I'm surprised I've never seen your car. It's pretty badass and very unique. I've worked in Oregon for 11+ years, so I have to imagine we crossed paths at some point in the past!

Installed the Gentlemen Function switch and coded it. The hardest part was swapping the plastic backing plate (the plug orientation is backwards). When reinstalling, insert the back of the switch 1st as there is a little "hook" that sits behind the door panel. I can't wait to freak-out my wife!!

I may be frowned upon, but I've never heard of that. What is it?

Consider yourself frowned upon!!

In a nutshell it allows the driver to move the front passenger seat.

I FINALLY got my winter wheels/tires. It was almost 6 weeks. Discount tire said they had them for two weeks and called me multiple times. They looked my account up with my cell # so I know they have the right number. No missed calls and no voicemails..I smell BS. Super dirty because we got snow overnight.

Sound is nice but there is some drone from 1500-1900rpm range. I have not noticed any power gains. But The car is pretty much stock.

I just finished my standard heated steering wheel swap to an Msport heated steering wheel with paddles. This is awesome! The thickness of the wheel makes the car feel very sporty.

So, after promising myself only to install a set of spacers I ended up also painting the callipers, adding a roof spoiler and mini rear diffuser....as you do And then just to really rub it in, decided she also needed the M5 comp style wing/side mirrors. Although those are coming from China, so should be here hopefully in the next decade.
I think I'm almost there now for what I wanted. Just suspension and wheels to go! ...which I've already selected. Just need to fill up the piggy bank and get them ordered

I have had some oil/exhaust fumes inside the car, after some maintenance this weekend I noticed the passenger side crankcase vent hose was broken in half and brittle so I replaced it, also replaced the leaking turbo coolant lines on top. Drivers side crankcase vent hose is fine for now but I will replace it and the lower y turbo coolant hoses in a few weeks.

ordered 4 4" cf tips with burnt blue to replace my existing tips since I don't like how my exhaust tips sit too inside the diffuser. meant to do this when I first put the exhaust on but other financial things came up. this top view shows what I mean plus I wanted larger tips than the 3.5" it comes with
