Both Top and Center [chrome cover] bits are thin, but appear to be made out of real CF and only stuck on using the pre-applied double-sided tape. It's been 100°F past week, washed my car a few times, driving through rain, 200mil road trip, 70MPH+ speeds, and the CF are still on there.
I bought both top and center peice from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/404558988240
**I typically don't like eBay options, but I didn't want to spends $400+ on the OEM CF top pieces.

First oil change @ 1900 miles. After seeing the pretty significant amount of glitter in the oil, glad I did it ahead of schedule.
I couldn't actually find any dino 5W-30 here that was ILSAC GF-6A. Only blends that are GF-6.
Got Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic just to be safe.
Loving the race ramps. Made it super easy to get underneath with plenty of room, highly recommend them.

Installed the red stitched shifter **** and a K&N Air Filter. I know they're not the most protective filter but they do add just a bit more HP. As always I'm keeping the OEM air filter in the trunk to quickly reinstall if I find myself driving on a dusty day or on a longer road trip.
Why K&N is not that protective of air filters (13'09" in) -
Why K&N does add a couple of HP - they saw a roughly ~ 2.7% bump in HP in this test (6'06" in) -

Not trying to be debbie downer, But I was always told that it is not a good thing to have metal in the removed oil. Am I wrong. I hope so!

what's our oil drain bolt size and thread pitch? i'd like to buy a magnetic drain plug. I have 200 miles on my 2024 (I don't drive it every day) and am doing my oil soon.
