24 Liquid Carbon Type-S Intro & Build

[TwinSkrullDesign]

Sent my spare OEM steering wheel to Swedit for some custom upholstery. Had Aaron incorporate a red leather sample from my seats as the 12 o’clock hash mark. Car is still in storage, so it’ll be a few weeks before I’ll install it.

Pulled the Type-S out of storage and swapped out my OEM Alcantara steering wheel for a custom Sweidit perforated Alcantara wheel. Aaron also incorporated a red leather swatch from my Recaros as the 12 o’clock hash mark. This is my fourth or fifth interior bit that Aaron Shin has done for me and everything has turned out excellent. He does top notch work…shoot him a PM with any interior requests.

I shattered my hex bit trying to loosen the wheel. Good thing I have four every tool… 🫤

Have a few more miscellaneous parts I’ll be installing this spring, so stay tuned.

Car is looking great! Love all the new additions. Still happy with the Apexi? Keep thinking about getting one to try.

Thanks! Wasn’t sure if I liked the exhaust at first but it’s grown on me. When it’s mated to a front pipe and downpipe, you will get a little drone / resonance around highway speeds but it’s not horrible.

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about. Did you find that the DP alone added anything to the exhaust note, for better or worse? I’m not trying to turn heads, just get a little more growl in the cabin.

A downpipe on these cars is a worthwhile mod. It does add a little snarl to the ITS and a noticeable bump in performance / turbo spool, etc.
