    You have a 2015? So they are not imunded to head gasket failure then.
    How many miles?
    What about oil burning?

    Immune to oil burning I think. Head gasket blew at 140k miles. Didn't have any oil burning issues.

    I wouldn't say "immune" to oil burning, but it certainly has made and improvement.

    They have tighter rings than 09-14 so less oil burning problems

    I got 18x8.5 +45, The front has great clearance so far with test wheels, waiting until tire rotation to know how it fits on the rear, or until the set comes in.

    It was time for new brake pads and rotors. Little Red got drilled and slotted PowerStop rotors and ceramic coated brake pads next, gotta paint those calipers all red to look even better! Need a lot of elbow grease to scrub them hahaha

    Man I haven't been on this site in a hot minute. The Gen III is doing fine, sitting at about 138K now, still no issues. Doing the read brakes this weekend because the pins are seized up.

    Nopho, how did you achieve the LED lighting for the driving mode buttons? I am a huge fan of your interior.

    Did we miss the pics, or was there a thread that covered the swap?

    I bought the same type. I really like the "Tesla" look.

    Looking like new! Original calipers have been all scrubbed down and carefully painted red ( something I’ve wanted to do for a long time). They came out better than expected and Red looks sooo good! Next, black lug nuts and black center hub cap
