[QUOTE=IEDEI;16464563if it's a visible difference...you know we demand photos! [/QUOTE]

I will get some photos in the next week or two. Subtle difference, but the 1series enthusiast crowd will see it!

Hell, I'm off work next week. Greg, start driving east on Saturday, get here on Monday, then by the time you return to SoCal you'll have another 4K miles on her! Could probably even be talked into moving my wife's car out of the garage so the two 135is's can sleep together... wait a minute... scratch that. We may end up in a couple of months with a litter of 2 series Active Tourers...

That's 23.5K of enjoyment! Our cars are both about 11 months old, when did you get yours? I just passed 10K.

I think EIDEI has photo skills... he probably has some serious glass hidden in a camera bag somewhere. Can't wait to see some photos and video!

Lol. No need to get me involved, greg. Just crossed 2,600. Almost at 2,700 already and its only been 13 months or so. We have a 'lil thing here called "winter". And I work from home.

But when I need to make a beer run, man is this car fast.

My folks live in Mt.Baldy

I grew up driving that road fast every day.

I'll see you up there

Good luck with the installation. Looking forward to the photos!

I'm definitely excited to see how this looks. Pictures ASAP!

Keep seeing a nice white 135is around Charlottesville, VA. Anyone's on here?

Hope you guys have some lovely shots coming up of 2 135is's + the VO 1M. Make sure you show off your Dinan badge in at least one of them. =P

I'm a tech at Encinitas, and whenever an "is" car comes in, I tell them what number they have and for them to check out this thread.

Ah! I know his car as I remember watching his videos on youtube before I placed my order in February of 2013 as I awaited my order! Would also explain why his number is so low. Wow that brings back memories to hearing the PE videos for the first time.

Skirts are done! Bit of a pain getting the door sills off, but install wasn't TOO bad. Larger images here:

Those look really nice. Always admired the Performance side skirts but didn't really love that Performance front bumper as I imagined you don't either and that's why you passed on it. Congrats on the install.

That is really cool. Would be fun the guys at my local dealer's service department showed any love at all towards my 135is...

Looks really nice! Great job! How long did it take, and what was the PITA factor, perhaps measured in F-bombs dropped during the install?

For the scoop, where does the air end up?

I believe the air routes up under the car and is the source for the ventilated seats that come with the side skirts (the faster you go, the more air up your skirt....).

Worra, congrats - looks nice!
