Can I trust for OEM bbs stickers?

Their site looks legit, and does state "100% Genuine BBS product." Shipping from the UK is expensive, but these shouldn't be too bad! Do you have other price point info?

No I just did a quick search I'll let you guys know if I find anymore at home on my computer

Coupe drivers who track: does your seatbelt flap around/wind-buffet with your driver's window down? Do you have a 'fix' or just deal with it?

So silly me posted this originally in my Build thread.. I really need to pay more attention to where I'm posting lol, BUT

So can anyone please enlighten me on what vacuum lines sit behind the Intake Manifold and go connected back here? I'm 100% sure this is the source of my vacuum leak on my car causing me to have these codes.
I've used PaSoft and it tells me plenty but now I know what the source of it is and I have no idea where the vacuum line is, so before I rip apart my intake manifold, can someone help me diagnose WHAT HOSE GOES HERE lol

Attachment 30875

The exit point with the "ripped hose" is what I'm talking about, I attached that piece of hose hoping to plug it but I'd rather solve it once and for all rather than my BS 'home remedy' lol

Thank you all in advance

I assume you mean your passenger one? The driver's one should be on and in use... lol
I would hook the passenger seatbelt into the seat tilt lever. That should prevent it from flopping around when the wind hits it.

Does anyone have any tips for maintaining alcantera seats? My suede is starting to burr a little bit on the bolsters.

I'm talking about the section of belt between my shoulder and the B pillar. It's a much longer span than in the sedan, and I can feel the belt buffeting on my shoulder. Kinda weird to describe, I guess.

Oh... that's very strange that it's buffeting like that. Perhaps you can buy one of those shoulder pad things that I see in some cars and slide it back there?
I can't see any other solution in my head, but... my brain has seen better days so that doesn't mean much.

The fabric shaver is more of a reactionary measure than a preventative one. It's good for now, then for the future, I recommend checking out this video.
It's very informative on how to clean/maintain alcantara.
