I bought this exact spoiler for when I receive the car. Really nice seeing it on an M2 already!!

Swapped out the shift boot and knob with an In.Focus boot and Black Forest Industries weighted knob.

Thanks! It’s a bit heavier. Nicer leather. Not a night-and-day difference but I’ve always had BFI knobs in my VWs so am just used to the feel.

Very nice! How easy it is to replace the shifter or boot?

mrjbb77 · 05-24-2023, 02:17 PM

I installed CF air inlets for the front, IND black M2 badge, CF trunk lip and black chrome exhaust tips.

Going to the shop today to get lowered on MMR springs and 15mm f and 18mm r spacers.

Adding a short shifter as well.

I have a valvetronic single Midpipe on order and RK tunes intakes on the way!! More to come!! Here she is next to my 992 GT3!

Nice. Would be interested to see photos. Those are thick spacers.

Can you show us the front to see those beautiful inlets

Tuxon_Speed · 05-24-2023, 07:50 PM

Installed KW HAS kit and Macht Schnell spacers.

Both front and rear are dropped as low as they could go.

Spacers - 15mm in the front. 18mm in the rear. Could probably go a bit more aggressive in the front but I’ll hold off for now because I’ve just ordered wheels.

Ride quality is a bit more stiff but I enjoy the way it feels. So not a bad change in my opinion.

Video coming end of week!!!

Curious as to how the CF inlet install was. Would love to see a vid/hear a write up on it!

Not hard. But I’ve replaced boots and knobs on most every car I’ve had for years.

Basically just pull up on the boot and the boot and frame come right out. Then yank really hard on the stock knob and it pops off.

Then I just removed the old boot and knob and carefully pulled out all the staples that held the boot in. Didn’t wanna crack the plastic frame. Fit the new boot on and cut holes to hold it to the frame via the frame clips and fixed the corners down with a hot glue gun. Put the new knob in place and held the boot up to it with a zip tie. Took about an hour total. Used a boot sized for a Lancer Evolution X.

You have to cut the oem inlets where the center bar runs across. That has to go for the MP CF inlets to be able to be placed into the vent area.

I used a small electric saw, I was VERY careful not to cut into anything I wasn't supposed to so it took me about 10 min each side to cut properly and then I washed the area with soap and water and then dried and placed the MP CF inlets in there with the 3M tape that it comes with, perfect fitment.

Pretty easy.
