Installed FITCAMX front and rear dash cams. Took my time out of an abundance of caution so took me about 2 hours.
I think I may regret not going with the higher resolution rear but we will see.

Got my IND painted front reflectors in. Couldn't wait, had to give it a go. Took longer than it should because I didn't have the right tool, but got it done. I'm pretty happy with it.

Going this week, finally, for a little paint correction and ceramic coat.

Before, after, and close up:

I'm planning to go with Fitcamx on my 2018 G30, but haven't decided whether to go with the rear camera. Do you mind sharing how easy / complex it was to route the wiring and mount the rear camera? Thanks!

It was not difficult at all. From front, tucked under headliner. When I got to driver side A pillar /door there is a gap where the a pillar meets the headliner. Then just tucked in weather strip along front door. Another gap between b pillar and rear door weather strip. Then at rear there is a gap to get you to the headliner rear window.
You will have extra cable. There is a cover that pulls down under the shark fin. Use the pry tool to get it off. Zip tie extra cable and tuck underneath. I mounted the camera using provided mounting tape to the plastic piece just under the brake light. Happy to answer any questions.

Thank you very much for letting us know your experience. Helps me decide to go with the rear camera too!

It literally takes 5-10 minutes to install. I would definitely have both F+R.

Sounds amazing together with a high flow cat. Originally I ordered a Dinan muffler, after waiting 2 months I canceled the order, last month I ordered a full remus exhaust, but last week was told that it's backordered till the last week of July, I couldn't wait any longer

One of the first with the LCI diffuser I've seen, too. Lots of people say the MPE is underwhelming but I really like it, no problems with mine and with a tune it can get even louder. Enjoy it.

Thanks! I'll definitely take better pictures and sound clips soon.

Installed BMC high flow intake filters. The hardest part was getting the rubber baffle back on. Pain in the ass. It has to be aligned up perfectly to go on correctly. Good idea to do one side at a time to compare.

Have not driven it yet, so I dont know how the sound difference is but I expect more intake rush and blowoff noises.

I turned off ASD and it made me realize I was driving in a video game before.

LOL !

Very true.

I'd rather hear the real exhaust and intake/blowoffs doing their jobs. Your Dinan system probably sounds even better now with the fake shit off.

It definitely does. I can actually hear what it's doing. Made me like it even more. Much louder than I expected.

Today I added CarPlay to my iDrive 6 after years of resisting it. Pretty happy so far.
