Message - carbon canister must be removed

- front washer tank must be removed (non-USDM Zeds)

- stock coolant overflow tank can stay

- ensure the piping running behind the ICs is as tight into the silicone couplers as possible. This will tuck the bottom outside edge of the IC inward and not cause a ripple crease on the fascia from contact. Test fit the fascia and adjust the ICs if they are contacting and causing the fascia to deform, especially underneath on each side.

Corner lights will have to be modified so the rearmost bulb socket is moved more to the middle. There are some mod guides on how to do this, you will need a decent hole saw, adhesive and some silicone.

- Ashspec ICs should come with custom ducts... the stock ducts are way too small and will restrict airflow. a square hole will have to be cut in the duct to allow the modified corner light to fit. Our method is to install the ICs & ducts, reinstall the fascia and use a dremel cutting burr to make the hole through the fibreglass duct in corner light area while test-fitting the corner light. Have a helper with a vacuum to suck away the fibreglass dust as you're cutting the duct hole... that white crap gets everywhere.

- The stock underside splash shields that mount below the ICs will have to be trimmed. The moulded square section that covers the stock piping will need to be cut away, as it pushes against the Ashspec piping and makes the shield deform... its easy to cut with tin snips and will mount up with a little stretching to the 3 fascia bolts on the underside of each side. Leaving these shields off will cause the fascia to spread out on the bottom and look deformed from the side and to flap free.
