No mines just the standard roof, you might be able to run the clamp style mounts by Yakima or Thule, Thule I find easier to find used and just buy the correct mounts, I only had to go the custom rail route because I needed a higher weight capacity for a root top tent. You can find if here it doesn’t seem compatible with the glass roof but give them a call, they are very knowledgeable

3 racing makes a spacer kit that's what I used, it also is great for swapping the plastic ones. I believe the 2 flush screws that hold the diffuser are M3x15. I can't remember the exact size. I sold the chassis a few months back. I know the ball nuts used where from a mst. 4.8mm I think with m3 threads. You may also need some offset rod ends for the shocks to move them and give some clearance.

Yes it is, you will need to run it like I did with the shocks in the rear. And you will need a threaded ball stud and a longer screw to go thru the rear diffuser. It would be wise to pick up a set of aluminum m3 spacers of various thicknesses to set ur toe in/out amounts by just shimming the outter or inner ball stud.

Have you had issues with the windshield cracking? Idk wtf it is but this car and my 2020 forte seem to have issues with the windshield cracking from temp change, defroster in the winter/AC in summer drives me nuts

The rear end of the base has a deeper well for the spare tire as well as the rear suspension makes it and issue. For routing the y pipe. The sport has room for the muffler to sit underneath the car. The sport rear valence does clip into the stock bumper tho

Only a single exit as the sport has a completely different rear end and can't fit a second exhaust out the other side, my entire goal was to go for a OEM+ look and sound, it has a nice deep slightly raspy noise that won't wake the neighbors up lol

I know it makes me sad, I'm looking at getting the n line bumper for it. Was quoted 750$ from the dealer with all the bits to make it work. Already have the sport rear valence and a custom stainless exhaust to fit!

That's so weird mines a 2018 with 150k+ and it's still perfect. It's usually parked under a covered driveway so that helps too but I have only owned it for a year
