Cleaned and conditioned the front seats, steering wheel & center arm rest. Came out great. Looks brand new and removed all the shine from the steering wheel that accumulated over time. On the other hand, the TPMS warning came on and I found a screw in my tire so it looks like I'll have to take care of that in the morning.




You can see the screw sticking out just up and to the left of where "SP Sport" is on the tire.

How did you get the red outline for the emblem and other pieces? Also is that a outline for the tow hook or an LED?

Fixed my passenger door ambient light strip.
Dealer had removed the panel years ago, hid the wire inside the door, and then didn't notice it was missing.

Amazing how much better things work when they're plugged in.

The red circle thing on the left side is for cold air to goes in and up to the air box ! From there, i ran a tube all the way up to the air box which i cut a small hole and fit it inside too. I painted it to red so i can look more tasteful you know
Something like this


And i used " 5M Car Interior Door Gap Edge Line Insert Molding Trim Strip " for the emblem and the lower grill ! You can find it anywhere !

It's the opposite of a snorkel: it's a straw.

I once went through some deep water after some heavy Philly rains. I honestly wasn't sure I could make it.
With this intake, I definitely would not have.

F-Sport Wheel Valve covers count as something?

Had to drive to 4 different tire shops to get my tire patched. First shop was out of tire patches, 2nd & 3rd shop had a 3+ hour wait each, and 4th shop had a 1.5hr wait but at that point I said sure and just waited. Used the opportunity to get some photos of the GS without the wheel so you can see the brake/suspension components. I thought it was cool to see and figured there'd be some of you who'd also enjoy seeing these.

Only now? It's been what, a month or more since the accident?
And didn't you post that you were putting the GS up for sale?

Just this weekend I was looking at the grill of my 18 and wondering if those "scoops" were functional.. glad to see they actually vent to the wheel wells, to offer some cooling to the brakes, not that I'll ever drive mine hard enough to need brake cooling...
