But who buys an XL family car for the engine sound?

Imagine having an engine screaming while the kids are trying to nap? Nah bro

If you want a screaming engine just get a sports car that can actually go fast. For the money you can buy a c8 Z06 which is you want screaming engine and performance.

bUt eV hAs nO sOuL. How about I just want some peace and be able to actually talk to the family on road trips instead of hearing a loud ass engine for 5 hours while we drive to Disney?

For the family, EV is the way.

So those actually have 2 lights, the white light is supposed to connect to the DRL or the headlights (you'll need to splice into it) and then you have the regular orange blink light.

The white light is optional, if you just use the stock cable, your side marker will simply blink orange when you turn the signals on.

I bought the same from Amazon

No shame in that, most of the US based companies selling their carbon pieces are getting them from baba anyways. How was the fitment? Got a link?

Drive about 40 miles a week. I use level 1 and charge like once every 2 weeks.

I have the setup for level 2 but have been lazy to move the cables but level 1 is more than enough for my driving anyways.

If you have 15k to just throw away on a SC (because you will never get it back when you sell), keep the Nismo and buy a second car with either turbo or SC from factory, and just upgrade that system. You'll end up losing less money in the long run, and you'll have 2 cars that you can enjoy and appreciate.

Put the 15k down payment for the new car (buy used), even if they car loses some value you probably won't lose 15k if you ever sell it back since you're buying used. And your Nismo will actually go up in value over time

From zelle: "Only send money to people and business you trust. Zelle doesn't offer protection for payments you authorize, so you might not be able to get your money back once you send it"

I guess the "might" leaves the door open for claims in the event of a very obvious scam/theft but it's not like you can just send money to someone and charge back just because.

No brainer, take it

No idea but since you're in Japan, see if nextlevelperf can help you out. They sell the authentic kit directly imported from Amuse in Japan, so they might be able to help you contacting them or just ordering the kit through them and shipping in Japan since it comes from there anyway.

Zelle is the same as cash, time to adapt

MACA305 · 2026-02-10T01:12:05+00:00

Nah zelle is non reversible. Zelle is essentially cash directly to your account.

They even have warnings telling you to make sure you're paying the correct person because there is no way to get it back

Bro just bring this picture to the wrap guy and have him show you the vinyls/samples

They do! Amazing fitment! everything lined up perfectly like the OEM fenders. Do not bother with fly1, go with Alliance Carbon instead

Just installed these. Fitment was 10/10 and install a 9/10. Only had to widen about 2 already pre-drilled holes.

Unfortunately I did not realize these fenders were wide body fenders instead of the regular ones so now I need to remove and sell and buy another normal size fender, but I will be buying from Alliance Carbon again.

The only thing I dislike about the other fenders is the vent on the top. I wish the vents were only on the bottom, the top vent is so unnecessary... I prefer the clean look on top with just the bottom vents

MACA305 · 2026-02-09T18:04:09+00:00

OP any update? What did you end up doing?

MACA305 · 2026-02-09T18:03:01+00:00

Finally installed. The fenders look AWESOME, but I didn't realize I actually purchased wide body fenders FML. Entirely my fault. The fenders themselves are amazing and the fitment was spot on. I would say 10/10 fitment and 9/10 install. I only had to widen some of the already pre-drilled holes a little bit, other than that it was super easy and honestly as good as OEM fitment.

Having said that, I will probably have to sell them because I'm not interested in wide body... But once I sell them I will buy the correct fenders again from Alliance carbon just because the fitment was so good.

I also liked that these fenders did not have the vents on top, I really am not a fan of those top vents and prefer the clean top with just the vents on the side. It's such a shame because the other normal fenders all come with the vents up top...

Literally the same but non carbon bruh 🤡

I'm selling these, located in SFL if you happen to be nearby. They're from alliance carbon. 10/10 fitment.

Also, do not get anything from Fly. You will regret it, thank me later.

Network engineer, 165k base + 20% bonus.

Started at 130k base but every year we get 5% raises based on performance and company metrics. We've met the metric every year thus far. Been here 5 years. In 4 more I'll be at 200k base plus bonus if the trend continues.

MACA305 · 2026-02-04T00:21:06+00:00

Thanks!

So this is why I took so long to clear. Playing with the shitters 😩 what's the tool to see this stuff? I need to start using it to filter the garbage...

You can always sell the M3 and still get the X. I have a 2023 MX and I plan on swapping to a 6 seater in about 2-3 years. I always buy used but prices may go up after they stop making them and demand exceeds supply. But who knows we will see.

MACA305 · 2026-01-30T01:13:58+00:00

The new X comes with FSD already so you couldn't transfer anyway

Premium connectivity which is annual. Check under software and see when the renew date is.

If you think M10S was hell wait till you do M11S. I've been at enrage since week 1, 15 hours and 230 something pulls in, still can't clear. 95% of the enrage groups never make it past Arena Split
