Thanks! How’s the weave and quality? I have the full MHC kit but tempted to swap the spoiler for this.

How did you remove the OEM shifter? Was it a big job? Did the whole shifter and boot need to be removed? Any special tools? Looks good. I have a Sportshifter custom one on the way...so interested.

Does this Alpha 1 amp make the entire system sound better & more rich... ?

Yes and can improve the existing HK speakers, or go all in and upgrade them as well.

Yes. The amp is the only thing I’ve upgraded within the sound system and I’m very pleased with the improvement. I’ll probably opt for the underseat subs next.

I think the weave and quality is just fine! I also have ADRO and Vorsteiner parts on the car and can’t really tell a difference; the duckbill is 100% worth the price. Here’s some pictures in better lighting

Installed the R44 front fender liner clearance kit so can go wider tires in the front without rubbing. Definitely much more clearance now. Also installed Maxton v5 front lip and v4 sides and rears. Chose that lip as it was more conservative without killing front ground clearance but still ended up being more aggressive than anticipated.

Got my Xmas/B-day gift care of VIBE Motorosports and Vossen's Cyber Monday/Black Friday sale last month. Just delivered Vossen HF-5 wheels in Anthracite Gray clear finish in OEM fitment for my M2. Installation went well yesterday with swap out of my OEM Michelin PS4 set up in 19" and 20" staggered and move over of my TPMSs to the new wheels. Pleased with the setup and fitment...and overall Tom O at ViBE was great to work with.

Ceramic coated wheels with one coat of Crystal Armor wheel and another AmmoNYC Reflex Pro II ceramic to deal with brake dust until can source good set of pads to replace OEM ones in the spring. Car is lowered on Eibach Sport Springs and thankfully no spacers were required!

Installed some goodies today.

MHC front lip
18mm wheel spacers rears
15mm wheel spacers fronts

No rub full lock. 18mm in fronts will def. Rub IMO. I’m also considering changing my suspension to something else for more adjustability. Factory MP HAS kit, imo kind of waste of money if you want more low than this.

Note: I’m on MP HAS kit from factory. Maxed out

Looks great! I had MHC lip on order but cancelled out of fear of being low and got a Maxton which I ended up cracking. I still want that MHC!

FYI, I’m on 18mm macht schnell spacers front and rear and do not rub on KW HAS. It’s low but not max low.

Great front lip. I did not have any fitment issues. Went up perfect.

I guess I need to give it a try. I’m assuming it would, considering full lock is pretty close. I do know the liners seems to be redesigned from past issues of rubbing. But not sure how true that is from previous year.

In the Uk our exhausts are strangled by filters, the stock system is really heavy as well. Replacing it with qual length mid and Mperformance titanium back box.
