This may seem random, but I've seen a bunch of people on the site hunting for torque specs on the strut brace fasteners (and I think someone finally posted a BMW document specifying 28Nm...or was it ft-lb...) - does this kit include torque instructions? I love the way this looks but also nervous about "loosening" everything under the hood and not getting it back to properly snug.

It does not include torque specs for each bolt.

Honestly, not a single bolt that you swap out with the dress up kit was crazy tight. I just tightened them down to approximately how tight I felt they were from the factory and maybe a slight bit more. Haven't noticed a single issue so far.

How long did it take to do all 44 bolts

Didn't time myself but I was probably working on it for close to an hour. I went slow as I was afraid I'd drop one of the bolts in the engine bay.

I also put a bit of Loctite blue thread locker on each of the new bolts as recommended on the install instructions.

Good to know

I would definitely be the one dropping bolts and they would be lost forever

I know some have mentioned this part being expensive. But if you compare this to what you would pay for a few exterior parts AND the fact that this is an actual, functional piece, I'd say its a bargain. On my list.

Had mine on order since Feb 18th with a ship date of Feb 24th. STILL waiting for it to ship!!

MHOW996 · 03-23-2022, 10:06 PM

Just found out that my order has been pushed to April 24! When I ordered it was to ship Feb 24. So I canceled it. Hoping that it does become available in the future.

Did the same today. Mine was ordered 2nd Feb and today was also told April 24 which is the 4th time the shipping had been delayed. I called them today and still can't guarantee delivery late April.

Cancelled. May order when available. Turner should show delayed on their website before ordering.

MHOW996 · 04-28-2022, 11:19 PM

Re-ordered it when shown in stock. Arrived in 4 days. Installing it this weekend.

Need to have Radiator carbon shroud / Eventuri Intake and carbon engine cover then you'll complete.

Looks great! I cancelled mine after waiting 12 weeks but will order again.

Question, where did you order the colored bolts?

Congrats!.

That's the Downstar Engine Dress up kit. Got one for my G83 but the car isn't in yet.
