-seatbelt chimes(I wear my seatbelt religiously)

I already had roll up and down windows with key fob.

Missing any? Those are the ones that bothered me the most.

Are you disabling the cold bulb check because you have aftermarket bulbs?

You can code the key ejecting ?

I hav notice key eject only work on some models

I'm still not sold on the spoiler. Although it looks great in the second pic

Took it for an hour and a half long night drive. 75 degrees, all windows down, no B pillar and a night drive trance playlist....

Also had to make some modification to cushioning because it was uneven in the middle back section. Next step is to code out active headrest because my car is LCI.

If you wanted to keep the active head rests, you could swap them over, it's an easy swap, a guy over here in the UK has done a YouTube video.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually kind of like the look of the sport headrests with stitching more. A little less work too, lol

Started headlight clearing process from the last failed attempt using a shit method. Just use sandpaper (400-2k) compound, and polish. Don't mind the tape peeling off. I'm having the bumper resprayed since someone hit me at a stop sign...head on.

Gamb1t · 03-10-2019, 01:14 PM

It was a nice day. Opened it up on the highway. Man I love the growl of the inline 6!

S65Hunter · 03-10-2019, 01:54 PM

Finally realized why my cruise control would only work half of the time..... I never knew CC wouldn't work if you had DSC turned off.....silly me

So you went down to 400? Wet sand? My kit only went down to 1000 but I'm thinking of going lower

don't go any coarser grit than needed.

if you can't feel anything that hangs a nail when you scrape it there's no reason to go that aggressive. You're just creating more sanding for yourself.

I started at 800 when I did mine.
finished with a buffer and plasticx.

I replaced my engine-chassis ground strap.
generic 9" ground strap is the right length. sum total of $8 for a tinned copper one.

Hxngs · 03-10-2019, 09:34 PM

Washed it and Vacuumed it.

iScramble · 03-10-2019, 10:16 PM

Paid it off!

Lost808 · 03-10-2019, 11:20 PM

Slowly wrapping the walnut wood trim in dry carbon. First time doing wrap, so not too bad but need to clean up some spots. Now for the center console and upper dash trim.

Yeah. Wetsand till you get to 2k (or 1k) and then compound + polish. Seal it with a nice 3M clear film and call it done for a few years.

I used 1k to 3k wetsanding and then used Meguiars Headlight Coating. Still very good after several years.

bluewater328 · 03-11-2019, 02:19 PM

This was over the weekend...

Threw on the front set of Eibach Pro Kit 2085.14 springs. Eagerly awaiting for them to settle into drop. Had a concern about how low the back on sport springs already were. Waiting for front to drop before putting Eibach rear springs in to test.

Had a underbelly panel get banged up on the freeway to the point it was hanging...pulled it on the side of the freeway. Forgot that a few screws connected to the next panel...pulled that (also on side of freeway) after it also started dragging. Started hunting junkyards for new pieces.

Replaced beat-up passenger door handle pull.

Replaced air filter in Euro airbox for a K&N just to hear sound difference. LOL

Fiddled with drivers cup holder...got it springing out again for a few hours...got in the car the morning after, and apparently I have to go back in.

Replaced worn shifter surround.

Got the kids to help wash her.
