working on getting the Meisterschaft exhaust to be installed in the next week or two? just placed my order on the QTP wireless remotes as well as the Intermediate wires. for those who are not familiar with EVC basically some aftermarket exhaust systems allows the user to control the sound level and exhaust back pressure.



so here's the QTP wireless kit i ordered


and these are the Intermediate wires that plug into the wireless kit and into the exaust motor flap where i circled in red

I think I lucked out... Bought a Vorsteiner replica CF diffuser for my F10 for $250 shipped on eBay lol. Best of all, it's shipping from CA! It was the last one so the seller had the price slashed by $100.

I'll let everyone know the quality and fitment when it arrives. Seller has a return policy so if worse comes to worst I'll just return it if fitment is bad.

An update on that; my carbon fiber mirrors got lost during shipping. I got a refund from the seller and USPS will provide them with a refund - maybe I'll get lucky and one of these days they'll show up at my door lol

So i placed an order on a new PU front splitter since the one i got was a bit short which measures 66.75×14.5". The one i found is 67"×24" so it should flush with the front wheel well.this time. Also, got a pretty good quote from a reputable muffler shop to install my Meisterschaft exhaust at $65 per side so $130! Not bad especially when he confirmed he'll make it pretty and finally confirmed with the Auto body shop that I'll drop off the rear bumper /skirts for paint on Monday

Gloss black Double slatte grills are in! However my carbon rings dont line up to the tabs as you can see the single slot grooves on the ring. So I'll just have to use the double slatte as is
