no, I removed the harness from the factory seat and plugged that in, and put a resistor In the airbag clip. Keep in mind that changing the seat you are losing that airbag completely, no way around that.

Comfort is not bad, but stock seat is def. better in just she comfort Aspect, this just have much more solids bolsters and hold you better.

There are many fixes back option seats that are even lighter in the 15lbs range, but again sacrifice comfort.... the amount of driving you do I would not recommend these, the bolsters are pretty tight if you aren't a very small guy. (Think like Max 30-32” pants size,lol)

Wait, so even with everything hooked up properly you will lose driver/passenger airbags? I thought that could be avoided. That’s really unfortunate if so.

I was very tempted until I saw that. Just too risky for safety and if there is an accident that the air bags would deploy your insurance company probably won't pay.

^tell me more, please! I really like the clean matte look of the tires. Not too shiny or greasy.

HOw long does it last before the tires look dirty again? What about through rain?

It’s actually just bare tire, no dressing. Tarminator strips the tire well which is a good base for dressing. I’ll be using these on track so I didn’t want to use my normal street tire dressing. Looking around for an alternative that would act more like rubber care 🤙🏼

Got the new splitter installed today... maxton V2 that was on the car before died after about a year of being on the car when it fell off on the freeway a few weeks ago. To be noted it’s already been repaired 3x times before that incident also, looks great just not durable for a lowered car since it’s just thin vacuum formed plastic.

Went with the Dutch splitter cause I prefer the look of the thicker material profile, thing is very stout and I’m happy with the fit and final look.

** ignore the dirty rabbit aspect..ran out of sun light after I cleaned it up.

Nice that is probably the best looking splitter Ive seen for our cars, but that 2nd gen though. :p

Just did my first at-home oil change on my Fraulein. Now enjoying an ice cold Troeg's Perpetual IPA, in the frosty A/C paradise that is my bachelor pad.

Got done at 11AM and was sweating buckets. Air temp is only 88F but my driveway measured 136.7F. Personal driveway heat record is 158.2F, set almost exactly one year ago. I don't know how you guys in Arizona do it.

Saturday: 40k DSG oil change. Found a 25years old funnel in my basement and went with top fill. Just worked great.

PP diff oil change. Used aluminum foil to drain and an amazon pump to refill. Super easy.
