Installed the brushed stainless radiator cover and side gap covers from Southern Car Parts. Really good job on the laser cutting and fit.

That said, so far, so good---the trans feels like it's still readjusting to my driving, there were a few "tentative" shifts initially, but most of the part throttle upshifts and downshifts already performed well, WOT upshift looks good as well (gotta be careful in this 45-55 degree weather with 560 rwhp on PS4S tires, of course I didn't risk WOT upshifts from first or second on the street), 1-2 low throttle shift is great, no jerkiness, and no shudder whatsoever. 3 to 1 downshifts going uphill are also perfect, yay.

Will need to drive some more and test the last tricky bit, the initial R to D shift of the day with the fluid still cold. Now I will say the trans feels a bit different and more aggressive, but it's hard to discount the placebo factor.

Ohh awesome. I’m hoping this really is a permanent fix. Really love the car and want it to last at least 10 years. The A8 feels like the weak point of this car.

Did my first differential oil change at 6k. So simple to do. It was a little gray in color but not as bad as some of the pics i've seen

Made a new window sticker for a more “American” look and gave her a bath.

Looks awesome brother, the hood liner inserts add a nice touch and those DRL's are proper Throw on some black bowties and she'll have the absolute perfect look

The 1LE is more practical than I thought.

While I was running errands I decided to stop by the hardware store to pick up some grass seed. Two 50lb bags fit in the trunk with ease! First gear traction was marginally improved.

The trunk is actually a decent size...if you can get it in there. I get a couple full size guitar cases in there but it takes some wrangling.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try the ghost stripe thing on Crush. I’m sure it isn’t for everyone, but I’m pleased with the look.

It's interesting for sure. What color are they exactly?

put my acs wing on over the weekend and went to a little cars and coffee at the beach yesterday morning

Installed the ZL1 center caps I ordered from Wildhammer. Used some heavy packing tape to pop the old caps off without any issues at all and in less than 5 minutes. Love the look.

You just got to dialate the truck hole to get big stuff to fit
