I had to back them out a bit so they were not so tight and some WD40.

Definitely not the battery disconnect button because the car drives. I did engage the disconnect button 3 weeks ago, but I subsequently disengaged it by starting the car (only after realizing that I had to put the car in N because it wouldn't crank!).

Ill know on Monday if the blinker failure is caused by the CEM not having other component a connected.

👍👍

Ivan at DCT MOTORSPORTS. Google them, they do a superb job. And way cheaper than others (core deposit). I sent them the same leather and thread used on my seats for a perfect match. AMBits is just getting a new set of paddle shifters gold plated for me then I'll put everything together.

No, it's the OEM one so it only replaces the outside. http://www.redpants.lol/shop/alcanta...and-shift-****

Got it in conjunction with my shift **** and carbon fiber shifter trim. Slowly sprucing up my interior. Nowhere near as in-depth as you're going, but hoping to get it a bit more interesting than standard

Looks like DCT did a great job with that, and I can't wait to see everything get finished up!

Decided to ditch the Oracle lights and am going fully custom on the headlights, tails and side markers with Flyryde. Generating concepts now. Thoughts?

Finished making the new gauge cluster. Many thanks to AMBits for sending me a damaged cluster to salvage parts for the final project!

That looks clean, interested in seeing what your custom side marker will look like

Installed the steering wheel. Now waiting for my gold plated paddles to arrive so my upholsterer can add leather to them.
