Runs 1 and 3 were post tune. Run 2 was pretune.

Used a drive train loss of 17%

Final build mods:

1. Downstar hardware
2. Blackvue Cam
3. Alcántara and Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel
4. Rockford Fosgate Subs

About these subs…. Not saying that the Alpha one setup isn’t a significant upgrade from the OEM speakers, but having that extra sub channel makes the difference. Adding another amp and subs makes a great sounding sound system amazing!!! A total must have for those of us that grew up in the 90s.

Question to the OP… where did you get the xpel done? I’m in Jersey too and want them to do this to mine.

Any thoughts?

I’m gonna do it like that but with a fade halfway. So it painted closest to the windshield and fading to carbon where it starts to Ben into the vents. 👌🏼

Front: 285/30r20
Rear: 295/30r20

I saw that a change was made. I’m at 1.1%. We will se if that tenth of a percent over the recommended 1% makes a big difference. I’ll post final setup once everything is in if there are any issues with XDrive.

It’s 0,4% off stock so you’re only 0,7% off. Should work fine. My setup is gonna be 1,1% off too.

Kustom Koatingz in Blackwood, NJ. He is flat out amazing and meticulous. He’s backed up but definitely worth the wait.

Thanks for letting me know who did it…they took the lights off and everything and did the door jams too?

Everything pretty much came off.

Sinister840 He even thought my bumper had to many rock chips and sent it out to get repainted before applying the PPF.

Is this still the RW Carbon CSL Style Carbon Fiber Grille you posted originally? Been looking into different ones for when my order comes in and love this one. Thanks.
