Looks good! What are your thoughts on the diffuser? How does it fit? I would assume no issues with parking sensors given the amount of R&D 3D Design does...

So here's the deal with this diffuser and maybe it's because I still have the trailer hitch behind it. The fit is nearly 100% and that's because of my OCD with fit and finish. The quality is at 100%. I think they could have done a better job with the access cover. That wood screw just looks out of place.. You need to swap the OEM parking sensor tabs and glue them on this diffuser. As you can see the sensors sit 100% flush AS LONG as you glue it in the right spot. I had to use a long flat head and support the back of the bumper while my wife slowly pushed the center in place. Trailer hitch has a bit of a gap behind the bumper, so the install was a bit more delicate. Here's my OCD speaking again, there was one spot, dead center towards the bottom that you can slightly see through the weave. It's hard to explain but it wasn't broken just think that the material was possibly stretched in that section. My wife noticed it while I was applying nanolex ceramic coating and she was holding it. Others that have this diffuser never had an issue with the parking sensors. It seems the carbon fiber ones don't have an issue because you use the stock tabs and the material is thin. I'll be heading out soon with both vehicles to do an SLR photoshoot. I'll test out the parking sensors in an open lot and around other vehicles.

Thank you very much for the photos and the comments, I am somewhat disappointed since for the price I should bring the sensor adapters, the cover I think will take the screw so that they do not steal it, I imagine

Thank you brotha! I always appreciate your love! While taking photos yesterday, a few car enthusiasts and motorcycle guys were gathering in the lot. Either meeting up or just taking pictures like we did. Some that drove past us, gave us the thumbs up. One guy cleaning his civic was parked a few rows over from us and said "wow man, that carbon fiber looks insane in the sunlight" My wife's previous vehicle has carbon fiber all around the car. Front lip, rear diffuser and side skirt diffusers. It feels great to have it again.

A small update,
Installed the G30 digital climate control. Plug and play with no coding needed. This was well worth it! I was very careful with the installation.

Did some dyno power pulls. It put down 355 HP and 418 TQ. It's on a mild 91 octane tune everything else is stock (performance wise). I'm not completely thrilled with the numbers, but they aren't bad either. With the stock 19's, i'd guess about 360 HP to the wheels since they are lighter than the 20's.

Beautiful Sunday for a photoshoot! Installed Maxton X4 side skirt diffusers today. They complete the exterior look.

Autotecknic carbon fiber grill and fender vents installed! These are absolutely incredible! Will be taking SLR photos tomorrow.

Did the g30 climate control affect the hand gestures capability at all?

It ended up affecting the gesture capabilities. I will talk to my Coding guy to see if it needs to be coded back.
