Yep, @MrTuckers...thanks, appreciate it!! Get thru this one and maybe do 1 more in next 3yrs before I hit my 20yr mark and likely retire.
20 years nice! I am betting you’re probably less than 42yo. At any case, I’m glad you stayed on to help defend our country and when you retire you’ll have all the time modding any car you want to! ?

A lifestyle mod I've been wanting to make for awhile. Mocked it up with cardboard first, the made out of a corkboard and 1/2 thick foamboard. Seemed to be well received by the intended pup :)

Maybe I can use it to catch some air?

Clever- add a pillow for that 5th passenger but they would have no seatbelt. ?

Seems like the Gram Lights 57DR (Gunmetal IIs) are hard to come by. What I did for my R today was scour the entire net for these wheels and many places out of stock. Not sure why Evasive Motorsports only carry these in 19s. Going 19s will defeat the purpose of wanting to go meatier on the tires.

Seems like System Motorsports and a few other places are exclusive to the 18x9.5 sizes? Is anyone on a waiting list for these wheels and if so, how long have you been waiting already? System Motorsports gave me a coupon code to use for preorders and it could be months before they receive any in stock, which is my best guess.

surprised how easy this mod was popping the front panels and the ease of applying the film. I had a heat gun on stand by but didn’t need it.

Yea, no pillow needed as he stands pretty much the whole time unless he moves over to bark at something out the window. He wears a harness and is buckled in. Not sure how an adult would feel with that next to them, but needed something better when I have a human navigator as he was always pushing he head up under my arm on the stick.

The shift knob on my 2020 is freezing cold.

Any alternatives or suggestions out there (besides putting on racing gloves)?
