I don't think this caused any issue but would like to get it up on a lift to take a closer look. Might not be a bad idea either to close up the gash in the underbody guard. Quite the scary moment on the road but could have been worse.

YIKES! Glad it wasn't worse!

Removed my ECU to ship off to femto for an unlock, while I was in the engine bay I also added some flare with the downstar dress up kit, so now that I’m down that rabbit hole I expect some carbon fiber stuff and red engine bay caps in my near future.

Yikes. Glad it didn’t do any damage. Where in the cities was that?

Looks great.
Are the door sills as easy to install as they seem?

Thanks. Yeah really simple. Just plastic clips that hold them in. Used a trim tool and just popped it up one at a time.

Yes, I believe you're correct. If we don't select the CF roof then we automatically get the sunroof. Wish we had a third option, to spec our cars like yours. If we really wanted to.

This happened in Mound on hiway 110 heading west. I tend to gravitate towards the west of home (Excelsior) to find open roads when cruising.

Man it hasn't been called HIGHWAY 110 out there since like the 1950s. You are older than I thought! 😂

Looks awesome and I know the rabbit hole your facing. I really want some carbon parts for the engine bay but even off aliexpress, can’t justify the price tag

Real bummer about that damage. Hope it gets fixed up quickly.

I'm in Plymouth, but my neighbor (M3 comp) and I love to drive through Medina, Maple Plain, Independence, etc. Equal parts scenic and open.

Don’t know places, but I can tell you it’s an easy dyi instal, if so inclined.

Dropped her off for break in service, hit 1200 miles right as I was turning into the dealer.

Lol. I did end up naming that road a bunch of harsh swear words after the incident. What should I be calling it? I must be out of the loop...

Nice! I tried to do this right at 1200. Got to the dealer with 1199 on the ODO and then drove around lot until it hit 1200.
