Finally got the ducts in from the dealer and my performance grilles! Will hopefully get the car out in the next week.

Still have stoptech rotors and cool carbon pads to install.

Also toying at the idea of getting a new intercooler.

Been contemplating about going ER and redoing all the intercooler piping seeing as they just came out with an "intercooler to turbo" pipe. Also, does anyone with a 1M run their carbon shroud? If so do you have pictures?

If anyone has an recommendations on other intercoolers for the n55 that come will plumbing let me know! I am not totally set on ER yet

Worst part about these projects is waiting for parts.. ordered my front apex arc-8s a month ago and UPS lost them! Figures... Guess I will have to roll on Steeles for now.. just want my car back already! We only have about 4 months of nice weather in Ontario and I have already lost one

On top of the UPS issue, I had a friend in buffalo holding onto the 1M molded side skirts for me however he is now MIA, heat gun method will be used for now. Hopefully I can get my skirts one day lol :

Nope, unfortunately I think they are a lost cause. Just more motivation to do the rear this winter!

Waiting for parts still, ordered some lux and chrome cover signal bulbs. Also got a new fan for my car as mine stopped working.

Decided I would take a few pictures of my car while it was outside and the sun was setting!

Ignore the pizza cutters

Thanks!! The pictures just don't do the colour justice! The amount of metallic flake in it is really eye catching!
