Update!
Got a few mods in this weekend, and one BIG upgrade:
Four Seasons Tuning in Anaheim set me up with a UM Combo Tune and the car is ALIVE. I'm still familiarizing myself with how the car drives/shifts/reacts but let me just say this tune is smooth, powerful, ads a ton of character through burbles and pops on decel, and the DSG tune with the remapped D and S modes is what stock should have been. Launch mode sounds/feels more like a true 2-step barking and popping at 4500RPM.
Especially happy because of the support offered by UM and Four Seasons when the inevitable big turbo bug bites me, UM tunes for just about every hybrid or Garret/EFR turbo kit out now. I passed on the Flex Fuel sensor kit, but will definitely want that with the MPI fueling system for cheap race gas tuned the right way, regardless of my blend or the ethanol content.
I also installed my folding mirrors, coded for fold on lock option in the MIB, and for puddles on during folding which is sorta neat. Install was super easy, just fishing the harness through the door was a bit fiddly but I ran a wire and taped it to the harness to pull though. Only broke one clip! Mirrors came with 6 spares so I'm still in good shape!

I still get a kick when the mirrors fold up or down, but honestly it looks cool and for my driveway or parking it makes it easier to get around the car so WIN WIN!
Completed my 15k oil change courtesy of DAP with Motul 8100. Gotta love the canister filter and plastic drain plug, easiest oil change ever.
