Ive bought some fake Akrapovic exhaust tips that are actually really good quality. Still waiting on my car to be delivered but i'm gona create the illusion ive got the sick exhaust system without the massive price tag lol

The illusion will be there until you don't hear that Akra sound. It's in a league of its own there.

I feel you on that 100%. It's a little obscene.

Installed an Escort M2 dash cam onto the BlendMount next to the Uniden R8.

Cant tell from the pictures how you actually accomplished this. Also, what is the small black box over the infotainment screen?

Not the poster but that's a Dragy.

Really liking the set up. Where does the dash cam record video to? Is there an SD card or something?

You start with a BlendMount that holds the radar detector of your choice, then add their $6 accessory for the Escort M1 or M2 dash cam. Not sure if other dash cams will work? I saw this setup and went with it because I liked the simplicity.

And yes, the little box is a Dragy.

Comes with a 16gb micro SD card. Also comes with an app that is supposed to store the files via the dash cam wifi, but it sucks and hardly ever connects. The reviews say the same.

Thanks. This whole thing is a really cool setup. How did you wire it in?

Sorry, forgot to mention that…

It’s the MirrorTap from BlendMount. Whole thing is super simple, uses power from mirror.

Did not know they made such an accessory. Thanks. Did you move the TexTag down to avoid the dash cam?

[NoNameG42]

Took it home today. The traffic back was insane, reminds me why I move away from Bay Area. But I suppose it help with the brake-in, no constant speed/RPMs.

No, the toll tag was already there to avoid the radar detector.

Don’t forget the MirrorTap from BlendMount for your power from the mirror.

Bought some knock off Akrapovic tips to give the poor man's illusion.They are actually really good quality. I'm gona have to modify the tips off the stock exhaust as they are oval. I haven't even got the car yet lol.

Hope they fit. Aside from the need for oval fitment, the single “joint” pipe is off centre to the two outlets on the Ali Express versions.

Hence the reason i gotta cut off the stock outlets and reposition a round 90° elbow. Little bit of work but totally doable lol

After months set aside, I finally got around to swapping out the front reflectors. Initially tried without the IND tool, but it helped for sure. It’s too damn hot to do anything else🥵.

[MPR]

Ceramic coated the front wheels and calipers. Going to do the rears next weekend.

Edit: I realized 30 mins ago that I left the lug lock fitting in the lug and I've since been driving around running errands. I got in panic mode and hopped on my bike to retrace my steps and thank God I found it two blocks away (~250 feet from my home) in the middle of the road; I saw a shiny object 20 feet away and I knew it had to be it. Looks like it may have been run over but it survived and is functional.

Found bird droppings on the car this morning so...

I did use the proper spray first

Was supposed to get the roof vinyl wrapped black Friday, but GR Wraps bailed hard. No one onsite. Didn't answer my call or my text. Don't use them.

Schedule with a new guy for tomorrow and he asked all the right questions, etc. Hopefully it goes without a hitch.

Interested to see how this turns out!
