I gave one of my stickers to ShellDude, broke my lanyard clip, and my screaming monkey is hanging off a mag base on my rollaway in
the garage.
Midpipe, old coil kit & fuel pump ring tool.
BHR coils w/ Msd wires in. Excellent product. I love that his new globally compliant coils get rid of the harness and excess bracketing. Such a quick and easy install/swap out, etc.
The new coils and wires look great on your car! I have the early version with gray MSD wires and they're still working great! The couls have been in the car and working great since 2012!

Thank you! They feel great too. The car has always ran smooth, however I do believe it has improved even moreso with the new ignition components. Charles was fabulous to work with, great product and a great business.
Jazer, Tastefully done! Nice attention to subtle points: clean, de-embleming, wheels, exh. tips, etc.
I considered an aftermarket audio head unit, but ultimately went with a blue tooth adapter connection to my phone. It's cheaper, simpler, and allows play or streaming music, and phone calls thru car audio.

Thanks a lot! Exactly my goal for the car. I like the stock options for the 8 so I wanted to stay true to how they come, but pull it away from stock just a little bit, haha.
Can I ask what adapter you used? I have looked at various aux/bluetooth addons for the stock radio. I do know my version is compatible at least. I have had two aftermarket head units in the 8. The first one worked okay, but didnt have the proper harness for the Bose amp. It sounded like ****. The second radio I used we had already used in our Evo and then had in storage - so Im not sure if it got banged around one too many times or if the metra kit became faulty but I had issues with that one (sometimes the radio wouldn't receive power when I'd go to turn the car on, and only pulling a fuse and reinserting would restore power. I'd also get alternator feedback. Ground loop isolator didnt help. All connections were nice and tight and correct.). Just annoying issues the stock radio fixed instantly. What does suck is the aftermarket radio gave more sound control so did sound better than OE. I would also like to revisit my tablet in the nav hood which is currently outdated and replace with a newer one and maybe go that route for future radio modifications. I think that may be a fun project to go a lil more in depth with.
I just dropped a lot to put a real nice tech setup in my "family" car so the 8s audio is not my priority atm.

Nothing extravagant: IMDEN Bluetooth Transmitter. ~$20. Keep it plugged into the aux. power receptacle hidden in the center console, and use it's quick charge USB port to keep my phone charged.
Awesome car! Love it! Seems you went the same route I did with my GTI. Hey I am in eastern NC as well. Here is my thread. Ever want to trade HMU. Awesome car! LOVE IT!
