Mine doesn’t pop back on - it’s the silver and black 6 speed cover. I’ve got to epoxy it back on, I guess.

True. I guess I put him in harm’s way? I know - grasping.

Thanks. It was my first experience with plasti-dip. It turned out real well. A few imperfections, but only I notice them.

IC Muffler Delete

Quick and simple (except for removing the muffler mount torx screw) IC muffler delete done. Used a 2" OD x 8" long piece of aluminum tubing to replace the muffler.

Wow, does that look good! I was debating on buying that kit (black JCW grille) for my MCS and I think that just pushed me over the edge.

Very nice.

Looks great! Much better than the chrome! It goes with the lower duct Plus I've always thought BRG needed black trim not white or chrome.
