After many years, finally ordered painted reflectors.

Going to purchase a BMW Sun Visor?

The covercraft one is the same price as the BMW one. I read they make it for BMW anyways.

Must have paid for that expedited shipping! That's my one gripe with FCP, it feels like if you pick the free shipping option, they purposely don't process your order for a few days which is weird really for a business..

With Covid at least one place seems to be shipping every other day.

Looks so much better though. How did you end up getting them out?

I'm thinking about the same mod.

I've only experienced this once with FCP. Usually it ships out the same day or next day.

Left the office just after 5 before the curfew (riots), and just my luck had a fully flat right rear tire. NOTHING was open near me, so I for the first time pulled out that BMW tire inflator in the trunk, damn that thing is legit... never knew it was there. Was able to pump up it up, and fly 20 miles to another city with a discount tire. Got a plug, but found out the rears are toast (PS 3 a/s).. they offered me a deal on two new P4Ss on the rear for $250 each..idk why. Since my fronts are fine for now, would it be dumb to have 4S on rear, and PS 3 A/S on front until they go out? probably a dumb question, I know nothing about tires

Installed an Arma speed intake - fitment sucked! Had to trim the radiator surround, plastic near the top of the filter and the carbon parts.

Pliers are the only way to get them out.

You should expect some small variances with the carbon fiber that require some trimming with a dremel. At least that's my experience with a ton of CF parts.

There.
I've never heard of this intake on here for now 2 years...it looks good.. but the airbox size and shape looks smaller? any reviews of performance/sound. I'm not in the market just curious.
