Soleil, I purchased the interior knob kit from RPI Designs. Easy install. They just press on with your fingers. A small lip will grab the back of the OEM known. Easy and nice upgrade.

Technically not today, but most recently I added the GM factory splash guards and did the license plate + reverse light LED conversion. Now the RVC image reaches way farther when backing up in the dark, much better visibility of lurking garbage cans and the like.

These splash guards will definitely not fall off, the front part is attached with 3 rivets plus a T15 screw that replaces a plastic retainer clip, and the rear piece uses 3 T20 screws, both in addition to two sided tape. Very well designed parts with perfect paint match, if a bit expensive (just like almost all OEM parts).

Got harassed by a CTS coupe. Not a V either. That didn’t last long.

Splash guards look AWESOME!!!! My only fear is that I replaced the side markers with LED ones, and should one burn out, I would have to remove the splash guard in order to access the screws..........

Also curious what you used to make your tires shine like that? Looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

arpad_m · 10-23-2017, 08:31 AM

Thanks

it's Adam's Tire Shine, for the first time. I've driven roughly 150 miles since then, and it looks pretty much the same, we'll see how long it lasts.

You don't need to remove the splash guards to get to the side markers. I added the Diode Dynamics after I already had the splash guards installed. I just removed enough screws to pull back the wheel well liner to get to the markers.

Exactly. I installed Oracle side markers after the splash guards were installed.

I was able to finally close on my lemon buyback and swapped by 16 2SS A8 to an 18 1SS 1LE M6! I know not everyone would agree but I 100% regret not picking the M6 in the first place after spending all day with the M6 ... the A8 is great and fun in its own right but for me there is no comparison in the engagement and thrill. Downside is that light acceleration in every gear quickly pushes me past the posted speed limit.
