Acexxon rear reflector vents. What a bigger pain in the ass lol. I couldn't get the bumper cover to sit nicely near the tail light. Took me a while to figure it out, but once I got it, the other side was a breeze. And my car looks legit white in this photo...

That plate is too small for the rear. Looks like an anus.
Fell of my chair laughing when I read that. That's his baby you're talking about.

My read on Alpine is that he has a pretty great sense of humour.

If you thought that was tricky, don't take the front grill out (for the PPF edge to be under the grill).

I used my wife's blow dryer and a pampered chef pizza stone scrapper. Worked like a champ. Easy
I suppose if I had had an Infrared blaster and all the cool tools of a pro installer it would have been even easier.

You just need to add the OPF to complete that US DOT + Euro Spec look

I think he is going for Australian spec so no OPF. The orange thing just has to go though! Argh.

If you are willing to spend that money just for the knob, then you can remove the knob from the boot it comes with (on both the CS and the MP), then replace the CS knob with the MP knob.
You do know that the MP has dry (not glossy) CF, right?

Not sure if it's OEM but it looks identical:

Anyone install bms clutch stop yet? After 30 minutes on my knees I gave up. I cannot fully seat the clutch stop regardless of pressure or turns, I get it a 1/4 way through. Yet I watch videos online people say it just pushes in, not unless there are variances in their production process. It’s plastic versus metal so I couldn’t damage the car but still makes no sense

I installed one and had the same problem. I also tried for about 30 minutes and couldn't get it more than a few cm in. I ended up gently pushing it in with the clutch pedal. However, I'm not sure how I'm going to remove it if I wanted to make any changes...

I installed the BMS clutch stop on mine. I used my dremel to shave away just a little bit of the ribbing. Went in great afterwards and doesn't fall out when I tug at it.

I did the same... pushed it into place, and got it the rest of the way by slowly pressing it in with the clutch pedal until I felt it pop in. I took off one disk before installing it.

I did a test this morning on the mperformance knob/boot I used on my M4. I used red sharpie and it doesn't match that well. In the sunlight, the red sharpie has a purple hue. There are fabric markers that people use that might have a matching color. I was planning to take the knob off of this one anyway so I figured I'd try it just to see...

This was actually pretty easy. No need to mess around with red markers.
