Mine are Brooklyn Grey and ceramic coated. With the Girodisc pads, the calipers don't get that dirty.

If it were my car, I would go white but obviously it's your call. In any event, if you haven't already done so, replace the OEM pads to keep dust down (especially with those rims).

I gave the keyfob a little $10 alcantera keychain to match the stitching with the interior. I just noticed that the "stitching" isn't real! But it's cheap and looks nice.
Lets see if it holds up over time:

You can get them on amazon and cut the factory vents off in under an hour.
They make a world of difference. I went from 275s up front with only 2-3mm of clearance to 285s up front now with plenty of clearance.

Im just waiting on the carbon engine cover and a few other bits, the m- performance exhaust combined with the opf x-pipe equal length sounds unreal, I've turned off the pops and bangs via the leib exhaust can pro. I fitted the opf delete modules however it still brought cel light on so i fitted the leib exhaust can pro to resolve this issue, the leib pro also allows you to turn on/off various other options and being able to turn cold start off is a great feature as well as many others. i was going to add the csl engine brace and might still however for now ive painted the oe brace red.

Gold 1000m wheels next

Put a jackstand, block, tire or something under the car so when the jack fails, a body part won't be crushed.

Yes, jacks fail.
Or just buy this simple tool instead...

My kids are 3 years and 6 months. Honestly not bad at all. I did flip the 3 year olds Rava forward facing so he can just climb in. For the 6 month old I was using an Uppababy infant seat (what’s in the photo) with the belt versus the base as it allowed more room for the front passenger. But recently I switched to Evenflo 360 Slim for the infant and it works great. Easy to load the baby in and spin it around. Front passenger is tighter but my wife is short.

shifter is sitting at an angle.. going to reach out to TMS and see if they can help me out.
Did the same today! That rubber boot was a nightmare! No issues with the angle that I have noticed on mine.

Installed the MAD skid plate, did the fender mod, and installed some green DRLs.

Tomorrow it goes in for tint, some PPF, and ceramic coating.

one hell of a nightmare!!! lol TMS sent the upper shifter and didn't fix the issue… and now they are sending the lower shifter tomorrow so hopefully this fixes it and I can patch it all back up, but that means I have to take off this shift boot again.

how do you like the SSK?
