Encourage everyone to consider brake pads. I went iSweep and it was a huge improvement in performance and greatly reduced brake dust.

Tell me more. I was just looking at these tonight and wondering if they are worth it.

Waiting for lci touring to become orderable

Ordered an alpha n bonnet, and put a mod list together - as soon as I get a build slot confirmation I’ll grab supersprint j-pipe and eventuri to get ball rolling

My initial thoughts:
I had the iSweep 2000s installed on my G82 last week and early returns are excellent. Initial bite is acceptable and love the modulation of the new pads. Too early to tell on brake dust but my initial impressions are also positive after two spirited drives.

Can now confirm the brake dust is far less and a different color. It makes the black 826m wheels, which I love, much easier to live with. Can’t speak to the iSweep1500 but they also get good reviews.

I've had the 1500s on for a couple of weeks (probably 200 miles). Looked at the wheels just now, and there is little to no visible dust from a few feet away. Street performance is very similar to the OEM pads, with maybe slightly less grabbiness.

Paint matched reflectors
SST valve controller
Zunsport oil cooler guard

Plan for PPF/ceramic/tint on arrival as well as some bimmercode stuff

Thinking about a radar detector..

[MellowAnteater]

Ok, I think y’all talked me into the sweeps. Definitely adding that to the list. Now looking at the iND paint matched reflectors too. So new list:

iSweep 2000 front/back pads
Paint matched reflectors
PPF/Ceramic/Tint
Spider-Man puddle lights ;-)

I did the:

3D MAX floor mats
Competition control panel nameplate
OEM iDrive cleaning cloth
OEM M plate frame
IND painted reflectors (these came out horrible, individual color)
SST valve controller
AST springs
Future classic spacers
Mishimoto skid plate

Detailing stuff:

Are you saying the IND reflector color didn't match well to the paint?

Yeah they’re several shades off. Gonna have to get it redone by a body shop. My car is individual paint so there’s no guarantee with the IND paint match. I wouldn’t hesitate to get them for standard colors.

[MellowAnteater]

Oh wow. Yeah, it’s way off. That would drive me nuts.

You could also just go with clear reflectors on that color.

I see 2 different R44 CF trunk lips listed on their site --- which one did you purchase? I don't love that the OEM lip sits on top of the trunk without any wrap-around - to me, the OEM lip on the F82 was perfect.

It 'looks' like one/both of the R44 lips 'might' wrap the trunk lip a little bit, but hard to tell for sure. Would be great to see pics once you have yours mounted.

Also - nice pick with the R8. I'm looking to get a 'deal' on one as I'd like to upgrade from my Max360.

Enjoy the new ride!
