You got that right!

Northern Virginia isn't far behind! Not to mention 81 mph is reckless driving here, LOL!

MD also requires a front plate. Bastards.

The inspector claimed he wasn't willing to risk the fine if he passed me. Not one bit happy I can tell you. $300 between removal and replacement is just asinine in my opinion.

Wow, I was quoted $250 just to remove my tint. And new tint would be +500 ish. Mine is 35% but I really want lighter, 70%. But not for $750 lol!

let me help you save money
send me those cf splitters so you don't feel the need to spend the money on reflectors and bumper repainting

Installed my new aluminum replacement for the felt undertray from MPorium! Thanks so much Ed.

One thing everyone should know is that it really adds a good deal of rigidity to the bumper which helped me out a bunch as mine as gotten beat up over the 10 years its been on the car and this pushed it all back into place.

Nice! Wish I'd have known about the one from MPorium. I just spent a couple hundred more for Turner's version. Still feels good to not be driving around with torn to shreds felt.

Quick wash to get rid of some water spots, then drove-to-dry.

Jerez can look pretty damn good for a few minutes until I accidentally breathe on it!

Verified that my RS4's are indeed toasted...after 10 track days so I can't ready complain, though.

installed the p3 gauge to keep track of all the vitals now that the vf kit is dialed in

I drive so slow when I hit VA.

Not only the 81 mph, you cannot use radar detectors in VA.

Finally got around to installing this awesome Karbonius intake setup today. Paired it with the Dinan filter pieces I already had installed. I'm really liking the pieces together, also mega impressed with Karbonius. Sincere compliments to SYT_Shadow for the heavy lifting coordinating the group buy.

I'll install the hand-painted hood roundel from Cat@IND this Monday and complete the under-hood look for a bit.

Drive, wash, drive,wash... never ending cycle.

Any comments on sound improvements / changes?

Yeah the radar detector ban is annoying. My V1 has sat in the glove box unused for way too long now.

Picked up an oem wind deflector for the e93. Test driven to 60mph and wife approved. Didn't mess up her hair!

Thanks crazy. I love Cali, especially SoCal, but that's one of the biggest draw backs in my opinion. I could have a job in SD tomorrow, but I can't convince the Mrs to pull the trigger, especially with the housing prices. Not like the area we're in is cheap by any means though.

But to add insult to injury, it was $80 to take off and another buck sixty to put it back on for the medium quality brand he has. I think $240 for the top of the line.

I seriously think I"m going to chance that one. At least for a little while. It's a non-moving violation right? Does it escalate with additional infractions?

My goodness i love that paint color

Glad you've liked it so far! I just got to Barcelona and am repressing the urge to visit Karbonius' factory

Please post some comments when you've driven it around some more

Gave it a good wash and blew it dry at 80 on I-840.

Made me some center caps. $22 total. eBay caps and Ukraine decals

I ran no front plate for a while and one day a MD state trooper pulled me over just for that - no other infraction involved. Got a warning, so I got a tow hook plate holder because I won't put holes in the front bumper.

Gave it a nice wash and wax with ONR (I love this stuff - makes car cleaning upkeep a total breeze!) and ready for Cars N Coffee tomorrow - such a busy year I haven't been to single one and it's August already
