Just updated my surround view to have thinner black lines.

Thread with instructions below if you'd like to do the same.

Now that is a big project! Did you run new lines for the DSC module, make adapters, or manage to fit your existing ones to the new unit?

I was able to find a “pre 2013” / “black cap” ACC DSC, which bolts in and hooks up directly so no modifying brake lines or wiring harness is necessary. I actually purchased an “MK100” version with the intent of changing brake lines but ultimately didn’t do it since you also need to cut and splice like 20+ wires since the connector changed.

The installation went smoothly; I just went slow and careful to make sure that no brake lines were bent in the process and not to strip any nuts. It was a pretty big PITA to do the brake bleeding and ISTA procedure without a lift or quick jacks, but with patience and perseverance it was done

I replaced the standard yellow front bumper reflectors with smoke black reflectors. These end up being raised above the bumper maybe a couple millimeters. I may source some flush mount reflectors later.

Ran into the same issue. Easy fix is to double or triple the layers of 3M trim tape till you get the flush fitment.

That's a good idea. I'll leave it as it is for now.

AGA E-Brake clip

I installed the AGA E-Brake click after replacing the retaining clip four years ago with a new OEM one that also failed. Not wanting to do this job a third time, I went billet!

My broken brake cable clip was staring me in the face tonight and I have a spare but didn't have the energy to do it. Those billet ones look nice. Note the orange zip ties holding my brake cables off the driveshaft lol

I poly pushed my diff tonight. Last night it was ARM midpipe

Damn you going all out with the GC track build! That's a dream for me but it's my daily driver haha. Been awesome to see the progress you've had from pre turbo to now.

During a DIY rod bearing replacement (the oil pan was the real issue) and many, many more DIY projects this February and now March, I hand-cleaned every bit of the chassis.

The top clip pushes further back into the fuel take groove further than you would expect; a silicon lubricant (WD-40) will be your friend. Once seated, you will feel it. It's a nice solid "this isn't going anywhere" feeling.

If you do not seat it far enough, the bottom portion of the clip will drive you mad, making you wonder how this will ever clear.

I would lightly liberate all metal surfaces of the clip, mount it, and then wipe it clean with acetone or denatured alcohol on a towel so the oil doesn't collect dirt and debris.

Job done!

You have definitely inspired me to put my car up on the quickjacks and pull the belly pans down to do an undercarriage cleaning. Seems to be one of the most neglected task for most in detailing their cars.
