Doubtful. Do any other FL5 exhausts fit the DE5? As of last month AWE were working on getting a DE5 into their facility to begin development.

Allocations are not equally distributed throughout the dealership network, not for the FL5 anyway.

That's great you were able to pick up a clean low-mileage CPO F80. The DCT is marvelous in the F8x platform. And I agree it's second only to the PDK. It's incredible what a Stage I flash will get you on the S55. I picked up 55whp/104wtq (SAE) on 93 octane and even more under the curve. Very...

Once upon a time I was heavy into trading options and individual securities. The precious metals rally from 2009 to 2012 and the early TSLA days were fun (and wildly profitable). Those days are behind me now. I now have a properly correlated portfolio and invest in other areas.

What's your rate and term?

Congratulations on the purchase! The DE5 looks great in many of the colors but the blue is super nice. Good for you being able to get a wash on the swap. Enjoy the car in good health!

That's interesting and a great call out. Thanks for passing that along.

It's somewhat common for banks to allow 125% LTVs on auto loans, but it often only applies to new (never titled current or prior year) vehicles.

Beautiful! Congrats brother, it has been quite the journey.

This is about the best you will find in the current interest rate environment for a majority of the population. There are outlier institutions; however, they only serve a well-defined customer base. If you search all corners of the Internet you will find some lenders who are 50-100 bps lower...

This looks killer! Thanks for sharing!

Bolded for emphasis. This is all that matters. You don't owe anyone here an explanation on how you spend your money, manage it, or how you view it.

How does it feel with the mods you've installed thus far pre-tune? I'm sure you've read the 4PR tech article on the TR2 camshaft. I'm curious to hear what they described as an "aggressive VTEC crossover point." If it's even remotely similar to the B, H, F, or K (K20A, K20A2, K20Z1) series...

Exoshield is a completely different substrate so equating it to paint protection film is a nonsensical argument. Not to mention, you couldn't apply paint protection film to a windshield even if you tried. Have you had Exoshield installed on a vehicle? I'll preface my comments on Prime XR Plus...

I've had tinted windshields on two cars and I'll never do it again until the optical clarity of these films improve. I always hear, "It's so clear you don't even notice the film is on the windshield!" That's not true. What you're experiencing is normal. If you have a discerning eye you will...

Let me guess: Is your issue with the tint on the windshield optical clarity?

@Liquid ITS 24 I forgot to mention one item. I suggest having film on the headlights as part of the front clip. I understand this may be controversial due to the potential of delamination. That's something you'll need to decide if you're comfortable with.

Mud guards definitely help, but I dislike the look on these types of vehicles. It kills the aesthetic IMHO. Also, ceramic coating will not prevent or protect the paint from rock chips. That's what paint protection film is for and even then it's fallible. I don't mean to be pedantic and I know...

Applying film on the rocker panels is not to protect against shoe scuffs, it's to protect against damage caused by rocks, gravel, and foreign objects on the road. That bottom portion of the vehicle will absolutely take on damage if left unprotected.

A few notes: From a coverage standpoint, Option 2 is worth the extra money; however, I would add the following and/or confirm coverage of those areas. I would add the leading edge of the roof which typically comes as part of the a-pillar kit. Include the b-pillar, c-pillar, and a custom piece...
