, no more delay or having to feel like I'm somewhat riding the clutch out of first.

The car feels like a bolt action rifle now, no question when I'm in gear and it requires more forces on the side to side and forward and backwards. I want to say Hybrid says a 10-20% increase in required pressure.
Overall I definitely recommend the CDV delete and dampner delete if you want a more engaging driving experience with minimal if any increase in NVH.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely planning on doing this. It’s the one thing on this car that I can’t get over. How vague and long it takes for the clutch engagement. I have the acuity shifter in the box waiting to be installed as well. So I will plan to do all of these soon! Good to know this car can get even better as it’s already great!As simple as it sounds, no more delay or having to feel like I'm somewhat riding the clutch out of first.

You guys are going to make me install the turbo a lot sooner than i want to. Lol. Just ordered a new PRL P700 hardware Kit.
thanks Ebay.
