Muuuuuch needed update coming at ya face right now so sit back and shuuuut up.
My body is still stuck in a European time zone, so I made the most of waking up two hours early this morning and swapped in the heater control bracket that I had bought used a couple months ago. It's a 3 year old part that cleaned up great, but install was 200% more of an asshole than expected as I swapped over the 12V outlet too (PO had spilled some shit all up in there).

I also swapped in a used M3 leather wheel before the trip. I hate to admit that I like it more than the alcantara.....probably because I'm a filthy neanderthal that gets in the car with dirty hands and makes the alcantara all nasty and slippery.

Although it's like...pretty much plastic...I think someone cleaned it with a sealant...I don't know...it still grips better than the always-dirty alcantara, so I'm digging it for now.

Oh and I guess I never added a pic of the brushed aluminum trim on here. I am really, really happy with how it turned out.

And long before that, I got my backup camera all wired up and working.

Yeah, I ran the wire through one of the screw holes for the trunk handle. I'm running 1 screw short on the handle now like a madman. Come at me.
