Is it just me or does your hood look a little misaligned?

Teaston - That is about as beautiful as it gets! I am puzzled a bit by the looks of your 18mm spacers. I have 13s and they look exactly like yours using the photos from your rear side to compare. I would have thought the 18s would be much more obvious. Nice work!

Looking good! Maybe I should've kept X3M emblems on those vents.

Thanks! I pretty happy with it now, would maybe just like a lip like below if one is ever made.

Haha, my pocket aren't 3D Design deep! I'd really love a maxton lip like this one, if only they'd made the G01 one look like this!

Yeah I think they look good with the emblems on, did you set them aside somewhere?

I'm currently on the search to find out. Was waiting for the x3m docs on realoem. I'll look again to see if it's up and compare to m40

I had no luck removing black start stop button even with differ type of sticky clay.

Is this the only way to replace dam button...
