So you're saying I should get a whole new steering wheel just for the blacked out f sport performance badge

Been a while since I posted here, well there's been a reason for that.. a BMW 3 series(typical beamer owner) rear ended me on my way home from the grocery store he was going about 70 mph. The only reason the car isn't totaled is because I saw him at the last minute and swerved to the left. I know the damage might not look bad but this guy bent my whole rear subframe.

Its been a hot minute since ive posted on here and the car has changed a bit. I've also got a few things to install including, FIGS engineering LCA Bushings 90, New custom F sport badges from Exotic Innovations on IG (they also make front and rear badges unsure if compatible with adaptive cruise radar), Performer Rear brakes from Toms Racing(these seem to be the best Rear pad available for the 21+ IS), and underglow from Lowglow that needs to be installed. Also got some DRL Tint and front badge sticker(not sure if I'm going to be using this as ive seen the badge from exotic innovations)

The car has also changed a lot since the last post. I've added the NIA LIP KIT, Toms Rear Diffuser, GT Haus Quad tip Exhaust, Seibon Carbon Fiber Duckbill, Side mirror Wings and Sequential Mirror lights.
