Looks nice. Also, i just realized you have a sport bumper with the ICC. Could you post up some close ups of that cutout and maybe some measurements of where the cut would have to be? I am gonna need to make those cuts before i install mine so that would help a lot

thanks

That's perfect! thanks. Is that bezel around it a separate piece from the bumper? Looks like it's molded but hard to tell.

Oh, one other thing I forgot. How far over is the sensor from the right edge of the bumper? I'm assuming that the sensor is in the same location regardless of sport/journey but you never know.

There's actually a couple pieces. It's not molded to bumper and is removable. Though I never have.

Today I just un-boxed my new two-piece rotors from Z1 Motorsports.

You know, every once in a while certain modifications almost feel like car ****. These rotors... OMG, they are f'ing beautiful!

They're going to inspire me (and mock me) for the next 4-5 months until winter is over and they can go on the car.

I should take pics. Dining room table pics, LOL.

Getting tuned is on my list as the big mod for 2021, assuming things go as planned. Cost wise, 2-piece rotors == tune, and I don't think there's any wrong choice here, either way.

Are you going to keep the calipers the oem color or are these rotors enticing you to change color now?

I really, really want to get the calipers painted, somewhere between metallic orange and gold, which should look particularly tasty on my white Sedan. But that won't be happening at the same time. If this were a DIY, then yes... I'd be shipping the calipers out for paint. But the fact is I just don't have enough garage to get the car up on all fours to do that. I'm also inexperienced with brakes, and I'm getting old, so I suppose I have feet of clay.

If (or when) the calipers get painted, it will be sometime later, after the brake upgrade.

Here, pics in this thread of the new rotors: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...rt-brakes.html

Bought the mishimoto dual catch can setup for $218 shipped and Z1 high flow cats for $350 shipped. I'll install the catch cans myself and leave the torture of the demon bolts to a muffler shop that will charge $250.

Good call on having an exhaust shop do the cats for you. If they have a big enough impact wrench then they should be able to snap off those demon studs pretty easily.

Please post some pics of the dual catch cans once you've got them installed.

So got some goodies in today.
I installed so far the brake lines and trans bushing. Let me say the brake lines are awesome. Pedal is great.

Now the transmission mount holy cow this thing vibrates ALOT. little noise alot of vibration almost feels like a flat tire in spots. The good thing is it's not constant. I'm hoping it wears in. The feeling is real good real solid crisp shifting. Really surprising it feels this good but the vibration has me a bit concerned. I'll drive the rest of the week then install the bell diff brace. I'll have to build up the guts for the engine mounts. And diff bushings
