@Westcoast Yes, I used Menzerna to remove the light scratches. I started out cautiously and worked my way up to (if I remember correctly) a medium polish.

I came close to the cargraphics valve controller, but decided I should at least try the car out and decide I need it before buying it. The Soul one is a LOT less expensive, but I guess doesn't recall the previous setting. Still, $175 versus $500 is quite a difference.

The cargraphics imo is a cleaner install, No need to tap for power or mess with vacuum lines. All you need to do is ground it and plug it in. I think for how clean it is, it is definitely worth the $500.

Very happy with mine and the overall ease of install...

Starting my pre-delivery purchases, 2 months early!

Just got the Kline OAPs and muffler!

Thanks to Eric at Supreme Power. Great to work with and I highly recommend!

Agreed. The money is long since forgotten while the quality is remembered forever.

Sounds like the cargraphics is an easy enough install that I could recoup some of the difference in cost via doing it myself instead of taking it somewhere for a shop to do it.

Beauty..... Can you take a picture to show the inside of the OAP ? Just curious to see what they look like. TIA.

It may make more sense to just get a Softronic tune, which can be coded to do the same thing along with several other things, and more power as well!

Wouldn't a tune be a real short trip to an invalidated warranty?

Nice!!

A few questions:

Is this stainless or Inconel?

Are you using oem tips?

Could you mention your delivery time and which vendor used?

Thanks!!

Yep the warranty would be voided. Just get the cargraphics controller. It is worth the money. I set mine to my homelink so I don't even need to have the remotes with me. I see that you have a spyder. I've seen videos and its pretty easy install. It's a bit tight, but nothing crazy. I did it on a GT4 and let me tell you... there was alot of things to take off before actually reaching the engine cover compared to the convertibles.

First reaction. That’s ridiculous.

Second reaction. I could get Satin Aurum pedals to match my wheels!

People do things in groups they would never do if left alone.

I got a wheel repaired after I scuffed it on a curb at 500 miles. I have to say that curb rash repair is so satisfying. You get a door ding and it’s $1,500 and it will still not be right. Get a wheel refinished, it’s $300 and it’s like it never even happened.
