Custom ordered mine from the factory in 2016, still daily it.

This is correct. I do have mine positioned the wrong way, but I'm careful to balance it properly so there is no shift at all. I lifted my friends Mini the same way and that one wanted to shift forward when pushed from behind, so I had to use a jack stand on the front to ensure stability. It...

I got the 5000TL from Costco, it seems like the perfect size.

Oof, that sucks to hear. I highly recommend Big Worm for anybody reading this thread. I installed mine myself 5 years ago on my daily driver and they're still good as new other than some rock chips on the front end.

The pen comes with a small brush, that's what I used. I also used a small crow bar to scrape the old paint out, it has a bit of an angle at the end that helped to get around the window edge. You will definitely need thin yet stiff tools for the cleaning and prepping in your case.

I fixed mine with a paint pen Here, but my primer was still good and had no rust. I feel like you should be able to clean that up and re-primer like you said. I know I would for that price.

Smooth Airflow In the first year of my owning this car I took it in to the dealership for that free first oil change. They somehow snapped the elbow on the left side of the intake tube and denied that they had any part in it. This was the last straw for me and the last time I took my car to...

Going straight Over the last few weeks I have been bit by bit messing with my alignment to try and get it as perfect as I can with hand tools and measurements. You can look here for how I measured toe and camber, the following is how I adjusted them. TL;DR- If you don't have enough patience...

Drilled and slotted rotors and shocks aren't stock.

Hmmm... you bought a 2015 probably a year after manufacture that had beige seats, which sounds like a custom order because a dealer is unlikely to order those for themselves. I don't think you were the first owner. I think the first owner bought it, put some parts on the car but never really...

Yep, I remember seeing them on sale for $900 and deciding next time they went on sale I would buy them. Next time they were on sale they were $1300. Oof. Still worth it though.

Check the item page on the Steeda website, the instructions are on there.

Bump for my NM peeps

They scammed you, but it's perfectly legal. "Buyer beware" and all that. Any legit vender would understand that is an error on their part, but scammers will take your money and ignore you.
