Hit the 1,200 mile mark after completing my rebuild. Got it tuned yesterday by the one and only HassanEido. After a year and a half of sitting, saving, and researching…I can finally say, I did it. 8K has never felt better. Would I buy a car with a blown engine again? Probably not. Was it worth it? Hell yeah.
Had the same issue with the OEM lenses, felt like they would break before compressing the new gaskets, old ones still in as a result.
I had the same issue when redoing my OEM lens and did the same thing as far as reusing the old seal. It eventually ended up getting dirty on the inside of the lens somehow, so then I just fought and swore my way through installing the new ones. There was some dude on YouTube that had some tips and tricks I think I looked at - but it was a PITA, no doubt. I do remember taking the whole damn light out and doing it on a table instead of trying it while on the car. Ever since the new seal it's been all good.
Swapped on some Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and new carbon fiber pads, painted the calipers black, added 20mm spacers up front, and finally installed the Motorsport Hardware stud conversion kit:

Just pulled my headlights last week getting ready for the season. Disassembled, cleaned and put in fresh gaskets. They're a pain in the ass but its also in large part to L/R alighnment of that lens vs. the clips. There is some leeway and it's easier to get it to snap shut all around when the clips are aligned in a specific way.
I do this every year and when i didn't get it to snap shut all around in the past, moisture would get into the lens when I'd wash the car. I also have ocd and YMMV.
Pulled the CSL trunk out of storage, it has a 09/22 build date. I have all the accompanying OEM pieces to install at the same time, I remember reading somewhere that the screws were incorrect though?
Anyway, I've completed the license plate lights wiring, using the guide found on these boards.
I plan on test fitting everything tomorrow, so far it looks fairly plug and play, Karbonius seems to have fixed the inner tail light issues this batch.

Pretty sure I got one from the bad batch. Body shop had to do some trimming to get everything to fit just right.
Put back the unfiltered section to test fit the black hardware. The stainless steel hardware was just too flashy.
now I kind of find annoying that the carbon parts don’t match each other. The previous MAF box had the same shade and shin as the engine cover, but the old Karb is a bit more gray and is 1x1 v 2x2.
