Turbo. Blue.
It used to be red to go with the red wheels I had, but that car is gone now, so I had to make it blue to match the R accents.

TCR style shift knob covers. I didn't get the kind with the sliver center section, I preferred the original look, but you can get either.

Without the silver center section:

With silver center section:

I don't know if there's a difference in price between the two. They show a price range. Mine was $24 and change.

I posted installation instructions over on Vortex. I don't know whether it's been covered here. If you're interested, let me know and I'll post them in this thread.
Good quality, they're a good match for the originals.

I’m pretty sure you can do what you want without the switch. I’ve rarely used the switch to fold mine. Just let It do so on lock / unlock.

Did you buy a few spare door panel clips? You will likely break a few.
Got the mirrors installed but I'm sad to report they do not fold on lock/unlock without the switch. Unless I coded wrong? It's just the two adaptations per door, right?

Surprisingly I managed to not break any door clips, which is good considering I'll have to take them off again whenever I get the new switch in....

Good news the Black mirror caps look amazing on my reflex silver car!

Edit:. I'm an idiot...forgot to enable the fold in the MFD. Works now and it's awesome!

Links dont work. I have been considering replacing mine since it's getting pretty beat after 5 years.

I messaged the seller on AliExpress but the only response I got was incoherent... I'll try and get them to send one but probably won't even bother taking the door panel off again.

Installed a Unitronic Intercooler stock replacement. Took about 5 hours for install. Can't wait to get this thing tuned.
