Installed my EQT coil ground kit today and reverted back to my OEM coil packs. It only took about 30 minutes to do everything.

What's your feeling on the addition of the Unibrace?
It makes the chassis feel more connected. Before when I backed out of my driveway, I would hear a slight creaking noise from the chassis. Now it is silent. They will likely be hard to find since production has stopped.

Dug through my emails yesterday to find an old promo code for BFI that I used on my mk6 GTI. To my surprise, it worked!
(Code: DEVIN10) BTW I have no affiliation with their company, I just used this code to get mounts for my GTI a year ago.

(Fairly Large Update)

Installed my carbon fiber steering wheel!

The previous owner scuffed up the hatch trim, so I decided to replace it. While I had it removed, I deleted the rear wiper and installed a KillAllWipers rear wiper delete.

Received the last piece for my next project. I am installing an Audi Aluminum Subframe with some other goodies. These include: SuperPro 26mm Front Sway Bar, TyrolSport Deadset Kit, and PowerFlex Hybrid Subframe Puck.
