Sure! Steve (sna77) found these at an eBay auction and forwarded the auction link to me. These door sills are being shipped from Lithuania. If I find another set come up I will be sure to give you a heads up :thumbsupQuote:

Seeing that these are wear and tear items and that over time the Alcantara shift boot begins to look ratty, buying from FCP Euro seems like a great idea[emoji41]

Good idea, Charlie. I need to do the same.
Nice I agree on the shift knob but the boot you should’ve considered Colby Wheels, you can get black alcantara with whatever color stitching you’d like. I just ordered one for my alpine ZHP.Quote:

I had Mike Coby's alcantara shift boot in my first ZHP. His products are amazing but you don't have a lifetime warranty on them whereas the alcantara shift boot sold by FCP Euro comes with a lifetime warranty and it is an OEM part so I'm okay with this :thumbsupQuote:

I placed my order with FCP Euro very early yesterday morning for my Porsche front brake kit and for my ZHP a brand new alcantara shift boot and ZHP shift knob. FCP Euro’s turnaround and shipping never ceases to amaze me. I have my ordered parts the next day even though I opted for their standard shipping.... [emoji1417]
I installed the new shift boot and shift knob as soon as I got the package.

It’s really nice to have a refreshed shift boot. Looks so nice[emoji41]

Daniel, makes a big difference since my car is a 6MT and I use my shift knob all the time while driving. :)Quote:

I paid $130 +shipping for my set so I'm happy with the purchase. It is nice when you have friends looking out and they send you links. This is how I was able to get my set for my ZHP. :coolQuote:

Yes I agree, M3 side mirrors are on my to do list. I haven't done homework on them yet but I've seen some forum members talk about someone that 3d prints the base plate needed to mount the glass etc.Quote:

With sedans though, I will also need to mod the side mirror base plates using the Rogue Engineering templates. So much more work involved doing this on sedans but so worth it when it is all finished... can't wait to start this yet again to another sedan ZHP... I did this with my first ZHP, loved how it looked. :thumbsupQuote:

Almost here.... looking forward to installing these door sills in my ZHP :cool
Another delay thanks to a combination of my apartment complex and US Postal Service mixup which caused my package not to be delivered due to a signature delivery and postal delivery not coming to my door so I will go to the post office in the morning to get my package instead. That will actually be better but since it is forecasted to snow tomorrow, I will do the install at a later date when the weather is nicer....perhaps I will get new clips for these door sills from BMW in the mean time...
and I now have a new fuel pump on it’s way to me for my ZHP thanks to Alex. :thumbsup
Another system I’ll be going over the on this car to make sure it is okay.

My shipment from Lithuania have arrived and once I source brand new clips for these door sills I will be swapping to these on my ZHP. It will be another tidbit that I am correcting as I feel these door sills should have been on all ZHPs from the factory.

Actually.... if all goes well on my "road trip" this upcoming weekend then I will most likely place the order for my CSL style bootlid for my ZHP by this Monday. :coolQuote:

I got all the clips so I will be changing out my door sills tomorrow :cool
My Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s. It will be nice to compare these against the AS 3 Plus tires I have on my Audi.

This is my rear 255 tire

and this is my front 235 tire... we’ll see how my ZHP handles using this setup.
On deck pending my upcoming road trip.... SGT CSL Bootlid for sedan, first major carbon fiber addition to my ZHP Jacob [emoji57]... the evolution continues [emoji41]

I’d like to do a high kick boot lid like that, I’m interested to see how yours turns out. Always wondered how “solid” it feels and how the trunk gets bolt up to it, or if they even do
Update us on the AS4s, I'm interested in how they compare to the AS3s as well.
