Speed limit on the highway right by my house is 75mph....
80mph on the toll roads in Austin, IIRC.

The highest limit we have here is 70, and reckless is still 80mph+.
Most of the main highways are in the 55-65 range, but *ahem* "people" regularly do 75-80. Never me though...

I live one light away from US27...
above Griffin Road, about 6 miles up, you can literally go as fast as you want and nobody cares.

How bad is the actual mirror install? I went ahead and purchased DAP power-folding ones from Lativa (E-ACCA) as well as the aspherical glass and such. Currently debating on reusing current mirror caps or buying some new ones.
I purchased two of the door panel clips as I anticipate at least one or two breaking.

@TheMuffinMan It can be done in about two hours, assuming you have the proper tools - a couple torx bits, plastic trim removal tools, and fish tape. The fish tape is the most important one of it all though - without that, you're not getting the wiring around the window track.
PS - I just remembered we have met at C&C a few years ago. You were there with the S2k, I had my FR-S, and John with the white supercharged BRZ was there too - small world Depending on when you want to do the install, I'd be up to give you a hand, if you'd like. I have an OBD Eleven as well, so we can code it if you don't have access to VCDS.

Actually picked up a VCDC (Hexv2) myself, figured I had enough small things to code.

I gave the car a quick wash today in preparation for these... @SamDoe1
I got a pretty good deal on these. They are 19x8 Pretorias - a factory option - which weighs around 21lbs each. They're about 5lbs lighter compared to one of the Englishtowns on the car now.
Apparently a tech at the dealership I got my car from used a screwdriver to pry off the wheel weights on a customers car. The customer (rightfully) got pissed and demanded a replacement set. The tech was apparently on the hook for the $2600 the dealership had to cough up, so they had these four wheels and tires, plus a brand new wheel in the box, listed for $1200 on Facebook of all places.
I paid $950.
The scratches really aren't that bad - so I think it's a pretty good deal. They aren't on the car yet because I need to ceramic coat them, and I ran out of tar and iron remover. I've got it on order, so they will be on by the end of the week.

I use an OBDEleven - it takes some getting used to since you use you phone, but it does 99% of the stuff VCDS can do. It's also about 1/3rd the price.

Damn nice deal and they will look much better than those wheels that came on the car. Worst case you could always powder coat them.

I know it, man...
I almost placed my order yesterday actually...was just reading up.
From what I read on a review on Amazon, buying the "PRO" version through them gives you only the 11 credits.
Do you know if that's true? Does PRO version get you all the credits you need?
The suggestion was to go basic and upgrade to PRO as needed.

I don't use the credits - a lot of the apps they have don't work properly for the 7.5 Golfs yet, so I just do long coding. I'm also a control freak, so...
Btw, one thing I forgot to mention - it's Android only right now. They're putting out a new version soon that supports iOS.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S10.
I almost went Iphone this last round...I've been contemplating the switch since 2002.
Got that G1 instead. Samsung has a pretty good model to bump up what you can
do right after they release the new iphone...this G10 is a huge upgrade over the 8. First
time in a while I was like wow...this phone is crazy and it's mainly the 3 different camera lenses
on the back of the phone ranging from tele to wide angle.

Plus you can always resell it if you have no use for them. They usually don't last long on the used market.

VWV but these weren't posted in the classifieds, I hit someone up that made an offhand comment that they were selling.
The ones posted in classifieds are insane in price. I'm not paying $2k for a set of wheels, that's pretty much a set of BBS wheels.
