Install is pretty simple. Use a trim removal tool for the upper portion. You will decompress the clips to free it from the bumper. The bottom are just held in by a few screws and 2 clips.

Love it so far. Much different than my Supra. Feels slow for now but excited to open it up soon

A lot has been done since I last posted here. You can see the Alpha-N CF GT front lip and the black front M2 badge from IND.

Under the hood we added a CSF manifold, ID 1050x injectors, NGK plugs, Visconti Reflex+ kit for port injection control, CSF Heat Exchanger, and a Visconti Fuel Pump kit in the tank.

The car is running full Ignite Red now. Had it on the dyno for 3 hours on Thursday, but we were having issues with the reflex. Best numbers we were able to see in 6th were 725whp/700wtq.

Got it sorted out on the street on the way to the track yesterday. First test 60-130 was 5.8s, but we still have more in it. I tried to sent it at a track rental yesterday, but it was too cold and I couldn't get enough heat in the tires to make a real pass. Going back tomorrow.

70% Xpel windshield tint.
I had one done with no shade just for heat protection but there was an imperfection on the material. Installer replaced it for free and decided to go with 70% shade.

Press the M1 button before starting the car. Assuming you have your M1 button set up with Sport settings. If you're referring to the Sport display, yeah doesn't work.

Nice build. Seems like you have one of the most modded G87s on here. What shop is doing your install and dyno tuning? Also, I imagine the Ignite Red is only for the track because it’s $$$. I’ve been running E85 on Subarus for almost 15 years. It’s E70 blend now but should see it up to E80-85 before summer. It’s cheap and makes a lot more power than 93 but it burns quick. Probably 13 mpg in my STi on E85.

Yeah, that is what I worked out. I actually don't care so much about the sport display, I really like seeing the map, etc. I don't want to need to press a button but oh well.

But at that dude from Korea can help you sort out the display<->mode problem for a couple hundred bucks.

Yeah I can save a couple hundred $ and press a button each time I get in the car. We've gotten ridiculously lazy as a species

Autocraft BMW did the work and GTP remote tuned the car on Wayne Speed's dyno. Sean at Autocraft and Wayne at Wayne Speed have been great. GTP as well, above and beyond tuning the car while I'm doing street pulls on the way to the track.

The Ignite is just for when I feel like really pushing it. I have a kill map for that fuel, then I have a flex map for 93-pump e.

That’s the perfect front lip, just wish someone else would come out with a cheaper, non CF version of this.
