Nice car. Which wheels did you have before the 863m? I have forged Y-spoke, I think 783 or 789m. Did you have the Y-spoke and if so how do they compare?

Very, very nice! The satin ppf looks amazing in those shots. Great round of mods so far.

It's racechip gts black. Super easy install, currently car still adapting but right of the back you can feel the difference on the butt dyno

.

Testing: I drove on Same speed while holding throttle and switched racechip off and on and your feel the trust a bit more torque.

It was only on sports mode which is level 4, as per directions I have changed it to level 7(race mode) yet until adoption is completed.

You like the Highline front lip? I’m not a huge fan. But the M performance line has not yet released a new front diffuser for the LCI competition
