    New tail light seals went in - not the most fun 100 bucks but it was worth it to keep this thing waterproof. I also picked up a set of the popular Partsgeek grills while OEM is out of stock/NLA. Very impressed by both the fit and finish.

    Shout out to AWE46M3 for the CM Wheels CSL replica set, got them for a good price and finally let me get something on the car. These should hold me over for a while so I can tackle other things. Other than the color, they are fantastic replica. You can see the CM vs the OEM finish comparison in the first photo below. They fit great with a 15mm up front and 5mm spacer in the rear. If someone figures out a good finished, maybe I'll have them redone one day in a more hyper silver color

        Looks great but why in all of unholy hell did you pay a$100 for those seals when they are $20 online for each.

          I meant 100 bucks total - the inner foam seals (In hindsight you could make these for 5 dollars) and the black plastic/rubber seal for both outer tail lights runs about 100 bucks from FCP
