Coil Cover arrived, definitely more sturdy/beefier than the original.

Aha, you guys don't have rear fog light coming standard, in any cars?
No sir. It's all there though.

FYI, this company was responsible for de-lamination of their tires that killed people in SUVs years ago.
We have a Ferrari Chat member that recently had that happen where the tire de-laminated right off the rim on the freeway. I'm just putting it out there.

When it come down to tires ....I don't go cheap.

Good Luck.

That's the part that mind boggles me. The behind blockoff plate is actually an LED too, and everything works, once you convert it to a button instead of a blockoff. Zero coding. Nuts.

Wonder if it was legal reasons? I mean Audi/Merc have rear fogs without issues idk why BMW doesn't want to do it here. Hell even the Mini has rear fog options.

The best part is that Audi, Merc, LandRover think US can do it, but we see the asshats with them on crystal clear nights.

Yeah, worst are Tacomas and the like.

I think the rear fogs are DOT regulated. Folks would leave them on and confuse people whether or not they're braking. Could be making that up though.

Jumped on a fantastic deal for a set of 18" staggered Titan TS-5s for track use! Will be swapping to better dual duty tires of course. Summer can't come soon enough!

I had a new transmission installed late last year and man what a difference. How have your upgrades changed your experience and what prompted the change??
