@tigeo @CaptainRatty looks like the stars are aligning for the BOTD NC meetup. I will be in Kings Mountain, NC for work next week until Friday the 13th. I am going to stay in the area and meet up with everyone at the Charlotte meetup spot @0900 on Saturday. Look forward to meeting new forum members and take a fun drive.

Just all about that weather though....
Is Marion, VA the area I should monitor for weather?

Yes - also Tazewell which is the western side of the drive termination.
Nothing new you haven’t seen but man I love the dynamic euro lights.

Love the sequentials, gotta hold myself back from impulse buying these.. where did you pick them up from?
ShopDAP for the lights and forum member Zero815 for the harness.

I see that you have the Bilstein B8 with Neuspeed sport springs suspension set up. How do you like it?
Ride height is perfect imo. Stiffer than stock but not rough. I don’t have another setup to compare it to other than stock but I’ve been pleased with it and have no plans on changing.
I got home Sunday night from Ohio and got strait to work on a few things I purchased over the past month.
Installed the MST air box and a few badgeskins. Front emblem and rear bumper reflectors. I can’t make up my mind if I like them or not. I like an OEM look and the badgeskins do not keep that look imo. They look cool, just not sure about 40 year old dad cool. Maybe they’ll grow on me.

I really like the bumper reflector tint, I think it ties in nicely with the lower part of your euro tails. The front emblem looks really sharp too, though I would agree it's giving modified more so than OEM. Nothing wrong with that, certainly looks sharp and still classifiable as "40 year old dad cool" haha.
That was my thought also with the reflectors. For some reason the dark front badge says modified more than the massive fmic haha. I’m sure it will grow on me. I actually had a front badge installed previously but it looked like shit because I’m picky.
Maybe it’s the damage to my hood from a ladder that fell on my car recently that’s really bugging me.

Back reflectors look real good. I've never been a fan of the full badge overlay tbh, I like the way the chrome reflects the environment (sunsets, etc) but I've been thinking of the offest inlay to still retain a bit of the chrome. Worth a shot?
Euro tails look really clean btw, your image just put it higher on my to-do list.

Thanks and yea I agree on the front badge. Badgeskins makes a tint overlay I may try someday. The mk7.5 has the smooth front badge so the inlay isn’t an option and they don’t make a color match one for dark iron blue.
The euro tails are one of my favorite mods honestly.
