I’m not a fan of silver either. I thought the ordered was for satin white and just went with it.

So deeeeep

Finally did the Rear Fog Light enabling mod to my light selector switch.
I didn't realize the step where you pull up on the vent trim was going to take so much force. I thought I had snapped that trim in half because the edge I had grabbed flew up, but the back edge was still in place so the vent was being folded. Thankfully that plastic was ok and no break or crease in the plastic.

Now I'm ready for Northern California fog and heavy rain!.

Fixing the hitch due to some sounds that i can’t diagnose. It seems a panel is missing. Can anyone identify this empty space?

Nothing goes there.

Those mountain ranges look like in AZ.

I have no clue. Maybe some tiny aero or drainage hole...

Installed my custom instrument cluster and flocked cluster binnacle. More pics here: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...&postcount=112

That looks fantastic! What's that button on the side of the binnacle?

Hmmm, I might have to do some flocking in the future...

There are now M6 threaded bosses on both sides of the binnacle. The button (I call then "neck bolts") are some M6 dome head bolts to fill the holes until I get a RAM Mount ball (or something) to go in its/their place. The hole below the M6 boss is a USB Type-C fast charging port (RHS only).

I got a Nikon D90 as a gift so I picked up a 50mm f1.8 lens to go with it and took some pictures. It's no point-and-shoot so I need to work on my methods but I think this shot came out pretty good.

That's pretty ingenius! Great place to put your phone for nav or lap timing

Gonna steal this idea for when I get my enclosure for a in dash tablet

[MPBK]

Isn't that a lot of work to get a USB-C port? Why not a one of those cigarette lighter plugs?

[TboneS54]

Those E92 wheels look good!

It looks like maybe you could lengthen the bump stops on the hood so it sits up just a hair higher?

Because I couldn't fit a cigarette lighter port to fit in the binnacle.

But seriously, it was a fun project not "work" at all. I put the charging port there next to where I'm going to put the cell phone mount (the M6 boss) so I don't have cables draping over the dash.

Some sort of ram mount with a wireless charger integrated would be slick.

Ordered wiring stuff to finish my sports seats retrofit. I can't wait to deflate the passenger bolster so it isn't so painful to sit in the right seat (not that I do that much).

Changed my diff oil, and now I'm done with break-in!

Accuracy: 100%

Am I so predictable?

[Afam28]

Outlets
Catless downpipes(downpipe fix)
Midpipes
Axleback

All installed, final performance mod for me(for a long while) will be Dinan stage 3...
After that, visual upgrades(wheels, body, paint...etc) and routine maintenance until I decide to upgrade my turbos...
Will be happy with 450ish numbers when it's all said an done(I'm sure with the right turbos i could probably push for more but ehh)...
Was thinking meth but I don't really think that i want to travel down that road...
