Hello peeps,
Been a long time since I've been on here and posted, that's my bad.
Work after the pandemic has been full steam ahead, 1000mph! However, I haven't been idle with the Abarth. I've added a couple more things to it and still looking for more. Here is what I have done so far. Much more to come!!!
Parts installed:
Tork Motorsports upgrade valve spring kit
Eibach lowering springs
Diode Dynamics LED headlight bulbs
Red Carbon fiber wrap
The install for the valve kit was not as bad as I thought it would be, kind of got in my head with it. However once I started taking the parts off it went pretty smooth. I did everything myself over the weekend and also replaced all the gaskets with the gasket kit from Tork. I replaced the multi air filter even thought I only have 54k miles on it and as you can see it's a bit dirty. Also had the valve cover painted to match the color of the car.

Eiback lowering springs was easy and straight forward. The only modification I had to do was make the hole were the rear bump stops go wider so that I could secure them to the base.

Diode Dynamics headlights was a fantastic upgrade to the visibility driving at night. This should of been one of my earlier modes! This install took a bit longer that expected as you have to make sure you are installing the bulb correctly to the headlight housing. It took me a bit to figure out how to turn the bulb so that the light projected matched the stock light projection. I also added the anti flicker module to this setup and it's amazing
The amount of light output compared to the stock is unbelievable!!

Now the last little mode I did was wrap my dash in red carbon fiber. This was the most time consuming and most difficult install I have done to my car to date!! I had to get help in order to have it come out great. I bought the wrap from Wish, and maybe that was the problem but the end result came out fantastic. You need to get this wrap HOT but not too hot to were you melt it or damage the material, it's really cheap so it took a lot of burnt fingers to get his one right. I also painted the 500 badge and the 3 rings in the center flat black.
