Would love to unplug mine so that it stayed up all the time. Any more info on how to do that?

Under the carpet, passenger side, Electrical System Control Module 2, unplug wire 87 (yellow/blue) or 88 (white/blue).

Is that module close to the transmission hump? Trying to figure out where I need to be looking.

Switch on one of those wires will be even better. You can choose where to park the screen.

Thanks Mishar! Looks like from that image it must be close to the seat. Is that what you see?

I was there but can't really remember details. But I remember that you can't miss it.

It is probably the best of the bunch, did a ****load of research on all my parts hence the combo, hofele valance, sabre rs bumper and abt wing. I steered WELL clear of that JE junk. Nearly popped on a hofele front end until the updated RS bumper came out. Will look sweet once all combined, have a few colour combos in mind with black accents on front bumper to provide more accentuation on front spoilers/"splitters" as well as black inserts on rear valance and black surround on quad surrounds. The wing once blended in will set it off. I am fairly certain will pop on a set of RS wheels probably silver or shadow chrome, probably not black.

bumper demo - unpainted
No Euro plate holder, No RS corner vents(add $360)
I got RS corners coming too

Spoiler painted fitted
Mine was unpainted and just taped on

Think once all is done with RS wheels??!! lol

Current Exhaust V.3

Resonators front/rear, No mufflers, new x-pipe added(original one still on)

v.4 coming 24" resonators front to remove drone, cut out original x-pipe to utilise the fabricated one. Test with no mufflers at back/no resonators at back, then with muffler/resonator at back. Depending on results will consider Varex variable valved muffler?

The big test will be the new 24" resontors. I want growl with no drone. Yes extracors would be nice, so would a S8 lol

Yea it does look kind of ricey. Especially in our cars. Not trying to bash the guys car. Some cars look good with them, some do not. To each his own. Whatever floats his boat.
