I don't have any camber plates etc., so this is a pretty easy setup to replicate.

After several weeks of measuring, fitting, sawing and sanding, today I finally fitted my home-made, modest aero package: Front splitter and side skirts.

The missing factor on the front and sides is no longer there, am really pleased the way my car looks now.

Had to make it myself because in the retail market these parts are far too expensive but above all, almost always over-shaped. (And also always that carbon, as if everyone should want that).

Badges are on eBay, alcantara cover on aliexpress. The horn pad is only a 'cover' though not a true replacement piece.

Glad you made it out unscathed. Just curious if you can provide some more information about what happened, I saw you commented "Mixing two compounds… and glazed the rotor" on the YT comments. Can you elaborate on that? Are you saying switching between race pads and street pads, or something else? Just trying to learn and hopefully not experience the same.

Back when in 2017 I found that same exact sand pit after changing from Pagid to PFC pads. The brakes were fine until they weren’t!

See you there this weekend!

I think the F87 is going to go down as a real classic.
Which carbon mirror caps do you have? They look great.

Took the hood off in preparation for the GTS hood. It was painted today, will be buffed tomorrow, and fitted Friday.

Evening, I just saw your posts. I apologize for the later response but I had a local shop do this install at the same time as my oil change. In watching over the install as I too was curious, it went very smoothly even with my added obstacles (carbon fiber struct brace). I'd say if your doing the install yourself just make sure to have towels covering up everything to minimize oil leakage on other components in the vicinity. In regards to my impression of the Mosselman Oil Thermostat for the last week or more of daily driving I have definitely noticed a decrease in oil temps around 10 degrees overall. In my observation and it might be more of my imagination then quantifiable fact (at least as of now as I need more seat time) but because of the more efficient thermostat in keeping a consistent lower oil temp with an initial lower cooling threshold (factual information) I am noticing a smoother power curve (imagination/personal feels) than before. I am sure I would notice more of a difference on a track day/ spirited (controlled) canyon drive/extended road trip to see if that smoother curve can be sustained longer because of the lower initial temps but I haven't had the chance to do either yet.

To have more quantifiable data I should have done before and after logs on BM3 or multiple dyno pulls but unfortunately I do not have time these days to do either unless anyone has suggestions on simpler not as timely method to provide more than observational data?

Otherwise this is my initial impression on the Mosselman Oil Thermostat I bought from Kies Motorsports.
