They might be generic mudflaps but TLG has very good customer service. He takes care of you

MarineRaider · 06-13-2021, 11:37 PM

Not fair to call them generic.

Does TLG have flaps for the rear as well?

Yes he does. I had both F&R and they made cleaning much easier. Especially the rocker panels and side skirts

Removed the valve module to keep the flaps open in the exhaust.

Yeah - it's definitely an improvement. It's not any louder (at it's peak loudness), but there is a larger range of sound now that they remain open at all times.The valves seem to work on their own more - and the exhaust button will definitely not leave them open all the time. It's the way the car should have sounded from factory.

After 3 months and 4 days or so, I finally got my Frog tinted. Said Frog was heavily attacked with rain over the last couple of days, so she's filthy but at least once the sun comes back out she'll be less of an oven.

Euro Union meet over the weekend

G80BSM · 06-15-2021, 10:49 PM

Washed it!

Certified must have mod

I removed the OEM chrome exhaust tips and used Plasti-dip to change the color to black. Black looks much nicer on a dark colored car.

barryc365 · 06-16-2021, 11:11 AM

Fitted a Uniden R7 via mirror tap. Pretty clean and out of sight and no wires coming down to the cigarette lighter which is nice. It was pretty easy to do

Also booked the car in for PPF, Ceramic and Tints. I wasn't going to go all out with PPF but given the labor involved in polishing for ceramic it really became more cost efficient to do both and I Got a great package deal doing everything at once.

BMdoubleUTIFUL · 06-16-2021, 08:10 PM

Ceramic coat done today

mattssi · 06-16-2021, 08:42 PM

Got my first rock chip! 80 miles in, staying away from everything on the road, max speed of like 45 mph and I noticed it as soon as I got off the phone w/ the PPF/Ceramic place. Loud cursing followed.

So, I then ordered up some Dr. ColorChip.

Sorry to hear. Rock chips that appear shortly after purchase are scathing.

For the anti-grille crew….

….here's number 10 today.

I have seen 4 G8X's too.

Are you using your phone while driving, officer?

what type of PPF are you doing? full car? what's it going to cost? I'm planning on going SunTek or maybe something else. I've had both XPEL and SunTek and I felt like SunTek was a bit better overall
