Ready to race!
That drop looks great and the wind deflectors look good!

FWIW, the EZ lip will just come off. The edges start to peel the first few times you get water on it and my second one tore when it scraped on a driveway.

That's what alot of people have been telling me as well :(
I was just looking for something to protect my front bumper from scraping even more than it already has temporarily until I got an actual lip!

Installed the AWE Track Edition Catback Exhaust last weekend. Very easy and straightforward process; I was fortunate enough to have a friend who has access to a lift.
AWE Initially sent me the touring edition catback with the resonator section; the track edition straightpipe section was sent in a separate shipment so now I have the extra resonator laying around to convert it to a touring!
My first thoughts after starting it up was that it was quieter than I expected...even being the track edition CBE with the resonator delete, the tone of the car is still very civil but deeper and much more aggressive. I love it though; it's still close to stock in the cabin and doesn't wake the neighbors up! You can definitely hear it when you're WOT as well as the DSG farts when I'm close to redlining!
My only complaint would be the relocation of the muffler next to the gas tank; it is the heaviest part of the section and is held up by clamping this section together to the axleback and straightpipe/resonator section. I suspect that it will need to be periodically re-tightened to prevent any sagging.
Now onto a Catted DP and BOV!
