    I love that you have those mudflaps on this thing.

    They probably pull my MPG down a point or two but you gotta be ready for the mud!

      Getting some odds & ends tightening up.

      -The steering wheel I got as a replacement had the airbag bracket bent a bit.  Put my old bracket in to had the airbag sit in the wheel at the proper height and not stick out.

      -"New" door sills.

      -Grip strip wasn't working on the trunk.  The valet lockout wasn't making the connection.  Bent it a bit and now the grip strip opens the trunk.

      -New tabs to correct the loose triiimmm.

                    Fiberglass mold of a (hopefully) CSL trunk. Needed some love to fit well but close enough for me.  I'm loving it. 

                    Additional update: KW Suspension has my rear shocks and they are inspecting them.  Should get 2 new ones under warranty as one is leaking.  The rear springs lost their spring and they replaced those under warranty as well.

                        The trunk color is a shade lighter than the car but not that much of an issue for me.  Excited to drive it soon!

                                  CSL trunk is so good! 😱

                                  are you running wheel spacers?

                                        Been out of storage for about a tank of gas.  The battery had power but not enough to crank.  A quick jump and on the road again! 

                                        Need some new rear tires and to go back to stock RTABs.  The polys are too noisy for me.

                                        We are using the wagon for wagon things and swapped the kiddos seats into the m3.  A rear facing baby seat in a coupe is forced yoga.  Lol

                                          Are the RTABs squeaky or is it just the harshness. You will be out of the car seat phase soon enough. Moving on to boosters is like a breath of fresh air
