@J-Dub any new interior/exterior projects in the works?

Just waiting for my dash ends and fuse covers to come.... but I have been itching for a new project.

Anybody with experience putting a cup holder here?

Yes, the Kaizen 'cup holder' installs easily and has substantially more interior space than the stock piece. In my CTM6, I would never put a drink in it, but it is an invaluable small-item storage spot for me.

No, nothing exciting with the Cayman happening at my house in the last few weeks. i am deep in the middle of a backyard re-imagine. I have knocked down a 1 car detached garage and built a 2 car detached garage. The garage is not finished but getting closer, the crew is working on Drywall now. I had a swimming pool built and as of last Tuesday we are now swimming. I have a long road ahead of me but have been making progress. Lots to finish, landscaping etc.

To update this thread, I have done the following mods from my list.

Exhaust tips
Exclusive Sport Gas Cap
Entry & Drive dummy key fob in Carmine red to match the seat belts, tach face and deviated stitching

I did do the CV clamps last week, have not driven hard enough or long enough yet to see if they will bake the difference. Next weekend is a track day so that will be a good test.

The garage rebuild is getting close to completion. Will post an update picture in that thread soon.

Yes to pics - garage update. 718 interior updates and I'd like to see the '57 Beetle too!

Less than a month of ownership I did only cosmetic mods (aside PPF, etc.):

• clear indicator lights
• seat belt color-matched door straps
• GT4 side scoops
• RS rear aero fins
• Windschott glass wind deflector
• fitcamx dashcam
• carpokes plate mount

Fairly certain my next will be JQ Madtrace shifters with adjustable RS paddles (stock is too far for my partner's hands )
But I'm itching to add RS weissach tips for looks, though not opposed to getting akrapovic tips with slip-ons ($$$$ though).

@gzxfia
Nice start. Can you share details on the RS rear aerofins? Are these the ones that go on the side of the rear valence?

Yep, that's right. They attach using the existing bolt and hooks into the rear valence assembly.
The RS's have pre-drilled holes in the valence and use screws to attach and pull in the aero fins to eliminate gap and looks cleaner. If you don't want to drill holes into your existing valence, these are attached very securely without the extra screws, but you're left with some gap between the two pieces.

I feel they complete the look since the GT4/Spyder rear valence at the sides stick out and then abruptly ends, leaving the bumper exposed and the look is "incomplete" in a sense. Matches well with the front bumper side fin/trim. The GTS rear valence doesn't have this illusion since the valence blends well into the bumper.

Parts are:
982-807-917-OK1
982-807-918-OK1

I used this rennlist thread (this specific post) for guidance. Really don't need to remove the entire valence, just the sides and it will drop/flex enough to do everything needed.

P.S. The OEM screws are expensive for no reason ~$10/screw.
I found the audi version works just fine: N-909-899-02 ($0.15/per) or any 3/4" #12 some others have posted.

Do you have photos with the fins installed?
