Vanity plates finally arrived! Surrounded it with the M Performance v2 black steel license plate frame.

I discovered late this afternoon that I can't access the rear bumper 20mm Torx screw due to how close the tire is now thanks to the 12mm spacers. I'll have to take another run at installing the rear painted reflectors tomorrow in the am.

This one is a real knuckle buster, my large hands don't fit very well behind that bumper. A bit of perseverance and a stock of band aids are useful for this project.

Replacing the rear reflectors is certainly more complex and laborious than swapping the fronts but not overly difficult. I really like how they clean up the look of the rear end, and as always the IND paint match is spot on.

Discovered yesterday afternoon that my new Schwaben brake pressure bleeder couldn't hold pressure, which I determined to be caused by the fitting from the tank to the connecting tube and I was unable to remedy the air loss by tightening the fittings.
I had intended to bleed the brakes yesterday on my wife's F34 and then do my G20 next weekend, but I'll have to wait to get a replacement bleeder. |

Returned the defective Shwaben unit to ECS and ordered a Motive from FCP, hopefully I can get the brake bleeding done next weekend.
I need to stop ordering stuff and get the parts I already have installed haha. I have some Dinan bump stops inbound and once those land I'll have everything I need to install my H&R springs. Then it's just a matter of scheduling time on the lift and the post-install alignment. Hopefully this weekend I'll get around to installing the M Performance side skirts I have laying around. I'm having the G80 mirror caps painted next week so those will be ready to install soon as well. |

Coincidentally the UPS guy showed up with my FCP order while I was installing the side skirts. I found out they have the M Performance logo embossed on the under side, which is kinda cool. Pretty straightforward install.

Carbon fiber roundels arrived from Nelson Racing Wheel. These are from the last batch of roundels they manufactured as they've stopped production on these and a few other products to focus on larger ticket items. Super easy swap and really adds to the overall blackout theme. These will be the only exterior carbon fiber pieces for now.

Gave her a bath and I'm really happy with how the carbon fiber badges look.

I have access to E85 locally so I look forward to dialing in a custom map for a 30% blend. I'd also like to see what some carefully chosen hardware upgrades can add to the equation. |

Installed the JB4 late this afternoon but couldn't get the Bluetooth to connect so I'll have to mess with it a bit. I bought it used so hopefully its not on a super aggressive map until I get the app sorted out.
I also picked up the m performance rear bumper trim and gloss black diffuser today but discovered the G80 mirror caps I ordered were on back order for another week. Once those are all installed I'll be pretty much done with the body modifications. |

Turns out the JB4 I bought is an older unit and I ordered the incorrect Bluetooth wireless connect kit, so I went and ordered the correct version and will have to return the one I received today. Gonna uninstall it since I don't know what map is currently set.
Kudos to the BMS team, I was just emailing someone and was supplied RMA info at 7pm on a Friday night. |
