Maybe someone else can chime in.
As far as I know, if you don’t have the sport front bumper you’ve got to go custom.

Rgthirty5 on Instagram got his from Amazon and it’s a BMW splitter:

Are you keeping your non-sport brakes? Then avoid wide open 5-spokes, or any deep lip design that showcases the brakes. On the upside, you won't have to worry about caliper clearance.

You must have been good this year.
Yeah wheels can be a pain to decide on.

Didn't do it today, but here are a few pictures from my installed TBW aluminum undertray. Sorry Rochester for the late post. The build quality and fitment on this product are spot on and it gives a little more ground clearance for the awd models. Haven't done an oil change yet but it looks like there is lots of space to reach the filter by just opening the oil pan door, the drain plug looks a little close to the undertray but it might be ok. Don't mind the dirty underside of the car

Oh, that's nice! Particularly in gloss black. Is that powdercoat? Did you buy their bolts & clips, too?

What's going on in that last pic, near the filter panel?

My Diff Bushings and Subframe Bushing Collars Came in. I don't know how much of a difference the Collars will make, but the Bushings look great. I look forward to having them installed. I am getting an alignment too, I wonder if the car will need one after the diff is taken out.

I am told I need a Guibo, also known as the flex disk that is connected to the driveshaft. Does anyone know where I can get one?

I also cleaned my maf, it feels a bit more responsive. I plan on cleaning my throttle bodies as well.

Yes it's powder coated gloss black and yes I bought the bolts and clips too. I changed all the bolts but I didn't change all the clips because some were hard to reach. Honestly I'm not sure what's going on in that last pic. According to the pic it looks like the paint was bubbling up but i only noticed that when I looked at the pics myself. While installing and the pre check of the item everything looked good. Maybe some dirt or weird reflection? I have to check that once I'm under the car again

Differential Cover was drop shipped as requested. Had it polished and is now sitting in my room here in Wa waiting for me to pack it up and take it with me to Fl later this month so that I can install it.

Thanks for the pics, Swen. That is an odd goof in the image, for sure.

The bolts look like zinc plated or SS... which? Was black available? When I get around to getting this piece, I was thinking of getting Ti.
