Thanks for the comments everybody.

There isn't much more to do with the car but I found one more thing - matching cup holder deletes, total nerd move



Took a piece of Satin Finish Carbon Fiber Veneer 12”x12”x .5mm (305mm x 305mm) from Protech Composites https://shop.protechcomposites.com/5...-fiber-veneer/ and trimmed to fit the slot.

Overall still very happy with the car. I'm not sure what mixture the car has for coolant, but I'll probably need to go to 80/20 (less coolant) as the car is getting very hot on track. I got a coolant temperature warning during a hot lap earlier this month. I've also been running the AR1's, I still prefer the A052.

Is the trim matte carbon fiber, or was something done to the gloss OE parts? Looks amazing.

Still enjoying the car; I was able to get down to a 1:58:07 (BW 13CW) last week on the AR1's that had one track day on them. Kind of annoyed I wasn't able to shave the extra 08 of a second of an be in the 57's but hopefully that'll come with more seat time.

Epic build man. It's builds like this that always keep me on my toes on what optimizations to perform next to get that much closer to the pinnacle of the platform. Enjoy!

Amazing build love the attention to detail.

I haven’t seen one of those Gauge pods before does it fit flush without any cutting of the center trim?

Those gold accents were a worthy choice. Beautiful!

Not yet, but I haven't tracked with it. I have -3.3 front, so I think I'll be good? Weird thing is, even with the A052's 265/35 front setup I had when I originally got the car, it would rub on Riverside at Buttonwillow every time. I'm guessing with this it may be slightly worse but I'll have to go back in December to find out.

No spacer front, Ohlins TTX, 10mm spacer rear. 285/30 square is correct yes.

I ordered a GT4 lip through MK-Rennsporttechnik a while back and finally just had an evening with some free time to install it on my spare bumper, I also put the canards on. The fitment is great (hard to tell in the photos).

I tried to mimic the gasket that my OE GTS lip had. I couldn't do it as well as BMW obviously but this seemed to do the trick. I ordered a rubber strip through Amazon and applied it so it's sandwiched between the bumper and lip, this also fixes any minor fitment issues as it fills in the gaps.

Applied 3M double sided adhesive (towards the back of the lip so it isn't visible when installed) so the rubber strip wouldn't walk around as I was laying it on the lip


Lay the weather strip down and cut width


Trip the inside edge of the weather strip


All done


I did have to trim my spare bumper for the OE GTS brackets since I left them installed on the car. I was afraid to remove them since they're all riveted in place, and the brackets themselves are super hard to source. I'll admit though, I am worried that the brackets are more prone to flexing/warping the left or right side now that there's no bottom support linking the two together. I'm also concerned that if I bottom the lip out the chassis mount will shatter the inside edge of the carbon brake ducting since it's super close on the inside edge. Either way the fitment on the lip is excellent and I'm very happy to have held out for a decent GT4 lip as opposed to the cheaper knock-off ones like I had on my previous E92.
