    Default Getting Started

    I installed the KOTT grilles from Spyderpops yesterday. I really like the look. Big shout out to Spyderpops. The grilles are high quality and the shipping was really fast. Now, I need to get the bumpskid and BajaRon sway bar. I would have my dealer install those, as I have no way of lifting my Spyder. I also installed the Hopnel trunk and sidebag storage nets last week. They are great for keeping a travel cover and gloves, etc. in easy reach. They were less than $15 from Amazon.

    Thanks for posting the pictures on the storage nets. I like those a lot. I have a set of KOTT's and a Bumpskid waiting to be installed. I am going to do the KOTT's but am going to have the dealer do the bumpskid for me. Lifting the is also an issue for me.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    The storage nets really come in handy for utilizing the unused space in your trunks. The KOTTs were pretty easy to install. Just be sure to use rubbing alcohol to clean the area and also use the adhesive promoter as directed in the instructions. I'm going to see about having the swaybar and Bumpskid shipped directly to my dealer for installation.

    Default Painted dash

    I painted my dash to match the body color. I think it really sets it off. Big shout out to Purple Guy for the inspiration and the help in getting this done.

    I have Spyder pockets ( from WrapMySpyder.com) when I get my spyder out of hibernation I will be installing them, and I will post a picture when I get a chance. These are stuck on inside the of the side bags. Deanna

    I agree and I concur that the stainless grilles complement the Cognac color.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
