I never really understood the design choice of putting chrome under the clear plastic area. There's no other chrome on the whole car (including exhaust tips) outside of the rim of the BMW roundels and original M2 bagdes.

On the BSM it’s not that bad since the black kind of ties everything together well. But like any other color then you have like 3 different color clashing. chrome, red, and whatever the car color is. Just looks weird. IMO

Yeah pretty much. There's a kit for it online (with a blackout square for the side reflector as well) but I just had my tint/ppf guy do it.

Yeah did the same thing...pulled off the OEM spoiler and added Keis one in CF. Easy peasy. Used Eraser wheel and cordless drill which made removal of OEM adhesive much easier.

Then off for 35% tint ceramic....and a few Blackline billet engine caps in blue [other colors available]. So am looking the part more now.

Thanks!!! These intakes are obviously for sound and aesthetics. No CEL and the whooshes are insane. RK titanium uses the biggest pipe at 3.5inches and really creates a presence in the engine bay. The custom coloring is the icing on the cake!

Highly recommend RK titanium and hand made in the USA. Please don’t go the china route.

Hey guys, my car's suspension became extremely stiff in the last couple of days. I'm at 4000 miles. The shipping blocks aren't still on. When I cycle through the chassis modes, I don't notice a difference at all. I believe a positive voltage on the dampers causes them to loosen, so I'm wondering if I lost power to them or something. Does anyone know how to check that? I'm guessing a multimeter, but what wires?

I am planning to have a battery tender on my car for the winter months. Do I need to worry about putting Stabil in the gas and getting flat spots in the tires? I do plan on starting it up every couple weeks, and will drive around the block a few times when the roads are clear. Garage is heated and temp will be about 55 F.
I stored mine last winter (Minnesota) in a garage that is kept just above freezing. Had a tender on it, and mostly full of non oxy 91. I had no issues in the spring.
