This wasn’t all today, but finished up installing a couple things I got for Christmas from my wife:

Put on some RokBlokz tonight after work. Did the front and rear. Not too bad to install, but the instructions could be improved for sure.

About a week and a half ago I put on the steeda H-pipe. I wish it was warmer out so I could drive with the windows down and really get to hear it. I definitely love the sound I do get to hear though. Double checked the torque on the clamps tonight and they needed just a slight tightening. With that done I consider it a completed install.

Also did a tire rotation while I had them off for the Rokbloks install.

Looks great. I park next to my wife's white Edge also! haha

I realize you have the lights on a switch. But I've been always "taught" or always thought you should convert light fixtures to receptacles if they're to be used that way, but I suppose the way you have it is a fairly clean install too... :)

If your battery dies, you will not be able to get in your trunk.
I suggest the power pack in the glove box.
Guess how.I know............

Do the RokBlokz fully cover the stock tires?

Had Steeda H Pipe installed a couple of weeks ago, love the deeper sound now......Sport+ always.

How much is "some?" I'm at 32k with 2 track events and still have plenty last time I saw I think. What life do you expect to get out of them, or is yours mainly a track weapon?

Adjusted the parking brake.

Had rear on ramps, and made it under enough to reach the nut.

Adjuster is above the resonator !! totally hidden.
You can see it though, looking forward from the back, and I accessed it with a 10mm deep 1/4" drive socket and long extension.

Nearly impossible to use a rachet, as the tighten rotation takes some windup in cable before turning the nut, then you lose it when you rachet back for another bite. You need to turn constantly - not 'rachet'.
So went to my Milwaukee cordless screwdriver with a hex-drive to 1/4 square drive adapter, and it was like 2-3 seconds and it snugged down. Snugged, not super tight. Tested the brake handle, and perfect.

Just a tip for the next guy ... use a cordless drill maybe ... but sloooow due to torque.
The Milwaukee is really handy, but lower torque - which is perfect for smaller fasteners, and rpm is slower than a drill, also great for smaller fasteners.

Finally curbed the fourth rim of my wheels after five years.

Pic after the repair with bondo and metallic black spray paint. Not a perfect match in color, but it is still hard to spot the repaired area.

If you are asking if they stick out beyond the outside edge of the tires, then yes. Looks like there’s room for wider wheels / tires as well. So room to grow.

I have a 2019 and mine is about to hit 40k today. At my last oil change at 39k they said the brakes look great. Lots of highway and no track for me though which helps a lot.

What I see looks like cord surface "mounted" between fixtures, and that make-do contraption to get power to a light.
Thats what we politely call "non-permited wiring".

Right, mainly the socket adapters I know electricians and inspectors don't like. But hey, previous owners of my house ran an extension cord through drywall into the ceiling to plug in an extension cord behind the drywall. Added single outlets but really I should have whole new circuit for the garage openers apparently.

I am somewhat curious about the LED lights tho. I've bought some of those you hang on a chain from trusses for our barn with plugin cord, those are great, but the ones the person has do look pretty nice and bright.
