18x18.5 TSW Bathurst w/ 245/40 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S. I promptly laid down 2 coats of CQuartz UK and hit the tires with Chemcial Brothers VRP. Not a huge fan of VRP but I don't want to waste the rest of the bottle. Props to Extreme Customs, these wheels were out of my allocated price range for this car BUT I got the whole package mounted, balanced and shipped for $1,640 which was right inline with what I was planning to spend on a Konig Ampliform based package.

I have an aftermarket exhaust and the mufflers have a comfortable gap between diffuser. Have you tried isolating the mounting points with rubber washers?

I KNEW it was my OEM muffler...dang it. I tried using heat resistant grill tape/foam, but it doesn't work. Next thing will have to be two rubber o-rings with a cut in them to fit over the back of the diffuser.

Finally got the screen portion of the 8" display upgrade in the mail!

The display is a used 5NA919606 model (one of two non-nav versions) and cost about $300 shipped on eBay. With all that's going on it took over a month to arrive from Germany. The trim was also used from eBay and was $140 but came from NC so it was here in a week. Fortunately, both items are in near perfect condition.

Not a cheap upgrade but it's something I'll use every time I'm in the car so I think it's worthwhile. So excited to get this installed!
