Programmed the "anti-dazzle" lights with Bimmercode. Can see the lights dancing around, but don't know if I dig it yet.

No anti-dazzle leaves the high beams on at all times (over a certain speed) and just turns off portions of the lights to keep from blinding cars when it senses them.

Ok I seriously love the look of this! Any concerns from you or anyone else with regard to heavy downpours and water entry? Mainly thinking about when parked outdoors, etc.?

It doesn't keep them on at all times. If you're close to a car in front of you, they turn off, if they hit off road signs, they shut off, if you're on a 4-lane highway, etc.

"Interactive headlights, that adjust beam pattern for optimum light output. Namely, active lighting that adjusts the beam pattern as to not "dazzle" with light, as the oncoming vehicle approaches. And would also turn that drivers side outer beam off, or adjust it away from the oncoming vehicle, in real time."

I'm in North Carolina, it down poured today at work for about 6 hours - no issues. Everything is sealed, nothing to worry about.

I just love seeing the M colors through the vent too - I have RK front intakes coming, going to be a lot of turbo noises and I'm excited.

I'm in SC. Very curious and impressive that everything stayed dry with that rain yesterday. Looking good.

The 3M IR blocking film is a must in Texas summers.

Current plan is to do front end and full hood

Oh you meant windshield tint. I though you were referring too windshield PPF which is a thing now.

I’m planning the same front end, full hood, full side skirts and rear bumper sides.

I’ll ask for the carbon roof PPF quote and decide if it’s worth it.

Finally had time to install the MHC+ front ducts and Stradale design centrer and side mesh. I was surprised how easy was to remove the bumper (following a youtube video, of course!). Disconnecting the sensors was a learning curve since we have a different version from the one showing in the video. One big struggle was the fact the car is ceramic coated and we had to work around it to get the 3M tape to stick. Then the sensor holder shape in one of the front ducts was not as refined, having to try multiple times to get a flushed finish. The other side was fine but part of the sensor holder broke off on the first attempt. The sensor is secured but that was quite dissapointing. The side mesh were super easy to install but the center one had to be muscled into place.

Overall, very happy with the look.
