Nice... liking your A-pillar dials, did you fit those or get someone to do them for you? Curious about the route used through the firewall, a job I have on the list for ages...

Fitted them myself.

Used these gauges -

Wired into cig lighter wiring for power and illumination.

Oil temp and pressure senders fitted to a sandwich plate between the filter and block and wiring run through the firewall on the passenger side.

The A pillar pods need a little trimming with a stanley knife as they are generic pods but got them to fit perfect in the end.

Liking the CF front HKS spoiler. If it was my FTO though I'd be looking to complete the CF look - instead of going for wide arches you should consider a carbon bootlid and a CF overlay on the roof plus A and C pillars.

+1 on the carbon look, would look great without ruining the clean lines the FTO has.

I'm planning on just painting the roof a high gloss black to help tie in the carbon fibre but there is a guy on the ftooc who is about start selling a complete carbon replacement roof for around £1500.

Never have to worry about roof rust again which luckily I dont have anyway!

When the weathe warms up a bit I will also be carbon overlaying the spoiler blade.

Big money and an even bigger job! I reckon money could be better spent IMO...

Why not do a carbon overlay on the roof?? There's an overlay available for the Zed, which just basically sticks on top of the roof, can be gotten for £400 or there abouts!

I'd be so afraid that it'd blow off..
