Trying to get random exterior things cleaned up by this Saturday so a friend can shoot the car. So I apologize in advance for the random questions I'll have:
-What is supposed to go in the center front bumper "knockout"? (The long horizontal slat openings in lower front valence). My car had the lower plastic intact - but nothing in the upper hole.
-Anyone know where I can find a front bumper towhook hole cover for the bumper? Missing mine and tried ordering from GAP - they called me back and said they're out - and bmw is out.
-Anything I should know about ordering replacement front/rear emblems for the trunk/hood? Are they always OEM - or should I know anything about knockoffs/printed/etc...
-
Gluten or Blunttech for the parts.

Didn't know about GutenParts - I like that they have their stock levels on the website! Thanks John!
As I'm looking at the bumper valence inserts - they only show one (which appears to match the one I have currently). Is the top slot supposed to be empty?!?
Getting my order together for Guten right now - I'm assuming others have purchased from them? Pretty quick order turn-around?
-
Top slot should be empty.
That's what I was hoping - thanks!
Guten order placed... Let's hope it arrives before Saturday!
-
Top slot should have an intercooler
fixed that for you
Beautiful car by the way, just keeps getting better. So cool to see it all come together!
-
Darn it! I wish I would've known sooner. I just crushed this car that had them.

Been crazy this past week trying to get the car tidied up! Got a foglight, new colormatched roundels, painted some trim and re-did the trunk spoiler, and dyed/painted the rear parcel shelf and rear speakers/grills.
Reassemble tonight, hopefully adjust the ride height a pinch, and do a wash/detail before Saturday!

I have been wanting some monochrome roundels for a while. Those look great

Man someday I promise myself I'll have attention to detail like this.
It's a double edged sword - there's always something to do!
Took a ton of pictures on Saturday early afternoon before the GTG - lots of great shots to come as the week goes on.

^ Here's the first, and probably most anticipated.
Enjoy

That looks really good!!
