Installed the AA single midpipe this past weekend, and boy was I surprised. Sounds louder than I thought it would and definitely gets rowdy!

Well, the receipt isn't super clear on what is what. Your installer will probably know by the part numbers listed.

I told my shop front driver, front passenger and sunroof max legal dark allowed in Texas. Told them use the lightest they have on the rears. Clear on the front. Hope it helps and sorry for the delay. 😁

That looks perfect. Did you get the wing through BMW or someone else?

Thanks for the follow up. Looks like those front are probably 30%. Again, looks great.

lowered on H&R Springs paired with Dinan bumpstops... . was told they would "settle" and go a tiny bit lower. I'm hoping that's the case.

Looks spot on, possibly a touch lower than my Eibach’s.

I would love to know more information about that front lip. Is that the RW Carbon lip or one of the ebay variants (I believe from JC Parts)?

Hi.
These are all real hand-laid dry carbon fiber parts, I don't want the cheap plastic parts on my car.
As you know, those lip from BWM cost about 2.7k.

I will be honest, I was living 7 years in China for work and found good companies over there, so all the carbon parts coming from there with a big price advantage.
The quality and fitment are excellent, as you see in my pictures.
If you are interested, just let me know.

Thanks.

Looks really nice and there are better than the stock ones.
I changed my entire steering wheel because I like the carbon fiber and the big paddle shifter.

I did a evolution rw midpipe and Dinan axel back.
In the package, I was missing one of the heat shields. I had the shop put the exhaust back on without the heat shield. Does it really impact anything

Swapped in cf steering trim & madtrace/JQWerks paddle shifters. Toughest part of the trim was getting all of the wires back into the right place.

I hate having aliexpress parts on my car but I couldn't find another option for pre-LCI - don't like that the M performance doesn't have a cutout (and weave is different than stock) and the autotecknic option is only alcantara (which doesn't match anything in the interior).

Madtrace paddle shifters are a HUGE upgrade in terms of engagement and makes each shift much more satisfying, imo (still not as good as a manual lol). They are noisy though.

OOOOH I was wondering if anyone got the JQW paddle shift replacements, the click sounds very satisfying from their videos. Very interested to hear the long term synopsis on these as well.
