That C-West bumper thoo

Its one of the things that drew me to importing this one in particular. I did the other mods but CWest is so nostalgic

Installed the Gruppe M intake this last weekend.

Fantastic intake and installing it correctly is akin to a rite of passage

Does a subframe bolt need to be undone for this install?

Here is a great vid on the install done by forum member “TR3BLE

Some super clean EK9s in here. Thanks for blessing my feed this morning.

Oh yeah, it went semi okay. There was a bolt at the bottom grommet that was a bit tricky to get aligned back up. I’m honestly dreading taking it back off when I do charge pipes.

Picked up my wing, mirror caps, and antenna cover from the paint shop. I need to wash the car and get proper pictures, but it came out exactly how I wanted. IMO it cleans up the car and gives it a more classic look.

I've always been on the fence with the color matched stuff, but that looks awesome

IMO, if you do it, you gotta do all three, or at least the mirrors and wing. All of the black is cohesive, so if you're gonna make some of them color matched, you need to do enough to make it cohesive too.

Side skirts and the bumper pieces don't make sense with how they're designed. Hood vent too would probably be strange. I may swap the hood vent for a CF piece at some point, but the rest will stay gloss black.

Looks great Been too chicken to color match my wing on my BBP. BTW, how is the antenna cover comes off? Is it clipped on somehow or 3M tapes? Curious for future project if and when I decides to color match it. Thanks.

Looks great, I am planning on paint matching my rear wing and mirror caps as well.
