Installed oiomotors fender liner units to eliminate rubbing, and installed Megachip splash guards. Too boring to take a photo but everything works!

I bought smoked front reflectors from eBay, meant to fit a G42, which I figured would also fit the G87. Apparently not 🙄. They are so close, very weird that they made one specifically for the G87. They are only a few mm larger.

I went on a 65 mile rip yesterday trying to find some new roads to cruise on. I swear there are days where I feel perfect with the 6mt shifts, but yesterday I wasn't dialed in, especially the 1 to 2nd gear upshifts. Either way the car feels so strong and just angry ripping through the RPM's. I am so pleased with how grippy the car is from a dig and in the lower gears in all drive modes. Makes me second guess wanting to get the Racechip tuning box.

I did pick up some IND rock guards but have not installed them yet. I do have some nicks behind the rear wheels inside the wheel well, nothing on the outside paint. I'm running 15mm front, and 18 rear for spacers. I plan to get those guards installed this week.

Over the last week

- Edelweiss Wheels 21"/20" LT3 in Champagne
- - 9.5 kg | 10.5x20 ET14 for 285/30 R20
- - 10.3 kg | 11x21 ET12 for 305/25 R21
- Alpha-N Front Grille
- MHC Front Ducts
- MHC Front Splitter
- MHC Side Skirts
- MHC Rear Diffuser Set
- MHC V Style Rear Spoiler

Ever since I put on the wheels the car has been getting like 10x the attention. Not sure I'm happy about that, but I do love them.

The MHC stuff is expensive, but the fitment is bang on.

Nicely done! Yeah my car gets a lot of attention everywhere I go as well. Came out of the grocery store the other day and some guy was walking around it videoing the car. He had tons of questions!

What are your thoughts on the Alpha N grill? I’ve been eyeing that one as well!

My thoughts are that it's probably _way_ too expensive for a grille. $1,500 is kind of nuts. But hey, I only have to buy it once, and it looks amazing in person.

I was debating between that, the Autotecknic single slat, or a CSL style grille.

I looked at and compared pictures for days. I love the simplicity of the Alpha-N, and there didn't seem to be many people installing single slat grilles; whereas the CSL style seems quite popular.

Not sure if it was just the pictures or the cost playing tricks on me, but the Alpha-N appeared sleeker in all the pictures I reviewed.

Fitment is 10/10.

Thanks! Great intel! Yeah I might pick this grill up too and tackle the install when I’m doing the MHC front center carbon bumper trim!

Oh, nice! That piece wasn't available yet when I placed my order or I would have included it.

I'll get it some day, when I feel like taking the bumper off. I'm done letting other folks work on my car.

I'll be looking out to see how the install went! Drop me a line if you need a hand.

Sounds good! Here is the picture that R44 sent me of the piece with their front lip installed also.

Awesome. It's the last piece on my front bumper that isn't carbon. Kind of stands out.

Have you placed the order yet? Did they gave you ETA, if so?

Today at my dealer I got the m performance wheel installed, very pleased with the outcome! Alcantara kneepads are coming in this week.

Looks good. I’m holding off to see if I can get the new flat bottom wheel or if they make a M performance variant of it.

LCI steering wheel crossed my mind, but you’ll need more parts (inlay cannot be transfered). I got a 20% reduction on M Performance parts till end of August.
