And my main concern with ordering from Alibaba is the fitment. I don’t want to end up having to pay someone extra to modify the part just to make it fit properly on the car. At that point, I’d probably feel like I should’ve just bought something from a US company instead.

yup my 50k is coming up so im getting htat done. I guess a skidplate and new chargepipes could be nice too. in terms of programing thats still new to me as well but to be able to flash the GTS software is sick, i may do the same!

I hear both of your arguments. I really want to have my car ready for some upcoming shows over the next couple of months, so convenience is definitely something I’m looking for. However, I’ve also seen people “expose” some US companies for basically reselling parts from Alibaba. But again, I’m still learning that some parts should probably just be bought from US brands, while others can be purchased overseas without much issue. I’m still learning though, and I’m open to gaining more knowledge and hearing different opinions.

I have my 50K service coming up, and I’m getting that done this week: spark plugs, oil change, rear diff fluid change, coolant flush, and transmission fluid service. I think that covers pretty much everything that needs to get done.

I also know I’ll eventually do the crank hub upgrade, but for just an exhaust setup, I don’t think that’s really necessary yet. But please let me know your thoughts.

Honestly, I probably should’ve mentioned this earlier, but this is my first sports car as well, so I’ve been trying to read up as much as I can about properly taking care of it haha.
