Everything stock , just no resonator single mid pipe and valve controller .

Is the install for it pretty straight forward?
It sounds amazing. Yeah indeed, you don’t need to ever think about it after installation since it’s integrated right into the OE sound button.

It is straight forward, however it’s all electrical wiring, so I had mine done at European Auto Source since it’s 20 mins from where I live.

That's awesome.
I'd like to think I can do it on my own but electrical can get a little sketchy for me haha. I assume shop price isn't too bad.

I'll definitely be adding this to the list.

Plenty of instructions for you or your shop online here in various threads. You can get it from EAS online. You’ll love it! Install price isn’t terrible.

Honestly I was going to stick with the OEM valve setup and controls on my Valvetronic but it was a much too quiet with the max opening of the stock flaps.

When I installed the valvetronic controller and solenoids, I expected to be switching from full open to full closed pretty often.

In the month I've had it, I have closed the valves a grand total of 3 times - all just to show friends the difference

Autotechnik. That part isn’t bad, I’d avoid the inlet ducts though.

Expel Stealth PPF

Been wanting a car with the frozen look for a long time so I went with the Expel Stealth PPF, along with some badge swaps (main badges, M2 trunk badge, wheel caps). I really could not be happier with how the car turned out and photos really do not do a good job capturing how amazing the stealth PPF looks.

Looking solid! Did you notice any significant weight difference vs your previous SLAs? I assume you specced the offset on the fronts just a tad further out than the last go around?

Randomly peaking around my engine and found an empty slot at the left corner of the engine

That spot is reserved for vehicles equipped with A/C. In all seriousness though, yes it’s normal.

Looks amazing. Did you install a set of wheel well vent cut outs up front to avoid rubbing? I’ve seen some people suggest temu ones but curious what you are running and if you needed them with the high offset and lowered.

Not rcouchh but on my 19x10 et12 on the fronts I was rubbing a bit in reverse (and maybe forward but didn't make noise like reverse) so I installed the aliexpress vent cut outs and the rubbing is all gone.
