I read they “Loved” it. That’s what sticks with me. I love it too.

Hey Eagle, thanks for all of that detail. Sounds like the same principal that is used when Kohler puts small pieces of material on their stainless-steel sinks to quiet them down. It would be nice to have a dedicated thread on this topic in the future once you have completed more of your...

I'd like to add some sound dampening material also, probably over the winter (Wisconsin) mostly just behind the seats, and below the rear shelf. I would think this would also help with gearbox noise. Let us know what product you are thinking of using, etc.

I brought my car to my local Indie ($175) for its first oil change today, 1100 miles. I also brought 6 quarts of the Amsoil oil recommended on this post, and a filter, magnetic drain plug, and the tools recommended. Just received a call saying it is done but appears to need about another half...

You need to pull the wire; the connector is further down under the headliner. I pulled the headliner down a bit to provide some room for the connector to pull through. I just pulled the headliner at the Sunvisor mounting hole.

If you own a phone, you just simply can't go wrong with this upgrade.

This is a subject I can get behind. I hate those damn stickers with a passion and vow to remove them from any vehicle that I own, threat of jail time, who cares. I mean, the Alcantara visors are beautiful, its sacrilege to put those yellow monstrosities on them. These were much more difficult...

I just received mine and couldn't agree more. Thanks, Silent-Cilantro!

Add the carpet buttons for a nice interior touch.

Did you install this, and if so, how did it work? Which part did you buy? Thanks,

I had trouble uploading another version prior. This is from the UK owner's manual. When I searched a while back, I did find multiple versions of this. The approach angle in this is more accurate than the one above. Looks like it is due to removing that rubber piece that is shown in the prior...

This is a "feature" that could be coded out if we had coding software. I think if you use the unlock button in the car prior to opening the door it will only take one pull. Dumb.

They did cut a custom triangle piece for my install.

I hope everything is okay for you as you get through the aftermath of the storm.

Thanks Porter. That was one of my thoughts. Do you need to remove any bolts from the diffuser undertray to facilitate removing the oil change access undertray. I'd like to put together a cheat sheet for my indie that I will have do the oil change. Thanks for the parts list also, I bought...

Is there a DIY writeup on removing the access panel for the oil change?

Look up the individual pieces for the Emira on the Xpel website. You will see that cutout and several other areas that have relief cutouts. I did not notice those when I was doing research. My installer said the film would lift if those cutouts were not there. Evidently Xpel wants to prevent...

This looks similar.

Thanks for confirming I'm not completely batshit crazy. I wonder why it behaves like this, there must be some reason. Thanks for all the additional details also.

It's a coding thing. The dealer could change this (and other coding) if they are willing and know how to do it. I'd like to turn of the seatbelt chime and do some other coding options. Hopefully someday.

Whenever I open a door or the hatch my infotainment system starts up and CarPlay comes on and starts playing music without me turning any power on or accessing CarPlay on my phone. I'm assuming this is normal behavior but thought I would check with this question. It would help explain why they...

I'm interested.

Dandy Lion

I'm on Touring. The car "reads' the roads but it feels very good. No issues with shaking and no wheel vibration whatsoever. I like the feedback the steering provides.

If it continues, I will. Sometimes it sounds pretty normal, until I turn it up a bit.

My sub sounds like it is broken if I turn the volume up a bit. It "pops" instead of producing nice bass. Sounds like a cheap speaker being overdriven. Hopefully this is a break-in thing. On another note, I'd like to add some sound insulation in the rear of the car behind/under the rear shelf...

If you remove the bolts for the exhaust hanger it will make it much easier to pry the exhaust at that flange. Removing the hanger lets the pipe going into the cat move to the right. Were you able to get the other side of the pipe out of where the band clamp holds it on?

I don't have a picture, but my replacement emblem had multiple strips of 3M VHB tape that holds it on.

I installed both the controller and GRP delete pipe last weekend, and agree, its transformative.

It was stubborn. I have some PB Blaster that would have helped but it was clogged. I used a 2X2 and a mallet per Greg’s instructions and it came off in about 5 minutes of hitting it. Once it was loose the install was easy.

I beat on it with a mallet. GRP pipe and exhaust controller.

I installed the decat pipe and exhaust controller in my garage today on 8-inch Race Ramp wheel cribs (really liked those btw). It wasn't too bad, but I definitely needed that rubber mallet and a 2X2 to get the third cat to exit. Install was very straight forward, Greg provides great...

My PPF installer has had my car for several weeks (long story). I've been there to check in a few times, and he showed me a few things. He is using Xpel. The rear bumper is two pieces and is split at the line you have in red. The upper part with the Lotus emblem is separate from the lower part...
