It's a 2016, picked it up late 2016 though. It was one of the cars the dealership had out front with the top down, so I can't fault it too too much, despite some of the trim issues being repetitive.

M2 backbox and 3D style diffuser I picked up here from caspertraberg.
Will tweak the fitment once my Dinan resonator delete gets here but so far I'm ok with it. Sound is...well...exactly what we think it would sound like haha
Not quite M2 but way more aggressive than stock at full wail. Whole package for much less than MPE and I really think it helps the back end of the car.

Nice set up buddy. Some carbon fiber tips might complete the rear look.

Thanks! Baby steps but I agree completely.
Will get fitment where I want it and go from there.

Hey Duke, did you do the install yourself or was a shop involved? Did the M2 exhaust need to be modified?

Did it myself with a buddy helping to line things up. I cut the M2 and my factory exhaust where one would cut to install a resonator delete and clamped it together. Pretty simple although it hangs a touch low for now.

Threw on some lovely EBC Yellows and new rotors... It is misery bedding them in gently, abiding by EBC's recommendations!

Too much HDR? Lift the Balck so we can see the hidden curves, also recommend tighter crop and shoot it lower so it's like the car is looking into the lens not i stress of top own view.

Just2 cents

Okay dude, your car is my favorite car on the sub (second to mine of course!); I am in MN not too far from where Prince lived, and I think of "Little Red Convertible" every single time I see your posts! Lovely ride! You have years of fun ahead of you. Smiles per miles. Stay healthy and drive safe!

As I loaded up yet another piano action this morning to take home to work on, I realized I should probably document this! lol

As a piano technician, I chose the 2 series for its “practicality” and “versatility”

I can fit 2 grand piano actions or 1, 9’ concert Steinway action through the back with room to spare for tools, etc.

Anyway, felt like it was worth sharing

have a great day everyone!
