Many thanks, ando - appreciate it!

I've had some questions via PM so thought I'd clarify some of them:
Rear Wiper installation - how to and is it difficult?
Appreciation goes to
Dobie Dog for bringing it up in his build thread and giving some of us the idea. Here are three links to specific posts in his thread that clarifies how easy it is to do:

Blacking out the chrome badge lettering on the grill and sides- how did you do it?:
sayemthree has an entire thread in which various methods were discussed as some of us felt that the chrome should've actually been blacked-out (at least on the Competition version) to match how they appear elsewhere in the vehicle. Plus the black seems to give a more aggressive aesthetic. I explained in the following two post links how I did it using an oil paint marker. Inexpensive, takes about 10-15', and I've been impressed how well it has held up over all these months
(edit - adding image of the current LCI chrome blacking-out for the PM questions):

Where can we get the good license plate bracket?
In the link to the whole thread about the paint damage issue with the poorly-designed license plate bracket which I shared above, it was post#9 where
j080808 was the one who found the good one many of us are using:

Thought I'd take a few images in the dark to show how the lights look with and without the brakes applied (hard to get the resolution and lighting right with a cell phone but at least the pattern shows how they appear).
