Add my name to the list by end of year. Wife and I decided to get out of DFW and closer to Jester King. 😉

My brother lives down there and I gotta say...why would anyone want to move TO Austin now

Yeah Jester King and ABGB are alright but you have Celestial and Turning Point here, and a lot fewer dead bodies in the streets. Austin jumped the shark 10 years ago!

Ha. Suffice it to say, our list of reasons are a little too long and personal to list out in a public forum. 😉 Grew up in South TX and know ‘old’ Austin very well.

P.S.: I know Celestial ALL too well.

Mundane activity. Color matching with the sky but this ain’t Brooklyn.

LAGWAGN · 04-25-2024, 02:24 PM

Picked up the car from Xpel. Full front, a-pillar, roof and rockers. Front and rear reflectors tinted.

I also brought the Roadster home from getting a new top. Father and son…

Cool take!

Just slapped a ceramic coating on the car after getting it back from ppf.
Also added 12mm spacers all around to prep for the new wheels.

AZG87 · 04-25-2024, 06:55 PM

Ceramic coated the SLAs today.

Looks great. What % tint is that all around?

To be honest, I wish I knew. I bought the car used (90 miles) and the PO had it done at the dealership. If I had to guess, it looks like legal limit (25%).

ttaidapos · 04-26-2024, 05:57 PM

2nd proper wash since I got it in November. Been doing my own touchless since.

Various non performance mods, will open a new thread once I have time. Tints, ceramic, track pack PPF, MP HAS, 50th all around. Finally got my custom 1000M in 19/20 size. Car is finally complete!

LeggoRacing · 04-26-2024, 06:05 PM

Installed a new IRL midpipe today. Wow what a difference. (still have to add the valve controller in, but happy so far)

Easy install and great quality product.

kevinG87 · 04-26-2024, 06:15 PM

I purchased my m2 today.

Gonna post any sound clips? I would like a midpipe as well and trying to narrow down which one to get.

I posted this. No outside driving videos yet.

I have the valve controllers as well but haven't put them in yet. Sounds great to me so far.

That does sound great!

NoMoreVW · 04-30-2024, 05:42 PM

Completed break in service! Holy cow; this thing pulls hard and sounds so good when unleashed! I think I only went to a little over 6k, but got damn!

kanpan · 05-01-2024, 07:43 AM

Break in service completed, finally!!!
And I finally figured out what M sound does

Mr.McNutty · 05-01-2024, 04:16 PM

Another fun day of cleaning. Took off all four wheels to thoroughly clean them and hit the calipers and springs while I was at it.
