New to the community

Hi All! Dani (aka Snickerdoodle aka Doodle) here.

I just picked my 2012 CM S All4 up almost 2 weeks ago from Land Rover up in Princeton. I follow yall on FB and finally found the forum today. (Work is slow )

I'm looking forward to a new community as i hail from the Nissan Xterra world. I also look forward to meeting up for some local meets near me. (Southern Jersey)

I named him Sheldon. (insert Fun with Flags joke here) I was planning on removing the stripes this past weekend but ended up really sick. So hopefully this upcoming weekend I'll have them off.

Thanks. I have already changed him up a bit. All decals removed and added tint to the front and rear windows.

That's awesome, I picked up a JCW CM last year, all black too with a red roof. They're so much fun to drive.

Looks like we are finally getting nice weather in southern Jersey. Exhaust install is this Saturday. I'll try my best to remember to take pictures and video.

Nice, good luck!

Did you get a larger downpipe? Not sure how the downpipe install is for the CM, but when I installed it in my R56, it was such a pain. Plus I needed to use capscrews because I couldn't fit any tool down in the spot after getting the larger downpipe, I also had to cut a larger hole in my heat shield because the O2 sensor ended up in a different position.

I'm stoked. I just ordered new tires. 215/65/17 Falken Wild Peak AT3. They should be here Friday and installed on Saturday. I'm stoked to share the new tires and give feedback.
