What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

Received an envelope fron Fedex containing a duty and tax invoice for my purchase from e-acca.

Absolutely not. I hate that it's red, and I hate that my coils are red. I'm in an R, so I want my accent colors to be blue, god damn it! That's why I keep my engine cover on, and waiting for the plastic battery cover from AliExpress to arrive, so I can hide all the red.

I bought it because it was only about $20 more than getting a similar spec'd AGM from AutoZone, and now I have FCP's lifetime warranty replacement with it.

All I ever get from Ali express are email ads for dildos and the random butt plug, or key fob cover. Maybe my gov computer has been browsing too much pr0n. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got the EuroSport rear brace an a few other items. Looking forward to installing the brace this weekend as I have been wanting to work on my car. Install looks easy enough

It's a little tedious, but straightforward. No need for removing seats. I laid down blue painter's tape and marked the outlines on the tape, rather than the panel itself, and only removed what I needed to. I folded the remainder pieces back into place so it looks more factory.

 

[DrFunkalupicus]

That looks good

Got some got Cobb stuff to go with my other Cobb stuff, and my seat brackets came in.

Which Recaros are you going with?

 

[GTI RobG]

Not today, but last Saturday, picked up a new ARM catted downpipe from a forum member. It’ll go on after I do my NJ inspection in June.

tall bolsters:

Those are snazzy. Are you doing the airbag/PODS delete, or just going to live with the light?

I have the light on now, from when I had my Corbeau's, and I guess because I didnt do the occupancy sensor. I did have cancellers, but the light came on anyway. The plan this time is to do it right with both seat harnesses, rail and occupancy sensors. I been staring at the damn light for almost a year, enough is enough lol.

are you going to transfer the seat heating pads as well?

I have new ones to install.

I have new ones to install.

I'm doing the passenger's lower pad and rail sensors with airbag cancellers, but I'm so antsy about taking the corbeaus apart. I considered going through everything to retain heated seats, but it's a summer car as it is, so I'm not too concerned about it.

Believe me, as someone who knows ZERO about upholstery, I am very antsy about messing with $3k dollar seats, much less taking them apart.
